Why read it?

2 authors picked Act Your Age, Eve Brown as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Grumpy/Sunshine is one of my favorite romance tropes, and this book does it absolutely perfectly. The chemistry between the main characters had me kicking my feet and squealing the entire time.

Talia Hibbert’s books, especially this one, just make me smile. They bring me so much joy and are funny, sweet, sexy, and oh so swoon-worthy. I’m also obsessed with the idea of running an adorable bed and breakfast, and I love seeing neurodivergence and autism spectrum being portrayed in literature in a more nuanced and positive way.

The banter is top-notch, and the relationship is one of my favorites…

From Alex's list on young, Black, and all together.

I am a huge fan of opposites attract, and this book didn’t disappoint. Eve is what her friends and family call flakey, changing jobs every few months, searching for a place to belong. Jacob knows exactly what he wants and will follow his life plan stringently until Eve crashes into his life. They start out as enemies, then become lovers – another favorite of mine.

Besides the fun banter and excellent pacing, I adore how the author has main characters that were on the autism spectrum- one who knew and another who discovered during the story. One of the reasons…
