Just Friends by Madison Wright

3.0

Just Friends is a cute friends to lovers, he falls first, slow burn romance book. It is definitely a big change from the normal romance books I read which tend to be on the dark side.

The story follows best friends Hazel and Alex as they navigate their feelings toward each other while dealing with the fear of what that means for their friendship.

Alex falls head over heels first. While he wasn’t my favorite MMC, it was very sweet how much and how aware he was he loved Hazel.

I loved the references to movies, shows and books mentioned throughout the story and how it played into Hazel and Alex’ love story.

It was slow burn to the max and spice level was low, but if you’re looking for a summertime romance with a cinnamon role male character who falls for his best friend first, this is for you!

Thank you to Madison Wright and Netgalley for the ARC.
