The Next Best Fling
by Gabriella Gamez
A solid debut by this author with some lovely moments and some hiccups.
This book kind of felt like my best friends wedding except the best friend is actually an asshole and she falls for his brother instead.
Marcela has been in love with her best friend Ben for years. Since they dated and he told her they were better off as just friends. When Ben gets engaged to Alice his brother Theo (ex NFL players, but it's not really relevant as he's retired now) shows up and admits to Marcela that he's also in love with Alice.
It's super soap opera-y and entertaining the writing is fast paced and easy to follow.
It's got some issues in that there is a lot of repetition and the FMC goes back and forth on her feelings A LOT. Too much. It also felt weird that the one character kind of holding everyone hostage just becomes a villain and there is no wrap up of that relationship by the end. It felt disjointed and weird.
Overall it's cute. But just ok.
Thanks NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for this review!
