lane's character makes me feel so seen somehow, i understand all her self doubts and anxiety and know how sucks they felt :( but well the difference is that i don't have the tall long-haired bearded tattooed soft spoken biggest softie reader no social media good with mechanics and words and everything else matt, literally, how can anyone be any more PERFECT than this man??
idk what magic hannah puts in her books that makes me always tugs at emotions but i absolutely loved it.
and last of all, LONG LIVE FRIENDS TO LOVERS !!!

- he falls first and harddd
- found family + reconnecting
- sweetheart x sweetheart
- bi mc (and it not only being mentioned once)
- 'imperfect' characters
- mental health/personal growth
- the smooth switch between cute, spicy and deep
Could have had a few more scenes of them acting couple-y but not actually dating outside or one of the them watching movies together which was kind of their thing but only tell no show and the entire them becoming/being friends part was just completely left out...so sadly just some 'vibes' were missing.
Spice (quality&quantity):
2.75/5
not that frequent and not that detailed but really focusing on the connection between the characters involved which made it hot (we also love a man who

Just finished Next To You, the novel after Next Of Kin that intertwines some characters but also stands alone.
The story of Lane and Matt charmed me just as much as that of Chloe and Warren. The building of relationships and emotion among realistically flawed characters, just pulls a reader in. Some steamy spice doesn't hurt either.
Lane's character experiencing the long-supressed feelings of guilt related to the loss of her father adds depth. (No tears here. Nope!)
Recommended!
