Nick is back after his second tour in the military and he's back to stay. His best friend Noel is there to pick him up from the airport. His homecoming doesn't entirely go as he expected. Newly single and confronted with the fact she's already moving on Noel takes some actions on a night out that will change their friendship forever.
Noel does have a bit of a "not like other girls" streak but other than that it is fun and their chemistry is pretty solid.

🌶️🌶️/5
“Every time I’m with her, it’s like the world shines a little brighter.”
🎄 Friends to lovers
🎄 Slow burn
🎄 He falls first
🎄 FMC overcomes trauma surrounding death of parents
🎄 Family Christmas Tree Farm
🎄 Some well established secondary characters
🎄 Fake dating (briefly to make exes jealous)
🎄 Found family
🎄 Epilogue
🚩 Toxic masculinity & sexism in characters’ speech & thoughts towards each other. Writing normalises men being shamed as ‘effeminate’ & ‘enuch’, women as ‘ho’, ‘bitch’, and slut-shamed.
🚩 Little growth in characters surrounding sexist & toxic remarks
🚩 Moderate typos
⚠️ Pregnancy, moderate violence, car accident (not on page), death of parents (not on page), misogyny/sexism, toxic relationship, toxic friendship, vomit, MC returns from active duty in military.
