His Grumpy Childhood Friend by Jackie Lau

4.0

Lau’s books don’t always work for me but this one really did; in many romances where one of the MCs has issues (family issues, mental health issues, etc.) the book ends up feeling unbalanced in one direction or another, where the other character’s main role is to prop up their partner. That wasn’t the case here - Charlotte is grumpy but intensely content in her life and who she is as a human being, and Mike has had enough therapy that he’s able to accept the emotional ties and approval that Charlotte (and her family) offer.

That said, Mike's taste in cider is absolutely appalling.
