A Very Friendly Valentine's Day

Kayley Loring2021
EDDIE: Cancel your dinky little roomette on the train. I’m booking us two of the big bedroom suites. BIRDIE: I’ll cancel it AFTER you’ve booked the other sleeper rooms. And reimburse you. EDDIE: Don’t worry about it. Just cancel your tickets. I got this. Round trip. I’m on the Amtrak website right now. BIRDIE: You don’t have to leave NYC when I do! You’ll hardly be able to spend any time with your Instagram girlfriend that you've never met! EDDIE: It’s fine. She’ll be fine with it. Cancel your tickets. BIRDIE: You aren’t going to stop texting me until I’ve canceled them, are you? EDDIE: Damn right I’m not. Just do it. You can thank me later. *** EDDIE: Um. Did you cancel your tickets? BIRDIE: Yes, Edward. I canceled them. EDDIE: Okay, because it turns out they only had one Family Bedroom from LA to Chicago. But the good news is I booked it for us. It’s the biggest room they had. The bad news is I booked it for us. And it’s the only sleeper room they have left now. EDDIE: In related news, there was also only one room left from Chicago to New York. EDDIE: Hands up if you’re excited! *man raising hand emoji* BIRDIE: I am so mad at you right now. *** BIRDIE: I’ve compiled a list of ground rules re shared train bedroom. Check your email, please read carefully, and refer to it again on the ninth of February. Thank you. EDDIE: *nerd face emoji* Received. I have some notes. ***This is a 55,000 word very low angst friends to lovers standalone novel***

Gahhh! This book! I am not a big friends to lovers fan. There’s often so much of a slow burn that I get bored or just frustrated and am like just get together already! But this friends to lovers was NONE OF THAT! Kayley Loring gifted us with the funniest, sweetest, sexiest friends to lovers I’ve ever listened to. A Very Friendly Valentine is perfection and a solid new favorite of mine. I adore the Cannavale family to the nth degree, it is such a fun family to read about. Eddie and Birdie’s story was everything I wanted it to be and more. Eddie being the hot AF actor and Birdie being the nerdy girl who met each other in college they placed each other in the friend zone end never stepped outside of it. But when they do OH LAWD these two ignite in passion! But the thing is they don’t let any of that weirdness in that sleeping with your best friend brings into their hearts. Eddie wouldn’t have it. He knew instantly she was his and he didn’t let Birdie fight it, it was so swoon worthy! In the midst of all this sexiness you have a plethora of laughter, all the warm and fuzzies of two best friends diving head first into love and genuinely a freaking fantastic story. Connor Crais and McKenzie Cartwright’s narration was nothing short of superb! And the singing! And the accents! And the Piper reappearance! It is just every single thing you could ever want in a feel good romance. And I mean everything. I want to continue to ramble about what made this book so good but just go find out for yourself instead!
