Dear Sexy Ex-Boyfriend by Lauren Blakely

5.0

Lauren Blakely's "Dear Sexy Ex-Boyfriend" was a cute, sweet, and fun story featuring endearing, well-developed characters and a well-crafted friends-to-lovers romance. Main characters Summer and Oliver were beyond adorable together, and their witty banter kept me laughing for hours. I also enjoyed the story structure that provided flashbacks to earlier moments in their friendship throughout the first half of the book. These vignettes made it clear that Oliver and Summer had been fighting their attraction for a long time despite the fact that they were obviously perfect for each other. I completely understood their reasoning - each was afraid of losing a close friend if the romance didn't work out - but it proved to be a risk worth taking since they ended up so much happier in the end.

The secondary characters in this story were also wonderful and added a tremendous amount of depth and humor to the narrative. It was great fun to see Jason again, this time as Oliver's cousin, and I enjoyed meeting their friend Fitz. Summer's brother Logan was an interesting guy too. I am very excited to read Logan's and Fitz's stories later this year!

Overall, I adored "Dear Sexy Ex-Boyfriend" and highly recommend it for all fans of contemporary romance and romantic comedy. I look forward to the next book in the series!
