Liam and Mabel have been pen pals for two years, they helped each other go through their last year of high school, and became best friends.
They never meet, but love each other, and refuse to cross the line. Until they meet each other by accident.
Will they keep their identities a secret, or will they recognized their souls despite the fact they don’t know each other?

This is an enjoyable novella, but I don’t think that is realistic, because there’s no way that a 20 year old has this level of maturity. The level of emotional intelligence displayed in their dialogue.

Happy Readings

this was super cute

Quick novella just over 100 pages but super cute and the spice wasn’t too bad either

Plus size rep is super important in both partners, would recommend

They ‘meet’ as pen pals in class, and stay in touch via text.

I received an ARC and I am leaving a voluntary review of The Guy For Me.

I had read two books of Marzy Opal which revolves around a dark theme, and now I have read The Guy For Me, which is a bit lighter than the other two. This is a best friends to lovers novella. This story contains a shy, dirty-talking hero, an empowered, sunshine heroine. This book also contains some strong language, sexual content, and mentions of bullying. Reader discretion is advised.

This story is about Liam, the MMC and Mabel, the FMC. Through penpal-shio they became best friends, and pillars for each other. The first time they meet is so heartbreaking

I can’t even give a single star for the story but 3 stars for the plus sized characters! Other than that it was 100% smut and zero plot. Sigh.

Um, I was looking for a quick read so I saw this in twitter's recs so why not right

the premise was cute but oh my god, it lacks everywhere. i just can't, even the sex scene, it doesn't even make sense

cause, "...that’s not a cock. That’s a fucking rifle!”
