Description
“Absolutely charming... a flawless balance of humor, heat, sweetness, and depth, and I loved every page.” – Helen Hoang, USA Today bestselling author of The Bride Test
USA TODAY BESTSELLER
A witty, hilarious romantic comedy about a woman who’s tired of being “boring” and recruits her mysterious, sexy neighbor to help her experience new things—perfect for fans of Sally Thorne, Jasmine Guillory, and Helen Hoang!
Chloe Brown is a chronically ill computer geek with a goal, a plan, and a list. After almost—but not quite—dying, she’s come up with seven directives to help her “Get a Life”, and she’s already completed the first: finally moving out of her glamorous family’s mansion. The next items?
Enjoy a drunken night out.Ride a motorcycle.Go camping.Have meaningless but thoroughly enjoyable sex.Travel the world with nothing but hand luggage.And... do something bad.
But it’s not easy being bad, even when you’ve written step-by-step guidelines on how to do it correctly. What Chloe needs is a teacher, and she knows just the man for the job.
Redford ‘Red’ Morgan is a handyman with tattoos, a motorcycle, and more sex appeal than ten-thousand Hollywood heartthrobs. He’s also an artist who paints at night and hides his work in the light of day, which Chloe knows because she spies on him occasionally. Just the teeniest, tiniest bit.
But when she enlists Red in her mission to rebel, she learns things about him that no spy session could teach her. Like why he clearly resents Chloe’s wealthy background. And why he never shows his art to anyone. And what really lies beneath his rough exterior…
"This is an extraordinary book, full of love, generosity, kindness and sharp humor." — The New York Times Book Review

A breath of fresh air
5By WolfJaiiThis book was honestly like a breath of fresh air. It was a straight forward story about two people with baggage who still chose to love each other and heal each other. Plus the male lead is 🤌🏾🥰 Definitely worth the read!New Favorite Author
5By vperrin650I found this book at the Dollar Tree (with a different cover) and decided to give it a try, and I’m very glad I did. This book was interesting to read and therefore made me actually want to read haha. I think this book is perfect for young adults who want a little romance/fun read. I will definitely be checking out more of Hibbert’s books. Can’t wait!! ;)Slow build and long
4By bria83hThis was a long drawn out story but the good parts were good.AMAZING
5By namu_moonchildI love love love this book 🥰 I saw it in my local bookstore and it was the first time I saw a big women in the cover and I was intrigued and the title caught my eye as well. And when I tell you that as soon as I read it took me two days to finish it because I couldn’t stop 😭 it’s so good and I read every now and then because their relationship is so beautiful and the dynamics of the characters and how they help each other grow is astonishing 🥰 15/10 !!!! Amazing highly recommendedUnbelievable Romance
5By tatyloveslettersI could go on and on about this book. The romance is so real and raw. The way it shows how love isn’t easy and you have to work on it. The love story shows how you have to build with your partner and love your partner. The love of Chloe and Red has to be hands down on of my favorite because it’s not just about love. It’s about how they were willing to love each other no matter the issues and personal things they faced. Chloe didn’t just get a life she got a love that comes one in a lifetime.I looooved this book
5By gotuinyafeelingsThis book was so witty, cheeky, but had the right amounts of romance and.. Spice 😉. Didn’t disappoint and I would recommendIn awe.
5By mariahpropessI love this book dearly. It took me 4 days to finish. I can’t believe I cried!! And smiled and completely adored these two characters. What a cute little love story. Thank you, Talia.took some time
3By Yumm🌟It took some time for me to actually get into this book and even when I did it still was just okay to me. This book was overly hyped in my own opinion but that’s MY opinion . I won’t be reading the other series since it was so difficult for me to get through this one.Cute, but…
3By MissrorohickVery cute story with lots of funny moments, but this isn’t a fav. If I could rate half stars it’s a solid 3.5. Although very descriptive, it seems unnecessarily wordy at times and that sort of bored me. The book started off a little slow, and progressively got better, but again, not a fav.Loved
5By Miranda GamI loved everything about this book. Absolutely amazing. I couldn’t put it downI See Me ♥️
5By GoodGalRieI absolutely love this book! Chloe and Red’s journey to love and acceptance made me laugh, cry, swelled my heart, and most importantly gave me hope for a love like this for myself. As a black woman who has múltiple autoimmune diagnosis, Chloe’s day to day, her fears, and internal dialogue rang so true. It felt amazing to see a heroine that represented who I am ♥️Third person pov
4By kjwtbc98It was a good book. The only thing that kept catching me off guard was the third person point-of-view. It’s different and no seen a lot in this genres so it was refreshing just a little hard to keep up with.Loved it!
5By Leashy BeeI loved this book so much. I read it after I read about the youngest sister Eve in “Act Your Age, Eve Brown” and Talia is consistent in her ability to write well detailed, relatable, steamy, and overall fun love stories. Red and Chloe in this book were equal parts complex, funny, and understandable. I can’t say enough good things and I can’t wait to read more from her!Beautifully Written
5By AndhuckThis book has a way of taking your insecurities and allowing you to bond with a character that walks life just as you do. To read about characters who can go to therapy because they know they need it, or talk to each other about their issues is an important thing to read. Thank you!Quirky & endearing romcom
5By DMS267An original & endearing romcom with quirky, lovable characters.A nice read
3By nani_2121This book was a nice short read my expectations were very high so I am slightly dissatisfied but that doesn’t negate the fact that it was none the less a good book…. Just absolutely adorable.Love!!!!!
5By ckm!Representation is always refreshing. The writing was beautiful and poetic.Refreshing
5By Kendra MayeIt was so refreshing to read a romance about someone who is real. I loved following Chloe along on her journey. I especially appreciated how her body, disability, and skin color were addressed. The author made her a person, one many readers can resonate with. This book shows that no matter the “limitations” society deems you have, you can still be unstoppable.Finally! Romantic, whole representation for chronically ill relationships
5By AnnieproctorLiving with chronic pain is different for everyone, but isolation is a common symptom. This book showed me many of the things I didn’t know I needed to know. FYI PUBLISHERS: I AND MANY OTHERS Would read a million more books with chronically ill leads 💛
