Although I love the premise of BFF-turned-lovers, this is quite not as good as the first installment.
Happy Charlie is long-time friends with dour, commitment-phobe Misha. They've been best friends forever that they don't even consider each other as potential partners but everyone else around them does.
The trademark Morton wit is still there in the narrative and dialogue, but when the light bulb turns on after 20 years of friendship, the two MCs don't know how to deal aside from having copious amount of sex.
Secondary and tertiary characters are cute, but the abundance of name-dropping is not. I got tired of googling references after the third one popped up.

By far one of the best childhood friends to lovers books i’ve ever read.
It was just SO SO sweet and everything i look for in a friends to lovers book.
The characters were incredibly likable & beautifully written. Their banter was fun & their chemistry was undeniable and i just couldn’t get enough.
Im just a mood reader so sometimes it’s hard for me to find a book that just hits the spot and ticks all the boxes im in the mood for and this book was everything i was looking for.
It had just the right balance of fluff, angst & smut for the occasion & and characters didn’t feel artificial or bland.
This book just warmed my heart just the way i needed it to
