5.0

I loved this read—my favorite of the bromance series so far! My one critique isn’t even about the main characters in this book, but more of a writing flaw in a surrounding character. Gavin from the 1st bromance book (The Bromance Book Club) appears in book 2 and book 3, but his stutter is mysteriously gone? This is disappointing to me, as the 1st book and Gavin’s character offers great disability representation that falls short in the following books. I’m not sure why the writer felt the need to remove Gavin’s stutter in these later books.

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

Another great addition to the Bromance Book Club series! I loved the friends to lovers trope used in this book and the continued growth of the characters arcs.
