4 estrellas.
Qué bonito.
Me gustó mucho la historia, los personajes y, en este caso, la representación tan buena que hace de una enfermedad como la fibromialgia.
La historia es bastante simple. Chloe, después de una experiencia cercana a la muerte, decide conseguir una vida (de ahí el título, ingenioso, eh?). La idea me pareció superchula, sobretodo teniendo en cuenta que nos van desvelando el motivo del porqué quiere hacer cierta cosa. Además creo que entre capítulo y capítulo, la historia fluye sin ningún tipo de problema.
Hablando de los personajes.
Las tres hermanas (Chloe, Dani e Eve), cada una de ellas tiene su propio libro, me encantan. Me parecen han parecido tan extravagantes, agradables y tan graciosas que seguramente me lea sus historias entre libro y libro.
Chloe, como ya mencioné es la protagonista de nuestra historia. Padece de fibromialgia, y he de decir que me encantó cómo estaba retratada, tanto en aspectos físicos como mentales.
Red, el interés amoroso. Tengo debilidad cuando ellos están locos por ellas, y el estaba para meterlo a un psiquiátrico.
La única pega que puedo poner fue un momento de falta de comunicación que no le vi el chiste.
En general una lectura muy amena y divertida.

I loved that this story had a new and interesting heroine. Chloe has a chronic illness that people can't see from the outside but it affects her everyday life. some days she is too tired to leave the house, shower, or cook. Those days she stays inside and works as a computer programmer. On a trip outside, she has a close call and decides to make a list to get a life. Things that will challenge and push her to get out of her comfort zone.
On one of those trips, she finds a cat in a tree and tries to rescue the cat. That is when she meets Red, an artist working as a superintendent at the same complex Chloe is living. Red does like Chloe, she is cold and standoffish with him. However, when he sees her in the tree trying to rescue the cat, he sees another side to her. Realizing they both have their quirks and baggage from the past. They form an unlikely friendship and realize they have more in common than they thought.
Both characters were well developed, you felt for them both as they worked through their past hurts, to try and move forward.
I received a free copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

"She had not yet transformed her life, but she was in the process of doing so."
I loved the character of Chloe Brown! She was relatable and fun. I had a harder time getting on board with Red - he had some odd scenes, and I didn't really love them together. For some reason, I didn't care for the way the book would flip back and forth between how they saw each other, and then what they felt inside. I think I would have enjoyed it more just from Chloe's POV, or if the book was just about her, or her and her sisters.
Their relationship moved way too fast (emotionally) for it to be believable for me. I found myself rolling my eyes a few times in the second half of the book. All of the characters were constantly described as saying everything "dryly", and I wish there would have been other descriptions.
Although I struggled with some things on this one, I am planning to read the next book about Chloe's sister Eve when it comes out. I would love to read more about their family!
