Okay, I was kinda hesitant at first when starting this book. The last book, Brynn and Sebastian Hate Each Other was not my favorite, but this story redeemed it! It does help reading B&SHEO before starting because there are main characters from B&SHEO that carry onto this novel.
Cole and Laia’s friendship is so sweet and tender that you feel like you’re reading this book with a snuggie on. I did appreciate the dual point of view between Cole and Laila, their banter and jokes were funny! My one qualm was the lengthy asides and long train of thought dialogue. It made the scene drag on and on and then caused me to go on a rabbit trail of thoughts. Eh, not good for this mama. Overall it was a lovely read and will definitely make you want to book your next visit to NY with your bestie.
Many thanks to NetGalley, Bethany Turner, and Thomas Nelson fiction for allowing me to review this ARC!

Cole and Laila Are Just Friends, or so they’ve always told themselves and others, until Cole experiences some life changing news that leads both Cole and Laila on a trip to NY that ultimately starts to change things for the both of them. I thoroughly enjoyed this friends to lovers romance, which was filled with all the pop culture references and diddies that filled my little millennial heart with so much joy (Friends, When Harry Met Sally, Serendipity, Ghostbusters, you name it!) Cole and Laila were just absolutely adorable and the whole time I was reading this book all I could think about was how “You are In Love (Taylor’s Version)” has to be their song, it just took them a little bit of time to figure that out, and we got to read about it all playing out.
This was the perfect rom com. This was my first book by Bethany Turner, but it won’t be my last – this book was a sequel but worked well as a standalone (I will be going back to read about Sebastian and Brynn).
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book provided to me through NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you to Bethany Turner and Thomas Nelson--FICTION for giving me the opportunity to read this book!
