Really cute read. I was entertained the whole way through. I loved that Sadie was more the grumpy and Denver the sunshine. Likable characters that made me want to keep reading the series.

I already loved this series but I really, really love Sadie and Denver. Their banter is top notch, chemistry fantastic, the love story so sweet, and it is just so funny. I just kept literally laughing out loud.
Things I Loved:
-Carmen
-Quoting P&P
-“Ah, Carpool.”
-Nitro
-Dodgeball
-“Shut up, Rob,”
-Hostage exchange
-“How I could be so irritated and yet so attracted to her all the time? ALL THE TIME.”
-Accidental sleepover
-Isaac
-Lips of Sauron
-THE ALMOST KISS
-First Kiss
-Mustache
-“Talking to him about my fears was easy. Admitting my hope was a whole other level of vulnerable.”
-“I’m not sick of you yet.”
-Denver reunion
-“Ready for me to be blunt?” “Always.”
The progression from Not Friends, to friends, to more was so good. Then you add in the workplace romance situation and a touch of fake dating—I’m telling you, it’s a combo you do not want to miss! You can read this as a stand-alone but the little touches from the previous books were just perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and cannot wait for the next!

Not Friends is a sweet rom com between Sadie and Denver. Sadie and Denver don’t see eye to eye and haven’t since when Sadie (and Jenny) were Denver’s temporary roommates. Now Sadie and Denver both have new jobs at the same company and are paired up together. Denver is a secret BFF for the company and to help maintain his cover Sadie pretends to be his date on these outings. Sadie thinks Denver is a total flirt and doesn’t have a serious bone in his body but slowly her initial impression of Denver changes as they spend more time together actually getting to know each other. Denver doesn’t know what it is about Sadie but she’s drawn him in and he wants to know everything about her but he knows she’s cautious and that gives him the time to rethink he’s own priorities.
I’ve always enjoyed the enemies to lovers and fake dating tropes and this one works really well especially since Sadie and Denver seem like such an unlikely couple at the beginning until you peel back their layers and realize that absolutely compliment each other. Not Friends is the 3rd book in @racheljohnwrites series and I can’t wait to see where it goes next!
Thank you @racheljohnwrites for this eARC in exchange for my honest feedback.
