A review by bookishnerdyandcurious
My Brother's Billionaire Best Friend by Max Monroe
5.0
In my effort to start to review some of my back catalog, let me start here. I picked this up because I was new to KU and it was recommended in a number of places, so why not? Dude, I am SO happy I did - not only did I enjoy the story, but I was laughing the whole time... like, ugly, side splitting, snort-y laughter. Yeah, while I leave you with that attractive visual, let's jump in.
Maybe is a 24-year-old virgin trying to chase her dream of becoming an editor while working in her parents' flower shop who has sent six of the most mortifying text messages, including offering her virginity, to her childhood crush... who just happens to be her brother's best friend, Milo.
Milo, on the other hand, is a successful billionaire who is intrigued by this new Maybe - she's still awkward, but in an adorable way, and she has definitely Grown Up. He's totally keeping an eye on Maybe for her brother, Evan, right? She's like a little sister to him... until she isn't. And now Maybe is the only thing on his mind. Evan will understand, maybe? Will Maybe understand?
I loved Maybe and Milo - the whole friends-since-childhood-to-lovers trope is completely a catnip situation for me. (Maybe because it keeps me hopeful? Who knows?) Honestly, I completely related to Maybe's brand of awkward and hope to see more of her in other Max Monroe books. I love that Milo runs in the same circles as the Billionaire Bad Boys club and we get to see glimpses of them in the book as well. Not that I knew that when I read this book. I got to appreciate that once I started going through the majority of the Max Monroe catalog (and there's so much more to read).
This was my first Max Monroe book and I didn't realize there was a whole series (and another book) before this that tangentially ties into this book. It definitely can be read as a standalone and was a great introduction to these authors - in fact, as soon as it was done, I started to look for more books by them and completely immersed myself in their world. Thanks, KU for introducing me to a new-to-me favorite author(s)!
