About this listen

How far will one man go for the woman he's loved since high school?

Jamie: I've been in love with my best friend for as long as I can remember. I tried to tell her in high school, which royally backfired. Ten years hasn't changed things, but now I'm finally ready to lay it all out on the table. The only problem? She's got her sights set on someone else.

I made the mistake of letting her go once before. This time, I'm going to prove that the only guy she needs is me.

Brynn: We're best friends - nothing more - and it's good like this. That's what I've been telling myself since the night in high school when we shared a single kiss, a night that was great - but then wasn't. Now we're on a road trip to California, and he's surprising me at every turn - helping me overcome my fear of heights, belting out my favorite Monkees song, and looking way sexier with his shirt off than a best friend is supposed to.

But admitting how I feel may mean losing our friendship. I thought I'd find happiness in California, but now I'm wondering if the right guy for me has been by my side all along.

Contains mature themes.

I enjoyed the Narrators they bought the characters to life.
I enjoyed the story just got frustrating sometimes with how blind some people can be.
An excellent book to show you that if you communicate your thoughts properly instead of guessing what the other person is thinking parter or friend life is alot easier 🙂

Delightful. Story was sweet. Seriously, though, who’s in charge of the cover art? Over cut abs on my phone - just NO.

I kept wanting to like this book to the extent that I finished it but dear lord the MMC was horrible. He was so afraid of rejection that he kept ruining things and constantly expected the FMC to just read his mind and when she didn't do exactly what he wanted he threw a tantrum like a toddler (multiple times).
The whole arc was based around miscommunication after miscommunication (mainly caused by the MMC). But the FMC just rolled over and accepted it to the extent that she fully believed that she was equally at fault and was the only one who EVER put in any effort to reconcile after a miscommunication.

Great narrator though.
