Act Your Age, Eve Brown: A Novel

Act Your Age, Eve Brown was absolutely wonderful! It was hilariously snarky, heartfelt, emotional, and so, so sexy! The enemies to lovers vibe was done so well and I loved how Eve and Jacob went toe to toe and gave as good as they got. They were so adorably and unapologetically themselves with each other and saw through all the bluster and barbs to see the vulnerable human underneath. I laughed so hard while reading and listening to this one and didn't want to ever put it down. The narration by Ione Butler was incredible again and her comedic timing was perfection. She delivered all the snark with ease and oh my did she nail those sexy times. *fans self* I am always a fan of the no nonsense starchy hero (thank you to my good friend Jessica for that perfect term) who is an absolute cinnamon roll underneath. Jacob and Eve were the quintessential grump + sunshine, but also so much more. My heart hurt for them as they revealed their pasts and fears and it made complete sense why they made the decisions that they did. The ending left me smiling ear to ear, but also a little sad that it was over. I have thoroughly enjoyed all the books in The Brown Sisters series and loved seeing Chloe, Red, Dani, and Zaf again. Special shoutout to Gigi for being the absolute best and stealing the show every time she was on the page. I'm hopeful that this won't be the last time we see them. I loved Alex, Tessa, and Eric (Mont) so much and would love to see a series for the Montrose siblings in the future. Talia Hibbert is fast becoming one of my favorite authors and I can't recommend this book (and series) enough! Audiobook Review Overall 5 stars Performance 5+ stars Story 5 stars CW: childhood neglect and anti autistic ableism *I voluntarily read and listened to an advance review copy of this book*

This is hilarious. Eve is very optimistic, straight-forward, very compassionate and looking out for her fit. Her career adventures have been quite thrilling but fizzled her out. Since her parents are feed up with her fickle career ways she is able to discovery what she loves to do. Jacob is the exact opposite. Their friction is practical as they handle the business and get to know one another. The romance is sweet and steamy. I was able to borrow the audiobook from my local library and the narrator did well. I love this series and the Brown sisters, as an adult, some of the language was cringeworthy.

I enjoyed this book. It was clever and fun. The characters were lovable and and the romance swoon worthy and cute. The chemistry and humor are bubbly and effervescent. I loved it!! This is my frank, freely posted review.
