Get a Life, Chloe Brown: A Novel (The Brown Sisters, 1) by Talia Hibbert

• Opposites attract • grumpy/sunshine-ish • “help me complete my list” • neighbors-to-lovers • chronic illness rep • funny, sexy, heartfelt
  A witty, feel-good rom-com about taking your life back—messy, joyful parts included—and falling for the one person who sees straight through your carefully curated plans. Get a Life, Chloe Brown balances laugh-out-loud banter and real emotional depth, with a heroine who’s chronically ill, brilliantly competent, and tired of being treated like she’s fragile (or boring).

  The vibe

  Chloe Brown is a chronically ill computer geek with a goal, a plan, and—most importantly—a list. After almost (but not quite) dying, she decides it’s time to actually live, not just manage. She’s already nailed step one: moving out of her glamorous family’s mansion. Now she’s got seven directives to “Get a Life,” including: get drunk, ride a motorcycle, go camping, have meaningless-but-fun sex, travel light, and do something bad.
  The problem is: Chloe is very bad at being bad, even with step-by-step instructions. What she needs is a teacher—enter her mysterious, sexy neighbor.
  Redford “Red” Morgan is a tattooed handyman with a motorcycle and a whole lot of sex appeal. He’s also a secret artist who paints at night and hides his work by day (Chloe knows… because she spies on him a little. Just a tiny bit). When Chloe recruits Red to help her complete her list, their deal turns into something deeper—especially as Chloe starts to understand why Red resents her wealthy background, why he keeps his art hidden, and what’s really under his rough exterior.
