exorcismemily's review against another edition

3.0

"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!

This book follows Chloe Brown, SEO/web designer, and chronically ill with fibromyalgia. After a near death experience, Chloe decides that when death finally does come for her, she will have made her life more meaningful. And she does this by making what is essentially a baby bucket list.

The superintendent in Chloe's building and Chloe have never gotten along, but upon Chloe saving a cat, and the superintendent (Red) saving Chloe, they begin to get to know each other better. And then Chloe has a proposition for him: help her complete her list, and she'll help him make a site for his art (he's an artist).

This book was alright. I liked that Chloe was chronically ill; it was a more diverse POV that I don't see a lot in literature. I liked that Red was so sweet and devoted to Chloe. I liked the baby enemies-to-lovers trope. But there wasn't anything that really wowed me about this book, hence the three star rating, nor did it captivate me enough to read the rest of the series.
