Almost Just Friends by Jill Shalvis
4.0
Piper has been looking after her siblings since she was thirteen years old (yeah, I didn’t quite get how that worked either). Now she can finally spread her wings and follow her dreams. Until both her brother and sister return to the house they all grew up in. And not just for a visit, but filled with secrets and seeking something they’re not willing to share.
And then there’s the neighbour’s sexy son. Cam is processing a tragic loss and only in town for a limited time, so the perfect choice for a no holds barred fling. Or is he?
Jill Shalvis has a wonderful voice. Her writing always draws me in and this was a one-sitting read. Piper is on a journey of self-discovery and has to work through quite a few behaviour patterns she established very young, but that no longer serve their purpose. I really liked that moment where Cam teaches her to actually listen to her siblings. Listening is such an undervalued skill and Cam shows her how it has the possibility to change everything.
The thing that bugged me the dog on the cover. There isn’t a single dog in the book, but there is a cat…
ALMOST JUST FRIENDS is a lovely story of family, friendship, and love. I really enjoyed the family dynamics and how all three siblings grow and learn from each other. And watching Piper and Cam fall for each other is utterly delightful. If you’re looking for a sexy romance with a great family angle, this is the story for you.
