Brand New Friend by Mike Gayle

3.0

I quite enjoyed this book once Jo came into the picture fully. Although, and I'm sure everyone's experiences are different, I have had close male friends. A mixture of feelings has come out of them, as well as relationships, which this book nicely explores.

The ending, however, did leave me a bit annoyed. Rob did not need to initiate the interaction which caused the two to make their final decision and I feel, if he hadn't, then their lives would have gone a little differently. But then, are the two of them truly happy with their choices one way or the other?

Overall, this book has made me think about my own past friendship with men and what's come from them.
