A review by alisonsreadingcorner12
A Guide to Being Just Friends by Sophie Sullivan

2.0

I really wanted to like this book and for about 20% of it I felt like it was decent and had potential to get better. It did not get better.

Instead of a slow burn romance it felt like the first 70% of the book was an almost third act breakup? They had the most ridiculous reasons for not being together and honestly I can even get past dumb reasons love interests aren’t together if the tension is good but there was NO tension.

Then the actual third act break up was so so so dumb. There were also a couple of parts leading up to the third act that were deal breakers for me and made me dislike the FMC a whole lot. This one was just a no for me.

Thank you Netgalley and St Martin’s Press for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.
