 The Next Best Fling was such a fun debut! It is best friends brother, fake dating turned no strings attached goodness. It features a plus size librarian FMC, and an ex footballer player MMC. There is Latinx (own voices) rep, and the plus size rep was done so well. It is so swoony, a little messy (in a good way) and is open door. I can not wait for the next book in this series!

A really good debut. Balances typical contemporary romance with some deeper character growth. Felt easy to root for the MCs and an easy and quick, enjoyable read.

To much miscommunication in this one for my taste. Everyone was so wishy washy

I wanted to like this book, but it had several things I don’t really like: an insecure/indecisive FMC and a love quadrangle.  I couldn’t believe she had existed in this limbo for nine years. That seems implausible.
