I think this is the first friend-to-lover I've enjoyed in a long time. Like they felt like friends, something changed, and it felt authentic and plausible.

Breaker has been in love with his best friend Lia for years, but it's taken her getting engaged for him to realize it. As she struggles with her future mother-in-law's attempts to take over the wedding, he steps in to help as her man of honor and that's when things get complicated. Is Lia slipping away, or does Breaker have a shot with her?
Friends to lovers is one of my top tropes, but I really struggled with this one for a few reasons. First, the pacing was off. So much of the book was given to the wrong relationships that the right one felt rushed. And second, Breaker spent so long in denial that I actually started to worry that he wasn't going to stop Lia before she made it to the alter. And finally, the miscommunication trope popped up at the really vulnerable moment.
But those things aside, I really enjoyed the dynamic between Breaker and Lia. They were such good friends, really perfect for each other. And I loved the Lia found new friends in her knitting circle. Aside from Breaker and Brian, she really didn't have anyone else, so the book really needed that female friendship.
Overall, I think this book is worth reading.

Meghan Quinn was on Tumblr c. 2010 and never got over it. The book started with Wincest for God's sake and the "nerdiness" didn't get better from there. Also, would appreciate if she could've settled on a plot line.

I just was not a fan of this story. The book had ups and downs but the amount of time it took for the two main characters to finally realize they liked each other was excessive. Tbh, it felt like a more drawn out, less angsty version of So Not Meant to Be. If you’re a romcom lover, you’ll probably love this.

This was so fun, funny and cute in comparison to the other novels in the series. I recommend!
