Between Friends & Lovers
by Shirlene Obuobi
This story follows longtime friends navigating their relationship. This book is not only a romance book but also focuses on healing and development. The writing style was more modern and just a style I wasn’t into it. It was a bit hard to read and get into. As much as there was healing going on, I would say that the conflicts were not that hard. I did enjoy the self discovery throughout this book. This book is told from both Jo and Malcom’s pov.
Jo is our tiktok influencer doctor and I loved seeing her discover herself. She did have moments that were annoying but I loved seeing her grow. Then we have Mal whose an author that meets Jo at a party. I loved following his perspective and seeing his love for Jo. They both grew a lot in this book. We do have many side characters but the main one is Ezra. I do think the story would have been much for better with his pov. The romance was cute but this book didn’t feel so much of a romance. The romance was well developed but the story also focuses on other themes that takes away from the main category.
The ending was well done and overall I enjoyed this book. It was a great read and I am excited to read obuobi’s future works. Check this one if you love the med field, love triangles, and character growth.
