Act Your Age, Eve Brown
Act Your Age, Eve Brown is the third novel in Talia Hibbert's bestselling Brown Sisters trilogy, published in 2021 after Get a Life, Chloe Brown and Take a Hint, Dani Brown. Eve Brown is the youngest, the wildest, and the most directionless of the three Brown sisters, a wealthy young Londoner whose latest catered-wedding disaster has pushed her parents to cut her off until she finds a real job and keeps it. On the run up the M1 in her hot-pink Mini, she answers a chef's-job ad for a small Lake District bed-and-breakfast called Castell Cottage and arrives just in time to put her car on the foot of the inn's owner, the rigid, beautiful, neurodivergent Jacob Wayne. Jacob has broken his hand and his ankle, he is hosting an industry showcase in two weeks, and the only person within driving distance willing to step in as chef is the young woman who has just hospitalized him. Hibbert writes both Eve and Jacob as autistic characters with confident detail.
