4.0

I enjoyed this book, not as much as the previous one though. I enjoyed the romance and the family dynamics but I feel like there was a lot of emotional processing that attempted to fit within 350 pages.

3,75 I definitely liked this one better than the last. It wasn’t as cringey but definitely still cringey. I feel like these books are my trashy rom-com era. I don’t usually like friends to lovers, but I did like this one because

they definitely liked each other a little when they met but were good friends anyway and stayed like that for a year and a half.

I think friends to lovers bothers me more when they’ve been friends for a WHILE. 

Also this quote KILLED me

“Mack snorted at Malcolm. ‘What would you say is your pet peeve about poorly crafted romance novels?’ Malcolm crossed his arms. ‘That would be when two adult characters avoid having a grown-up conversation that could change the course of the story’”.

 I think Noah might be my favorite Bromance book club guy. I listened to this one and the last on audiobook and sometimes the girl voices were weird but I got used to it quickly, but it would throw me off to go from a Noah POV chapter to an Alexis POV
