Jacks and Marchie by Lucy Lennox
2.5
Ugh, why did this have to be so short?? I am such a sucker for childhood friends to lovers, especially if one of them has been pining and longing for his friend this entire time, while the other was completely oblivious until now. Like, yes please, I love that!
And Jacks and Marchie definitely had the potential to really make that trope work, as they were both likable and could have had quite a lot of chemistry, while also being in a rather dramatic and serious situation with Jackson's health crisis.
Unfortunately, this novella was so short, I could not really get attached to the relationship or the characters as individuals (although it helped that I already liked Jacks in the previous book). Thus, this novella did not live up to its potential.
However, it was enjoyable and kind of sweet, and consequently worth the quick read.
