The End In Friends by Coralee June

5.0

If there was ever a ficitional couple that I resonated with it's Jae and Verena. One of my really good friends from college and I didn't cross that line because we didn't want to ruin our friendship. Now that I'm significantly older, would it have been ruined or enhanced? I'll never know, but Verena and Jae do get their HEA. BUT... not before everything falls apart. I loved how the chapters alternated between Jae and Verena because when Verena complained about a missed date or last minute meetings with Jae, we got his version of the truth. But rather than tell Verena what he was really feeling, he became this tyrant no one but Verena could rein in until she had enough and quit. And then Jae's Auntie Binna comes back to NY with the saddest news. Everything is spiraling out of control and all of a sudden Jae and Verena are engaged. Oh boy! The things we do for the people we love. All the fakeness made Jae AND Verena take stock of everything that mattered most, including where their relationship would end up.

I cried so hard! For Jae. For Verena. For Binna. All while cursing the author because I wanted to laugh. These characters touched me to the depths of my soul. 

I received an advance copy of this book at my request and voluntarily left this review.
