I’ve come to realize recently that I am actually quite taken with romance novels. Previously, I figured that they were pointless and romance was best as a plot point in a high fantasy novel to be explored in depth but never take over the main plot. However, I read like six romance novels in a week and now I love them.
Three of these books were the phenomenal Brown Sisters Trilogy by Talia Hibbert. I had held off for a while because something about an adult romance with an illustrated cover scared me off, but damn.
The trilogy follows three Black, plus size sisters in their journeys to find lasting romance, starting with the oldest, Chloe, then Dani, then Eve. They all also have other bits of representation: Chloe deals with chronic pain, Dani is bisexual, and Eve’s is a bit more of a mystery for most of the book so I won’t share.
I mainly read the series because I wanted to get to Dani’s book because as I might’ve mentioned on this blog before, I’m kind of in love with the fake dating trope. However, I fell in love with all three books immediately and they’re definitely new favorites. Really quickly, here are my star ratings for them:
Get a Life, Chloe Brown: 4⭐️
Take a Hint, Dani Brown: 4.75⭐️
Act Your Age, Eve Brown: 5⭐️
Some other stats:
Favorite Book: Act Your Age, Eve Brown
Favorite Sister: Dani
Favorite Love Interest: Zaf
(I do love Chloe, she just seemed so much more stable than the other two and I love chaos.)
These books are stories of healthy, wholesome romance where romance complements the characters and doesn’t “complete” them, which I love. The characters never have to change for someone else, they find love interests who love them for who they are.
Basically, I’m fully in love with this series. I read each of the books in a total of a few hours, and I have no regrets.
READ THE BROWN SISTERS TRILOGY BY TALIA HIBBERT FOR HEALTHY ROMANCE AND POSITIVE REPRESENTATION!!!
