This book is fine. Average spice, average couple, average plot. It was definitely an easy and predictable read, so I would recommend it for those in a reading slump.
I just don’t think I can get behind the brother’s best friend trope because why at your big ass ages do you care that deeply that your friend is dating your little sister? So much of Brooks internal dialogue revolved around the fact that Gus would be mad at him. It’s so unreasonable and low key rooted in misogyny (to infantilize your sister even though she is a fully functioning and mature adult).
