alhaider 's review for:
A Guide to Being Just Friends
by Sophie Sullivan
In the final book of the Jansen brothers series, a friends-to-lovers story gets a modern update with Hailey and Wes. Both focused on their lives outside of love Hailey and Wes meet in an abrupt passing - eventually resulting in a friendship that they both value. Not willing to give up the friendship they both struggle with what it means to be friends and what it means to be more.
I enjoyed the final chapter in this series but it took me a bit to really dive in. I was not sold by the story at first and had a hard time getting through the first few chapters but I am glad that I did. My favorite parts were the explanation of Hailey’s parents - who changed how she approached relationships but without the major traumatic circumstances that typically explain this behavior in this trope.
I also respected many of her reactions and the conversations between Hailey and Wes as they usually are blown off and not always examined in romance novels. It feels like a more grown-up friends-to-lovers story one where the two of them will live happily ever after because of a good foundation.
Overall, this book made me want to go back and read the other two books in the series. And it would be a great book for a fun girls' weekend away.
