About this listen

When people-pleasing Chloe learns that her birth mother has unexpectedly had another baby, she doesn't hesitate to become a next-of-kin guardian. But when she fails to pass Child Protective Services' financial evaluation, she is faced with a choice: see her baby sister placed in foster care or participate in CPS' new initiative, TeamUp.

Enter Warren, a surly mechanic's apprentice attempting to get custody of his deaf fifteen-year-old brother after failing CPS' housing evaluation. The two strangers immediately clash but agree to live together until Warren can find housing elsewhere and Chloe can further grow her freelance career.

As their lives intertwine, Chloe and Warren both realize that they're far more similar than they could have imagined. What started as forced begins to feel natural—and far less lonely. Chemistry soon intensifies beyond what either of them can stand, but they must each decide if what burns between them is worth risking their arrangement.

With banter, heart, and steam that will have the listener blushing, Next of Kin is a true underdog story of two young adults redefining what family can look like.

Cheesy with a touch of darkness

The relationship felt a little rushed, not every romantic story needs to end in a marriage. I liked the cheesiness but it's not for everyone. I was concerned how the end was going to go but Chloe being real with Warren about the situation and calling him out on his behaviour was good.
I wasn't bothered about just mentioning the mental health stuff here because this was supposed to be cheesy and cute with a touch of dark. I do wish it was talked about a little more, like Warren going to therapy and using what he learns to cope better with tough situations but the idea of losing his brother made the coping skills not work or something.
I liked it but it was missing a few things for me.
