Rezension von Dr Malini BhatThis book felt like a warm hug wrapped in sarcasm and soft tension 🥹✨ Chloe Brown is prickly, brilliant, stubborn, and so deeply relatable — and Red Morgan? A tattooed, artistic cinnamon roll with emotional depth I was NOT prepared for. What I loved most is how real this romance felt. Chloe’s chronic illness isn’t just mentioned — it’s part of her life, her strength, her limits. And Red’s vulnerability? The way he loves gently, patiently… it melted me. The banter is sharp, the chemistry is chef’s kiss, and the emotional payoff is soft but powerful. It’s not dramatic or overly angsty — it’s intimate, healing, and beautifully human. If you love grumpy/sunshine vibes, emotionally mature romance, and a heroine who decides to choose life on her own terms — this one’s for you 💛
Rezension von Jasmin Bley"When it comes to the people we love, it's not about their faults" - Chloe hat Fibromyalgie und das angenehme in diesem Buch ist, dass Talia Hibbert es schafft, dass der Plot nicht durch Chloes chronische Erkrankung bestimmt ist, sondern sich viel mehr so anfühlt, als wäre die Krankheit einfach ein Teil von Chloes Leben so wie es im echten Leben eben auch ist. (Side Fact: Die Autorin selbst leidet auch an Fibromyalgie). Was ich total beeindruckend finde ist, dass es Talia Hibbert schafft wie Behinderung und chronische Krankheiten, ernsthaft, empathisch, respektvoll und irgendwie noch immer als amüsant darzustellen (siehe Onesie-Szene - got me giggling). When it comes to Chloes love interest - Red - ist er einfach ein Traumpartner, unabhängig davon, dass er ein angenehmer nice guy ist (und nicht einer von den creepy nice guys), der seine Vorurteile overcomed (Klassismus), indem auch Themen wie race behandelt werden. Red ist unheimlich aware und aufmerksame, wenn es um Chloes Wohlbefinden geht, so wie man sich das in RL auch wünschen würde. So ist "Get a Life, Chloe Brown" eine sehr gute depiction wie eine gesunde Beziehung aussehen kann und sollte. Das Buch ist total relatable was auch Red's Trigger angeht und auch Chloes Quirks und Eigenheiten, wie Listenschreiben (und wundervolle stainonery zu haben), um Kontrolle über ihr Leben zu bekommen. Mein Lieblingscharakter ist Oma Gigi, die einfach exzentrisch, witty, smart und im besten Sinne snarky ist und die besten Ratschläge der Welt gibt. Und natürlich die Katze Smudge.
