Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert

by 1 Comment

It’s been a while since I read a romance, and this was a great way to return to the genre. Chloe Brown has a near death experience that leads her to re-evaluating her life. She thinks she’s boring, so she comes up with a list of things that she thinks will help make her braver and more interesting. This process starts with her moving out of her parents’ house and into an apartment, where she meets Red Morgan, the superintendent. Red is an artist who’s […]

The Princess Trap by Talia Hibbert

by Leave a Comment

Not my fave of hers but still cute. Having a little trouble coming up with anything to say because this is so solidly in the ‘just fine’ category in my mind, which is unusual for a Talia Hibbert. Usually if nothing else, her narrative voice pulls me through and gives the book a boost. This book follows Cherry and Ruben. Cherry is working for a corporate academy school, and Ruben is a prince of a made up country I can’t remember the name of. He […]

Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute by Talia Hibbert

If you love Talia Hibbert and you love YA novels, you’re going to love this book. If you love fun YA novels,  you are going to be obsessed with this. If you love Talia Hibbert and you hate YA novels with a fiery passion, you are going to be okay anyway. I fall into the latter category, just so my biases are front and centre for ya. Plot: Celine is an overachieving nerd with a goal of becoming a kickass corporate lawyer so she could […]

Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute by Talia Hibbert

by Leave a Comment

I have read Talia Hibbert’s Brown Sisters trilogy and found it adorable, but that was very much an adult series. I was interested to see what she would do with a YA book, so when I saw the CBR Book Club was reading this, I picked up a copy. Bradley and Celine were childhood best friends. Then he got popular, and she got…weird. He wanted to make friends and join the soccer team and she wanted to make a podcast about conspiracy theories. Now they […]

Just FYI, I do not want to write this review. I’m feeling real cranky but I need to catch up on reviews, and it just so happens that I have to write a review for this book that was just a perfect little YA romance that I don’t have much to say about (this may change as I type), so I’m just basically starting this review by stream-of-conscious word vomiting to try to get the thoughts flowing because I read this back in fEbRuArY. Oh, […]
