I thought I was going to love this, but the fmc was acting like a teenager and she was getting under my skin. She had this wonderful man right in front of her, but was so caught up in the drama with the boy she’s bad on the back burner since college. Theo was everything and I only wish that she got her head out of her ass a long time ago.
I respectfully DNF at 10%/ after chapter 3.
I'm not proud of myself to give up so early, but I just can't.
I already had a weird feeling during the first chapter, but thought that I just needed to give it some time.
Well, what can I say.
The FMC is pining after her best friend, who is now engaged to another mutual friend. She has been in love with him for 8 (!) years and still has some sort of hope (?).
I feel like I read her whining and pity herself nonstop during those chapters.
There's also this constant thought that Alice (her best friend's fiancée) is planing something behind her back?
And don't get me started on that weird love triangle, or as someone else said love quartett, because that just took a really weird turn for me.
On top of that, there's was something in the writing, especially the way the FMC talks about other characters, that didn't work for me.
This book is surely for someone, but that someone is not me.

EVERYONE but Angelica in this book is aweful.
Marcela needs a back bone and to be more honest with herself and others.
Theo is a user of people and needs serious help with handling big feelings.
Ben is a manipulator.
Alice was wrong to keep pushing the brothers to reconcile out of guilt for her own actions.
I get what the author was trying to do, it just didn't work for me.
The only thing I liked about the book was Marcelas approach to her body. Sometimes you like how you look, and sometimes you don't.

What an entertaining book this was! If you're a fan of drama, pining, and tension, you won't want to miss The Next Best Fling!
I laughed, I was frustrated, and this book had me on a rollercoaster of emotions. I hated Ben with a passion. I loved Theo and Marcela and was rooting for them the whole time.

Fake dating. Best friends brother. Unexpected love.
I loved all of it.
I loved all of the representation in this book.
I loved the librarian story line.
The banter. The spice. The slow burn.
My first time reading Gabriella Gamez and not my last.
