Blurred Lines by Lauren Layne

5.0

I am still a bundle of happiness after finishing this! I’ve been so excited to read this ever since I got recommended it — and at some point, I thought I was about to dislike it, GLAD THAT DID NOT HAPPEN.

The first few chapters were (in my opinion) swimming in cliché, and because of that, I felt disappointed but a few chapters further and I was hooked!

I loved it, it may not be 100% accurate but I feel like everything that’s happened in this book (apart from the “cliché” ones) are what we see in a similar real life situation. I enjoyed how there weren’t too drama when their true feelings for each other dawned on them — it was handled in a mature way, which I appreciated deeply. Most often than not, I prefer realistic approach on cliché happenings.

I’ve always been torn on the idea whether 2 people of the opposite gender can be platonically best friends, but honestly, I think we can be platonically friends with opposite gender but not best friends. Something like this is bound to happen sooner or later in the friendship, and it would either get in the way of their individual relationships or their friendship. That’s just my opinion on the matter, if anyone disagrees then that’s fine too.

Loved this book, will definitely reread this soon!!!
