Get a Life, Chloe Brown: A Novel

Written by Talia Hibbert

Narrated by Adjoa Andoh

“Absolutely charming... a flawless balance of humor, heat, sweetness, and depth, and I loved every page.” – Helen Hoang, USA Today bestselling author of The Bride Test

Talia Hibbert, one of contemporary romance’s brightest new stars, delivers a witty, hilarious romantic comedy about a woman who’s tired of being “boring” and recruits her mysterious, sexy neighbor to help her experience new things—perfect for fans of Sally Thorne, Jasmine Guillory, and Helen Hoang!

Chloe Brown is a chronically ill computer geek with a goal, a plan, and a list. After almost—but not quite—dying, she’s come up with seven directives to help her “Get a Life”, and she’s already completed the first: finally moving out of her glamorous family’s mansion. The next items?

• Enjoy a drunken night out.
• Ride a motorcycle.
• Go camping.
• Have meaningless but thoroughly enjoyable sex.
• Travel the world with nothing but hand luggage.
• And... do something bad.

But it’s not easy being bad, even when you’ve written step-by-step guidelines on how to do it correctly. What Chloe needs is a teacher, and she knows just the man for the job.

Redford ‘Red’ Morgan is a handyman with tattoos, a motorcycle, and more sex appeal than ten-thousand Hollywood heartthrobs. He’s also an artist who paints at night and hides his work in the light of day, which Chloe knows because she spies on him occasionally. Just the teeniest, tiniest bit.

But when she enlists Red in her mission to rebel, she learns things about him that no spy session could teach her. Like why he clearly resents Chloe’s wealthy background. And why he never shows his art to anyone. And what really lies beneath his rough exterior…

[Cecelia Donovan · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Love the book, love the audio. The narrator was wonderful.

[Micaelah K · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I loved it! Lovely light and spicy summer read!! Though reader beware: I barely managed to go to sleep last night because I wanted to keep reading!!!

[S K · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Funny and steamy, and the best one in the trilogy imo

[Krystal · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I liked the book in general. The story was good but the voice of the narrator was brutal to listen to. She didn’t know how to do distinct voices without making them shrill and it was just annoying. Good book, poor narration.

[Semella Wade · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Gave me so much encouragement being I have a disability as well...??love it!!!

[Jahnay Lake · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This a cute novel. I must admit that my first attempt at listening to this book was not successful. But I am so glad that I gave the book a second try. Chloe and Red's story incredibly romantic and sweet.

[Emefa Anka · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

One word:UNEXPECTED! I really like Chloe for Red, cuties. I loved that the least talked about gender when it comes to abuse was discussed here. I loved the vulnerability of Red. You shouldn’t be ashamed of talking about a past relationship that was horrible.

[Brandy Schratter · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I am so jealous of how talented Talia Hibbert is. This book was incredible. I loved the sensitive portrayal of Chloe’s chronic illness. And Red is just the perfect romance hero. Gruff exterior with a soft and squishy middle. It was so nice to see these two find their HEA together. I’d highly recommend this book to anyone.

[Sherrie Allard · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Too much swearing. The story itself wasn't bad I probably could have enjoyed it more but it was just the language that really bothered me. I would think if you're intelligent enough to write a book you could write it without using a bunch of low-class words to tell your story. I don't mind a swear word here and there I'm no prude but this was over the top.

[LizzeeC · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

4.5 stars. I thought that the "miscommunication" wasn't at all needed.

[Beckie Hawkins · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Loved this book! The narrator made Chloe sound like she was 60 though which ruined the book a little because I had to keep reminding myself the main characters are, in fact, the same age.

[Jan · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Why would the author select a narrator who sounds like a sixty year old woman who sits by her window all day and gossips about the neighbor?!?! This was a DNF solely because I simply could not deal with the voice. Switching to another app to trying reading the book.

[catalinami198 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

It was so cute and funny and I loved it. I could barely stop smiling. And also, the narrator's voice when she read Red's lines on 2x speed sounded like Tom Holland's for some reason and I had to stop myself from picturing him instead of the character.

[Savannah · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Solid writing and I love a story where men fall hard and feel the need to act typical about it. Would be dive starts if the voice actress didn't remind me so strongly of a frail old woman. Hard to submerse myself when the audio wasn't giving young, just sassy.

[Maja Zu · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I was so hooked on the witty dialogue and the lovable characters, I can't wait to read the rest of the series!

[Elodie Pedroso · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Good book but awful narration. The dialogues were so bad… makes me sad because I feel like I didn’t enjoy the book to the fullest because of it. Hope the narrator of the 2 next books is better.

[Megan Denise Robinson · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

One of the best romcoms in existence and one of my favorite contemporary romances ever written.

[Charlotte Weme · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I absolutely loved this book! Very easy to listen to for those who doesn't listen to much audiobooks!

[Abigail Lenz · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Amazing read. Relatable lovable characters. 10/10 recommend! I'm going to be purchasing the physical copy because it's that amazing.

[Jennifer Greenlees · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I loved this book! I liked Chloe and loved Red! This book was so steamy! I loved it!

I'm glad Chloe and Red got back together in the end.

Adjoa Andoh did a really fantastic job performing this story! I thoroughly enjoyed her narration.

I read this book on May 22-23, 2022.

[Cristina Hughes · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

the narrator was not my favorite, especially her red voice.

[Michele Blanchette · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This was fun, witty, and sexy! Definitely a 4 star for a rom com.

[FrankaNeka · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Very witty, good narration. Quick and fun read! Loved it!

[Amy McDougal · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I loved this book. I could relate to Chloe in so many ways.  The romance was sweet. The story really shows you how not to judge a book by it's cover.

[P0nk o · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I really liked this one. Chloe especially was such an enjoyable character to engage with and I would definitely read it again!

[Ekene Ogbue · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I knew there was a surprise why I considered this a favorite of 2020. Because it's so insanely insanely sweet. And cute. And funny

Recommend again & again & AGAIN
