How to Kiss Your Best Friend
by Jenny Proctor
Since he was eleven years old, Brody has had feelings for his childhood best friend, Kate. Unfortunately, she has never returned his feelings. After she moved away as a freelance travel writer, they lost touch. Brody never stopped thinking about or loving her, but just as he was about to give up, he received a text message informing him that she was on her way home. So, what could possibly go wrong?
This was a charming Best Friend to Lover book that will tug at your heart strings. Brody is the ideal book boyfriend anyone could hope for. I truly felt terrible for him. Kate had so much baggage that it was inevitable that she was oblivious to her true feelings. Anyhow, I like how the author portrays their struggle in such a way that you can't help but wish them happiness. In addition, the setting was ideal; I felt as if I had been there the entire time. However, I would have preferred scenes or scenarios from the Appalachian Trail hike to have been included.
Furthermore, I'm embarrassed to admit this somehow, but the reason I gave it a 3.5 star is because I prefer the enemies-to-lovers trope, and only from a single perspective. I think I enjoy the tension, and torturing myself by not knowing what the other character is thinking. Not only that, but I'm a sucker for drama and angst. Isn't it ridiculous? Anyhow, this is merely my view, and it is not intended to discourage you from reading this book. It's most likely my personal preference, but you should read it and decide for yourself. Jenny Proctor's writing has piqued my interest, and I'm eager to read more of her work. Perhaps the plot of the other sibling will appeal to me more.
