I am starting to feel that Best Friends to lovers is one of my favourite book tropes. Well, that, or the fact that Emma Sewell wrote an amazing book and it is hard to believe that it is her first one.
I will be honest, I wasn't sure I would like this book from the first page, but eventually, as the moments between Faye and Bash started to show up more and more I started to fall in love with them, with their friendship and their story. I was biting my nails, waiting for them to finally get together, only to find out that it would not be that easy with these two. They were both constantly fighting not each other, but their feelings towards the other one. Sometimes I was like – oh yes, finally, it’s happening and then, oh well, it is not yet. I know some people might not like these slow-burn things, but gosh this torture was awesome.
I immediately fell in love with Bash’s family and their traditions and all the chapters that are happening there in or around their house are my favourite ones, even though there will be more important moments after, that Christmasy part was the cutest and I am sure that I am not the only one, who loved it. Also, the Christmas atmosphere was captured nicely and I think I might give this book another go during our own Christmas this year just to enjoy it all over again (because let's be honest, there is no best friend other than a good book, waiting for me).
This romance is definitely worth reading if you love romance with some spice and Christmas. I loved it and I am very grateful to Emma for giving me an opportunity to read this as ARC. Wrote the first book as good as this one is a huge success and something to be proud of.
