Get A Life, Chloe Brown: discovered on TikTok! The perfect feel good romance
Autor Talia Hibberten Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 noi 2019
Ce ai face dacă ai primi o a doua șansă la viață, dar corpul tău ar continua să îți impună limite fizice stricte? În Get a Life, Chloe Brown, descoperim o abordare revigorantă a genului romantic, unde vulnerabilitatea nu este un obstacol, ci motorul unei transformări profunde. Chloe Brown, o programatoare care trăiește cu o boală cronică, decide că a fost „plictisitoare” pentru prea mult timp. Planul ei este unul pragmatic: o listă de experiențe menite să o scoată din zona de confort, de la nopți de beție la „fapte rele”.
Observăm aici o dinamică fascinantă de tip opposites-attract dublată de o tensiune inițială ce amintește de tropul enemies-to-lovers. Redford „Red” Morgan, vecinul său tatuat și plin de carismă, devine ghidul ei în această aventură a rebeliunii. Cei care au parcurs Act Your Age, Eve Brown de Talia Hibbert vor fi pregătiți pentru umorul tăios, dar și pentru căldura cu care autoarea își tratează personajele marginalizate. Stilul este efervescent și plin de sarcasm britanic, însă sub stratul de comedie romantică se ascunde o explorare onestă a traumei și a izolării.
Spre deosebire de alte romane de gen, Get a Life, Chloe Brown nu fuge de realitățile durerii fizice sau ale barierelor sociale. Relația dintre Chloe și Red se construiește pe încredere și pe dezvăluirea treptată a secretelor — el este un artist care se teme de expunere, ea este o femeie care învață să ceară ajutor fără să se simtă inferioară. Este un echilibru perfect între momente senzuale și profunzime emoțională, confirmând vocea unică a autoarei în peisajul literar contemporan.

Recenzii
With wit, biting humour and moments of extreme poignancy, Talia Hibbert brings to life a heroine whose courage and tenacity leaps off the page... Get A Life, Chloe Brown is funny, sexy, and intensely romantic, highly recommended for any contemporary romance reader, but especially for the many of us who, like Chloe, navigate life through the lens and under the weight of an invisible illness
A pure exuberant delight. I loved this book... It's also hilarious - Chloe in particular has a gloriously sardonic perception of the world - and it bounces along, and it will just make you feel better. Exactly what a romance should be
I just finished Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert. My heart is full, and my pants are full of pants feeling for one Triumph-riding, painter, ginger named Red. So so so so good

Poised to be a hit. This book distinguishes itself from the many other smart and sexy rom-coms of late by weaving in a discussion about chronic illness
Sometimes a book can change your life. It can turn you upside down and shake everything up and spit you back out with all your bits and bobs rearranged to give you a more complete picture of yourself than you've ever had before. That was my experience reading Get a Life, Chloe Brown. ... Hibbert's novel is a life-affirming, soul-searching, beautiful gem of a book that should be required reading for anyone in search of their own happily-ever-after. It's a resounding, triumphant testament to the power of healing, the beauty of love, and the essential nature of compassion. May we all get a life, and a love, like Chloe Brown
Talia Hibbert shows how standard romance tropes - misunderstandings, meddling sisters, a steamy camping trip - can be elevated to sublime pleasure in the hands of a brilliant writer. Everything about Chloe and Red's story feels honest, specific and real. And magical, even when real-life concerns like chronic illness can never fade away. This is an extraordinary book, full of love, generosity, kindness and sharp humour
Unbelievably sexy, incredibly honest. I loved this heroine so, so much. She is real, different, and wonderful
This feel-good romance will introduce you to Chloe Brown and her amazing list
'Funny, sexy and intensely romantic' Lucy Parker, author of The Austen Playbook
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 a list of directives to help her 'Get a Life':
- 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 out step-by-step guidelines. What Chloe needs is a teacher, and she knows just the man for the job: Redford 'Red' Morgan.
With tattoos and a motorbike, Red is the perfect helper in her mission to rebel, but as they spend more time together, Chloe realises there's much more to him than his tough exterior implies. Soon she's left wanting more from him than she ever expected . . . maybe there's more to life than her list ever imagined?

Textul de pe ultima copertă
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 glamourous 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.
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…
