I reread this book via audio and it was AMAZING. I have never experienced duet narration before and I am here for it. The narrators did such a good job and I felt like I was listening to the story as it was actually playing out—it made all the feels even better.
So, here’s an updated version of my original review—and also, yes. I made my husband, Ben, THE sweatshirt. 👌🏻😍😂
I don’t feel like I can adequately explain how much I loved this book, but here goes an attempt. I laughed, I swooned, I wanted to smack Ben upside his head, I wanted to hug Trey and Marco, and I cried. It is one of the best friends to lovers stories that I have read—and it is my favorite trope. I love that we got so much funny, sweet, perfect history between Ben and Brooke that made their friend status completely understandable and the relationship so full.
Things I Loved:
-Hilarious first meet cute
-Ben puns (My husband’s name is Ben so this was just extra hilarious to me 😂)
-“A man doesn’t forget a girl like you.”
-“Stiff as a board, light as a feather.” 🤣
-“Zac Effer is sturdy?” (All the heart eyes for the flashbacks of Brooke’s parents—they’re just the cutest!)
-Boys to Men 🙈😂
-Sequins
-The sweatshirt
-“The man knows everything about me, except how my feelings for him have changed.”
-Eat cute
-Airport goodbye
-Sibling texts
-Ben Spanx
-Ben’s many mishaps
-Outside the elevator (MY HEART)
-Conference room
-Viral Ben GIFs
-THE CARWASH
-Hibiscus plants
-Marco
-Whiteboard
-Incentives & Signing Bonus
-The Letter 💌
-“This is livin’.”
My opinion still holds that this is an absolutely fantastic end to the series! 💛
