Untouchable by Shon
4.0

The Neverending TBR Jar: Book 2

If Shon don't know how to do nothing else, she knows how to write a good spicy scene and this book had plenty!

This story starts off with Pierre being madly in love with his best friend Talulla. When Talulla approach him with the opportunity to be friends with benefits, he thinks this is the perfect way to get her to fall in love with him the way he's been in love with her. But as time pass, Talulla is still not budging on being more with Pierre than what they are. So now they are at an impasse of will they wont they.

If you are not a fan of irritating, immature, taking advantage of good men, female main characters then you will hate this book. This is a beautifully written story of two complicated friends wanting something different and more out of the relationship but the other person is not in the right place to give them. Honestly, I wanted more for Pierre and thought he could do so much better than a girl that didn't feel the need to get her mess together until late in her big age of 29 but I guess in reality you can't help who you love. I'm just glad Talulla did go to therapy in the end even though I think Pierre should have never taken her back after she got help.
