Almost Just Friends by Jill Shalvis
3.0
Errrr this started off good, but then went up and down the entire way to the end. There was cringey and ugh moments but also have the signature Jill Shalvis charm & ending (including her signature "I'm scared, hold me.").
The plot about Cam's accident felt so repetitive, and I didn't like how he used it as a way to school Piper when Piper discovered he lied to her. There wasn't enough grovel from him, and I felt Piper gave him an out too easily.
Piper was relatable and likeable but I think she deserved better. Everyone in her circle made her seem like the crazy one just because she's the mum of the group & like to journal her days... I didn't like that.
Ughh I hate hate hate when the small town girl who has always dreamt of leaving the town for greater education/ her dreams ends up not going because of the guy but the author masks it as if it's her own choice not for the guy. I can't. The male lead only needs to say he's willing to move for her and he's deemed the perfect man, when really actions spoke louder than words.
