2021: Yes, yes, yes this romance novel definitely did it for me!

Very steamy, yay British men *swoon*, also this incredible glamping scene with the twinkle lights, oh my, it was nearly perfect and so lovely. There were one too many "will they, won't they" passages (it's a romance novel. We know they will. Let's get on with it) but I was very willing to forgive all of them for the eventual payoff.

On top of all of that - this was a lovely plot with reasonably well developed characters! Incredible! Loved the meet-cute between Chloe & Red, and I really enjoyed Chloe's nerdy perspective. Red was complex and charming and completely infatuated with Chloe (which never hurts) and his little British phrases were so sweet! He loved Chloe's mind and her body equally and that was a joy to read.

Lastly, but perhaps most important of all, this was an own voices novel from a Black British women who is also chronically ill. Did I expect to learn many things from this book? Not in the slightest! I thought it was be 100% fun and light and airy. But the real-life elements, and the grounding of the sexy scenes in actual, plausible situations was a big win for me. Hibbert perfectly straddled the line between informing her readers what it's like living with chronic illness, and still showing off a damn good time!
