Act Your Age, Eve Brown

So, I'm so backwards here. I've been wanting to check out the Brown Sisters books for a while, but I just kept putting them off. But for some reason, I REALLY wanted to read Eve's book. For some reason, this was the one that wouldn't let me NOT read it. So I bought it at Half Price and read it immediately. And...

It was SO CUTE. So PRECIOUS. So FUNNY.

Eve, the youngest, is basically being cut off from her trust fund because she can't hold down a job. She feels like a failure all the time. In a pique, she runs away from home and ends up in the Lake District, interviewing for a job wildly unprepared, gets insulted and refused by the B&B proprietor interviewing her; and then, after interviewer bestie tells him he's an ass, she runs over the proprietor who is coming to give her a trial run for the job. She runs into him, really, by accident. Because Eve isn't the best driver.

She ends up cooking for the B&B, because the proprietor, Jacob, is injured and desperate for a chef. Which she can do. Which she's really good at doing. And they fall in love.

This is kinda enemies-to-lovers, miscommunication tropiness. It's funny and very sexy and perfectly adorable. Eve is undiagnosed but probably on the spectrum; Jacob, who IS diagnosed, clues her in, once they begin to have a fondness for each other.

I probably shouldn't try to do reviews at work; I realize this is disjointed. But this book was honestly so delightfully adorable, it made me so very happy when I read it, that I cannot wait to read the other two books in the series. And Eve and Jacob are precious, precious babies.
