Get a Life, Chloe Brown

4.5/5 ⭐️

Okay, first of all, I initially thought that Eve's book was going to be the only and most relatable book in this series for me. But the way the story carried out Chloe's fear of getting hurt and her dissociating from her usual activities hit me in my non-existent sack of balls. Clearly, I'm having issues of my own, I am very much aware of that thank you ver much. But reading this book made it seem like the author sneaked into my ipad and read all of my journals. This is almost therapy for me. Okay, not almost. This IS therapy for me.

“You don't always have to be okay.” - Red, Chapter 18

“When you walked out, it felt like I was breaking. No one should be able to make feel like that. No one should have that power. It's not...safe.” - Chloe, Chapter 21

She laughed and the air tasted different. Clean - Red, Chapter 23

This book almost broke me. Nope, I didn't cry. But I almost did. The way each of their own fears and traumas were handled and narrated was almost unassuming. It really felt like I'm witnessing two real-life couple handle the bouts of explosive emotions that was born from their past relationships. I hate that I thought I wasn't gonna like this book because I wasn't completely invested in the beginning (having assumed that Eve's book was the peak for me). I might have enjoyed their angsty banters and teenage-like blush moments more if I knew that it would be this good.

With all that, I would like to go on record to say that I want my own sensitive but adventurous artsy biker man who can take me on a camping trip with an air mattress, fairy lights, and a giant pack of marshmallows.
