Description

USA TODAY BESTSELLER • In a novel that’s perfect for fans of Alice Clayton and Emma Chase, Lauren Layne delivers a sexy take on the timeless question: Can a guy and a girl really be “just friends”?

When Parker Blanton meets Ben Olsen during her freshman year of college, the connection is immediate—and platonic. Six years later, they’re still best friends, sharing an apartment in Portland’s trendy Northwest District as they happily settle into adult life. But when Parker’s boyfriend dumps her out of the blue, she starts to wonder about Ben’s no-strings-attached approach to dating. The trouble is, even with Ben as her wingman, Parker can’t seem to get the hang of casual sex—until she tries it with him.

The arrangement works perfectly . . . at first. The sex is mind-blowing, and their friendship remains as solid as ever, without any of the usual messy romantic entanglements. But when Parker’s ex decides he wants her back, Ben is shocked by a fierce stab of possessiveness. And when Ben starts seeing a girl from work, Parker finds herself plagued by unfamiliar jealousy. With their friendship on the rocks for the first time, Parker and Ben face an alarming truth: Maybe they can’t go back. And maybe, deep down, they never want to.

    This story was lacking purpose/meaning. The events that took place were very Hallmark and formulaic to me. I could pretty much anticipate the characters next dialogue and move. I’m not saying that’s a total bad thing, because it does come with the territory of the best-friend to lovers genre. BUT I’ve read some of those same genres and there is just more texture, originality, and meaning to those stories than there is here. I gave it three starts because I do like the story, but it was just a bit too cliche and generic for me.

    * Spoilers Ahead* In all the reviews I read, not one mentioned the constant inconsistencies in the story line. The story is told from the two main characters point of view. They alternate with every chapter. Parker, the female lead, has a mother who is sick with cancer. She doesn’t talk about her much, but in Ben’s point of view, the mom has died from cancer. We randomly reach a chapter where they are visiting Parker‘s parents house, where the mom is now alive, and has beat cancer. I’m on page 51, and already the mom is both dead and alive, dinner was enchiladas on one page, and lasagna on the other, and an ex-boyfriends name has changed twice. This book is going in my did not finish pile, because all of these inconsistencies make it very tough to follow along.
