A Guide to Being Just Friends
by Sophie Sullivan
A Guide to Just Being Friends Book Review
Rating: ★★★
Read if you like:
・ Strangers-to-friends-to-lovers
・ Slow burn romance
・ Found family
・ Closed door romance
・ Opposites attract
“Right now, I want to learn how to keep that smile on your face.”
“That’s easy. Kiss me.”
(I am very unsure of how I feel about this book, so please give this review some grace and take it with a grain of salt)
A Guide to Being Just Friends is a cute, friends-to-lovers romance with a bit of grumpy/sunshine energy.
I really enjoyed getting to know Wes and Hailey at the beginning of this book. Their meet-cute introduced both of the characters well and established some relatively important plot points. On the whole, the first two-thirds of this book are a solid four stars: cute banter, amazing side characters, fun “friendly” outings, and good potential character arcs.
The last third of the book, however, falls completely flat for me. Both Wes and Hailey’s character development became confusing and felt generally unresolved by the end of the book. I think this is because there was so much happening in the last couple chapters that it was difficult to know where to look, so-to-speak. The writing was also generally subpar for an author’s third book.
This book is your typical romance: it’s fun, it’s easy, but that’s really all it is.
