I've read a few other books by Camilla Isley and loved them but sadly, this one wasn't for me.
Lori, Aiden and Jace have been best friends for fifteen years, all through college, med school and they now work together at the same practice. Aiden is due to get married soon and Lori is heartbroken as she's been in love with Aiden the whole time she's known him. Lori platonically spends the night at Jace's as she's upset after receiving the wedding invitation and he is aware of how she feels about Aiden.
Aiden calls to Jace's the next morning and when Lori answers the door, he jumps to the wrong conclusion. Lori likes that pang of jealousy so pretends that she and Jace are dating. She talks Jace into continuing the charade but what she doesn't know is that Jace has been in love with her for the past fifteen years, knowing that she only had eyes for Aiden.
I am a hater of the miscommunication trope and this is basically what this story is. I am also not a Taylor Swift fan and it had a few too many references for me. I also felt like it was a bit rushed.
I loved the characters, it was an easy read that I flew through but I just don't think it was for me. Of the four books I have read by this author, this is the first I haven't loved so I will definitely continue to read more. Just a personal preference thing for me!
