A Guide to Being Just Friends by Sophie Sullivan

3.0

So my pet peeve with Sophie Sinclair never changes: I like her plots and characters, but at the end of the day she tends to tell, not show, too much. She tells us how the characters felt about a scene more than she wrote the scene. I read all the other books in this series, so I was glad to complete the set, but as a one-off I don't think this would have been my cup of tea. The "let's just be friends" setting has been done a lot, and although people always catch feelings, as the kids say, we just didn't quite see enough of why the main characters were MFEO. Also, am I the only person weirded out by the fact the MFC's business is serving salad in a CUP?!?! Rich, fancy people are supposed to go nuts for salad in a foam to-go coffee cup?! But anyway, it was a totally no-stress, quick read, and that's always appreciated these days.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for my copy of A Guide to Being Just Friends by Sophie Sullivan in exchange for an honest review.
