The Plus One by Mazey Eddings
4.5
challenging dark emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
No one can balance humor, romance, and the depths of the characters quite like Mazey Eddings!

Brother’s best friend is one of my favorite tropes, so I was sure going into the book that I would like it, but I also loved how it was kind of a twist on the trope. While Indira and Jude had bickered, they had a lifetime of memories that had already laid a foundation for the relationship they form in this book and I loved that for them! It also allowed them to have amazing and believable chemistry right off of the bat.
It’s really hard to balance a romcom with potential trauma that the characters have gone through, and watching Jude and Indira’s journeys to heal while also falling in love was adorable!
I also loved meeting Jeremy and Collin, and I liked how they allowed Indira and Jude to strive for a relationship like theirs.
My only problem was that the ending felt a little clunky, but I also appreciated one last scene with the main friend group that I have grown to love over the last three books!

Thank you so so much to NetGalley, St. Martin’s Griffin, and Mazey Eddings for providing me access to this book.
