Best Friends Don't Kiss

Max Monroe — 2020

Goal: Find a boyfriend, get married, buy a house in the suburbs with a white picket fence, and pop out 2.5 kids. Deadline: Sixty days. That's possible, right? HAHAHA. *Faints* I'm kidding. Well, kind of. I mean, I'm not going to attempt a shotgun wedding or try to get knocked up by some guy I met on the internet, but there is no doubt that, this year, home for the holidays takes on a whole new, terrifying meaning. I have to travel from New York City-my home and safe haven for the last fifteen years-to my tiny hometown in Vermont for Christmas, my baby sister's wedding, and my high school reunion. Talk about a trifecta of single-doom. Throw in Callie Camden-aka my high school class's version of Regina George-and it's a recipe for certified disaster. Especially since my mouth ran away from me when she asked me if I'd be bringing someone to our reunion, and I told her to put me down for two. Gah. Now I can't go alone. But the online dating world is a cesspool of bad manners, speedy hookups, and outright weirdos. Handsome, single, successful-that's what I'm looking for. And it just so happens that my best friend Luke London fits all of the criteria. The only problem is best friends don't kiss... But maybe it doesn't count if it's pretend?

3.80 stars It was a really cute book but i feel like all the chemistry they had it began to fade away towards the end. And i expected more for the ending, i think it was all really rushed for no reason.

“So, this is what boyfriend Luke is like... Affectionate. Sweet. Kind. Attentive. Basically, everything every woman on the face of the planet looks for in a man. No wonder his old girlfriend Dana was so fucking clingy...” Ava. Quirky. Talented artist. Plant mom to Teddy.. is it Teddy 11 or 12 at this point? I lost count. Luke. Pilot. Aspiring Astronaut. Plant dad to current Teddy because Ava can’t keep him alive ever. They are best friends. Meeting 15 years ago as freshmen at Columbia University, they ended up in the friend zone. They are each other’s biggest fans, and are each other’s ride or die. Through certain circumstances, they are brought together in a fake relationship - but you know when you fake it, it never works. In the history of any romance book ever. The end. “Best Friends Don’t Kiss,” is a sweet holiday filled standalone romance by Authors Max Monroe. It is definitely a slow burn romance, and puts two people that are strictly in the friend zone, to navigating their true feelings for one another. If you are also OG fans of Max Monroe this book brings back our favorite billionaire men and their wives to help play a part in their relationship. This was full of hilarious, jaw dropping moments, and some parts even brought tears to my eyes. It was the perfect read to get me in the holiday spirit. Another stunner from my fave rom-com duo!
