Like so many other fans, I was really excited when I heard the next chapter in The Best Man saga was going to be a book and it definitely didn’t disappoint.
If you’ve been following this group of friends, you know there’s always been some lingering tension between Harper, Robyn, and Jordan. This novel dives deeper into their dynamic, but don’t worry - we still get some great moments with Murch, Candace, Quentin (who is still hilarious btw), Shelby, and Lance too.
Harper’s living that unfulfilled bachelor life. Robyn’s in Accra, trying to reclaim her peace and purpose after pouring so much of herself into Harper. And Jordan? Still the beautiful, confident powerhouse we’ve always known, but this time we get a glimpse beneath the surface.
The book really adds depth to each character. I saw so much of myself in both Robyn and Jordan - Robyn’s journey to start showing up for herself the way she does for everyone else, and Jordan’s need to appear strong and put together being rooted in something deeper.
This group of friends feels like family at this point, and it was such a joy to reconnect with them. That ending though?! 😱 Definitely put this one on your list when it drops in July!
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!
