A Guide to Being Just Friends is a sweet and charming contemporary romance. Honestly didn’t realize this was part of the series, but this felt like a standalone. This series is surrounded around the handsome Jansen Brothers with this one being all about Wes. He’s upright, analytical and afraid of falling in love. Which he then becomes conflicted along the way as he meets a beautiful, fun and bubbly new to town Hailey. They meet during a fun meet cute moment and decide to continue as friends, but the more time spent with one another it’s harder to keep the friendship pact. I always do enjoy a friends to lovers, but this one was definitely a slow burn. This was fun and an easy read I would definitely consider going back and read the other 2 in the series. Thank you Netgalley and St. Martins press for a copy of this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
A Guide To Being Just Friends is a romantic friends to lovers read. It has everything to keep a romantic book flowing and enjoyable. Strangers meet and have the immediate eye (heart) connection that leaves them both wanting more. Neither party willing to open their hearts/minds for more than friendship so they pack a deal. Dual POV (my fave), humor, bantering, that will keep you reading just one more chapter. I had No idea this was a series about the Jansen brothers. Therefore a stand alone but has me standing in line to purchase the first two reads. Strong female lead character but not the woke female strong. Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for ARC in exchange for my review.
Okay it had another climax. But all is well!!

1.5 rounded up. Read the first chapter, and you’ll pretty much have the gist of the entire book.
This book had the potential of being an easy read and it turned out to be the equivalent of nails on chalkboard with all the stereotypical LA life that you can think of.

I didn’t realize this was the third in the series until about half way through the book. OOPS.
