Anyone But Her

Anyone But Her

Erica Lee2019
Reagan Cooper has been an out and proud lesbian since high school, but can't say no when her gay best friend, Jamie Miller, asks her to pretend to be his girlfriend for his family reunion. Jamie has been there for her through everything. Plus, she's interested in learning more about the family he never speaks of. Living in California for eight years, Charlie Miller has been able to live authentically, but being back in her small Maryland hometown with her conservative family means going back into the closet. What she didn't expect was to be so attracted to her brother's girlfriend.

3.25 - 3.5 An interesting twist on a faux-mance. Reagan agrees to be her BFF's beard for a family reunion as he has not come out to his conservative family yet ... but when she meets his twin sister, the sparks fly. It's a light, fun read and there's a nice build of chemistry as the Reagan and Charlie (Charlene) can't help but flirt even though they both think the other is straight. This was a good read but I was a bit irked by the lack of maturity of the three mains - Reagan, Jamie and Charlie. Jaimie, the gay BFF, was especially aggravating - first off he puts his BFF into a position where his family thinks they have been dating for four years, drags her to a month vacation at his parent's place and then turns into a complete ass while there, doubling down when he finds out his twin sister is not only gay but is falling for Reagan. There was a decided lack of communication - especially once Jamie and Charlie both find out the other is gay - and Reagan is stuck in the middle of it all.
