Agent: Courtney Miller-Callihan, Handspun Literary. This contemporary is a page-turning winner. Best of all, the romance is sizzling hot. Both characters need to change their lives and stand up for themselves, and readers will find them inspiring. Chloe is a fantastic heroine with a refreshing voice she’s understandably prickly given all she goes through as a black, overweight, disabled woman, but that edge doesn’t make her any less endearing to Red or the reader. It’s quickly clear that the question isn’t whether they’ll get together but whether they can overcome their past traumas to turn their fling into something that will last. Their relationship begins antagonistically, but the more time they spend together, with Red coaching Chloe through her list, the more sparks fly.

Enter her new building superintendent, Redford “Red” Morgan, a tough guy with a heart of gold and a hidden artistic talent. Most of all, with Get A Life, Chloe Brown Talia Hibbert has written a positive, perhaps even liberating, love story of a Black woman living with chronic pain. Realizing life’s too short for her to settle for her boring routine, she creates a list of ways to change her life-starting with moving out of her family’s home and into her own apartment, and working up to traveling the world-but discovers that she needs a little push to follow through. Talia Hibbert writes about serious issues of chronic pain and emotional abuse with sensitivity and honesty.

The enemies-to-lovers trope is as popular as it is complicated to adore. Chloe, living but not thriving in present-day England, is on her daily walk when a car just misses crashing into her. Get A Life, Chloe Brown, by Talia Hibbert, is about two people projecting their own insecurities onto one another until they actually have a real and true conversation and start falling madly in love with each other. Chronically ill Chloe Brown’s near-death experience is the catalyst for a thrilling, life-altering adventure that will keep readers riveted.
