A Question of Us by Mary Jayne Baker
4.0
I've been watching a lot of romcoms lately (catching up on lost cultural literacy) and one thing I really enjoy is the British trope of "found-family-like friend group that constantly gives you shit but is there for you when you need it."
As such, the friend group is probably the biggest draw for me here. I think certain readers would find the romance in A Question of Us actively off-putting as Simon is very insistent, sometimes physically. Not the greatest way to approach the situation imo, but it does (kinda) work in context. Just felt a lil icky.
Still, a really fun framework for a story, a lot of good ribbing, enjoyable conversational prose and a friends-to-lovers romance that I did end up getting invested in. Big fan of this one.
