Get a Life, Chloe Brown: Entertainment Weekly, Plus Everything Else You Need to Know

March 25, 2019 by Talia 6 Comments

Hola, friends!

Since this is my website, I feel like it’s supposed to be a sort of… Talia-central. You know, with all relevant events neatly catalogued for your convenience. So, here’s an event and a half: the cover for my first book with Avon, Get a Life, Chloe Brown, has been revealed. And by none other than Entertainment Weekly!

EW were kind enough to interview me about the book, as well as revealing the cover. If you’re interested in reading that, check it out here.

So… what do you need to know about Get a Life, Chloe Brown?

Get a Life, Chloe Brown, an interracial romcom

Chloe is chronically ill.

The titular heroine, Chloe Brown, suffers from fibromyalgia. If you’re unaware, fibromyalgia causes – amongst other things – chronic pain and chronic fatigue. Since I have fibro, too, this is #ownvoices rep.

This book is not inspiration porn.

Chloe’s life story isn’t a tragedy; it’s a romcom with a wonderful HEA and lots of witty, sexy moments. She doesn’t die at the end so the hero can be ‘free’. Her suffering doesn’t teach him a lesson about what it really means to be alive. They snark at each other, fall in love, and have excellent sex. Dassit.

There is a cat.

You see him up there, right? Yeah. He’s a fun time. Kind of rude, kind of grumpy, but then, so is Chloe.

The hero is a survivor.

Redford ‘Red’ Morgan is a precious baby angel who’s just trying his best. At first, he hates Chloe a little bit, but he has his reasons. Once he figures out that she’s secretly a big softie, he warms to her. A lot. I mean, a lot. Is it getting hot in here?

There are tons of lists.

Chloe can’t really function without them. She likes to be in control. So, obviously, everything she does goes completely to plan… until Red.

Get a Life, Chloe Brown will be out in November 2019. But you can pre-order it now!

    Your book was my pick for this month’s book club. Enjoyed it very much, thank you! Do you have a question or more on what you would want people to discuss about your book? Our discussion is next week. Thanks in advance!

      That is so lovely to hear! Thank you to the club for picking Chloe Brown! In terms of discussion questions, perhaps something like: What role do you think the politics of desire (in terms of Chloe’s identity as a plus-sized, disabled black woman) plays in this novel? Or alternatively, How is Red’s relationship with Chloe not only healthier than his previous relationship, but a safe space for him to heal and grow? Just some ideas!

The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen is out today and it is a serious banger. This book shot directly into my KJ Charles Top 3 (alongside Any Old Diamonds and An Unsuitable Heir, obviously). It has: 

- secret identities!

- hot Kentish smugglers!!

- so much delicious “he’s powerful and dangerous and on my side” energy!

- also “I’m just a daft sad boi with abandonment issues rambling around the countryside” energy!

- super saucy witness intimidation!!!

And more! 

KJ is one of my absolute favourite romance authors and this book encapsulates all the reasons why. Enjoy 😘

If you’re wondering what I put in my newsletters, the short answer is: chaos. The long answer: what I’ve written, what I’m reading (Casey McQuiston, amongst other things) and little anecdotes like this: 

My fiancé and I moved house this summer, and our new bedroom overlooks the garden. This was lovely when 'garden' meant 'nice rectangle full of flowers', but as winter descended and the flowers met a frosty end, I enjoyed it less.

Since I try to monitor my mental health, I made note of how this transformation changed my mood. Clearly, I realised, flowers cause Good Chemicals in my brain. Maybe I should put some flowers in my bedroom while there were none outside?

Um, no, Talia. That would be silly and extravagant and wasteful. There's no space in your small bedroom for that, and anyway, cut flowers don’t last, so there's no reason to have them in the first place.

Then I reminded myself that everything ends, and the 'experience' part that comes before is sort of... the whole point? 

So I tried something. 

I found a tiny vase, one that would take up no more space on my bedside table than a large mug. Next, I went to the local florist and asked for a single stem of little pink roses, and a single stem of baby's breath.

I cut them up and popped them in the vase. I was instantly delighted. This delight lasted about a week before they shrivelled, at which point I felt quite sad. Then I experienced the singular pleasure of fixing my own sadness on purpose by going out and buying tiny flowers again.

I've been doing this for over two months and it's still working! Sometimes I change up the flowers. My favourite combo right now is two big round-type blooms plus baby's breath. 

But my favourite combo isn't the point. The point is this: it's so easy to feel like small, frivolous pleasures aren't worth pursuing. But what is living for, if not enjoyment? Why do you exist, if not to strive for happiness?

Do the thing. Be nice to yourself on purpose. If your feelings didn't matter, you wouldn't have them.

If you’re already a VIP, drop me a 🫖 emoji. If you aren’t on the list, drop me a 💐… and check my site to join us 💘

Happy Love Day, gang! I’m still in my “new year new me” era so I voluntarily left the house this month and it went quite well. I even found a few delights to show you: Dani & Zaf at my favourite library, a table of Brad & Celine at my local Waterstones, and some truly fantastic changing room graffiti. As you can probably tell, all this pleases me greatly.

Another thing that pleases me is how well #HSaUC fits the V Day aesthetic. Perfect. Chef’s kiss. What’s making you feel pink and sparkly lately? Let me know 💖
