Not Here to Stay Friends by Kaitlyn Hill

4.0

This book had everything I could want in a childhood friends-to-lovers with a bachelor twist!

Not Here to Stay Friends follows Sloane and Liam, who have been friends for years and years and years. Sloane is spending the summer in her dream city, Los Angeles, while visiting her best friend. Sounds like the perfect recipe for a summer of fun, right? That is, until both of them get roped in to work on an up-and-coming reality rating show called Aspen Wood's Future Leading Lady - or AWFLL for short. As the two navigate the world of reality television and bad intentions, they also have to decide whether or not they are here to stay friends or maybe become something more.

I could not put this book down! the writing was genuinely so fun to read, I felt for both Sloane and Liam and was wholeheartedly rooting for them the whole time. I loved learning about their relationship with each other, but also the relationships that they form on the show. I really appreciate that they had solid friendships outside of the main relationship, I feel like it gave a good depth of character and helped to show the different sides of love, not just romantic.

Not Here to Stay Friends is a delightful little romance that gives a peek behind the curtain of reality tv that will make you giddy for more.

I received this arc from NetGalley and Random House Children's in exchange for an honest review.
