But this is not some conniving young woman who’s out to steal herself a man. She’s just this sweet girl who loves her friend and he just doesn’t know it. As each mother tries to discover what happened that night, secrets start to surface. Secrets each woman has held close, the husbands are keeping, and even that the boys were concealing. Before Jamaica Lane is one of my all-time favorite books and one of the best friends to lovers books because it is just so well written. It has the perfect blend of heat and angst as these two realize that they’re falling for each other.

Oh! I must also mention the epilogue -- so unbelievable and utterly ridiculous. Even now, I am shaking my head in disbelief. If you’re looking for your next binge worthy thriller look no further because good lord you guys was this one good! It’s highly emotional, dark and disturbing and also incredibly sad and there are several instances where it was even a little hard for me to read, but damn was it great. This was a tough one for me to rate. While I enjoyed the premise and was kept mostly entertained, the overall feel of the book was a little sloppy.I was gripped by this story of Kendra, Dani and Lindsey, who have been best friends forever! Now they have children of their own, and each of their teens are best friends to each other. One night, a horrific event takes place while the teens are hanging out. One ends up dead from a shotgun wound, another is in coma due to a shot to the head, and the other is alive but seemingly unable to talk and explain what happened. This creates a domino effect in the lives of the three women and their families.

A Love Letter to My Best Friend by Andrew Warner

This book was fantastic, tragic, and beautiful all at once. I loved the friendship parallels between the mothers and their sons. It was easy to form connections to the characters and I saw pieces of myself in each woman. Their history was well developed and the drama and familiarity among the characters perfectly fit the storyline. Though the subject matter was heavy and this was a very emotional read at times, I liked that there were enough side stories to detract from the tragedy a bit. I liked that some of the storylines didn’t completely wrap up and left us to imagine how things unfolded. I can’t recommend this one enough!!

Both Brishen and Ildiko see the other just as ugly in appearance as they expected on their wedding day and yet through a new-found friendship, they come to find each other more beautiful than either could imagine in this amazing love story. You instantly see how comfortable these two are as neighbors at the start of this story, and how they’d do anything for each other. It just took a weekend away to finally open their eyes and see that they just might want more.

Shannon and Adrienne have been best friends ever since they were little. But one day, Adrienne starts hanging out with Jen, the most popular girl in class and the leader of a circle of friends called The Group. Everyone in The Group wants to be Jen's #1, and some girls would do anything to stay on top . . . even if it means bullying others. Although both girls are from the same milieu, Zahra is framed as having an “uncertain social position”. She is introspective and intellectual, compared with waggish, academically indifferent Maryam, who is destined to inherit the family fortune. Zahra makes it to Cambridge and pursues a career as the UK’s top civil liberties lawyer, while Maryam, who partly grows up in London, stays there to become a venture capitalist. The social media app she owns has a facial-tagging feature that poses a threat to the liberties for which Zahra is fighting. Nevertheless, both are nestled in the same smart set of celebrities, politicians, entrepreneurs. A novel about the maturing of an artistic consciousness hides inside a coming-of-age novel about crushes and first kisses I thought this may be too sorrowful to read during these stressful times, but an underlying lifting sentiment was surprisingly affected by the author. That’s talent! This was such a great friends to lovers book where two adults finally admit and commit to the love they found as teenagers. In 1981, Ann Patchett met Lucy Grealy in college, and, after attending a writer’s workshop, a close friendship bloomed that would last decades. As a child, Lucy lost half her jaw to childhood cancer. Through the years of reconstructive surgery, Ann and Lucy’s bound remains strong only to be separated by Lucy’s death at a young age.Both main characters are what make this friends to lovers book such a great read. Alex is such a strong heroine while Eric is a caring friend who’s not ashamed to work their fake relationship to his favor.

Oh wow. I LOVED this novel! At last, a book this year that has a unique plot line that grabbed me and did not let go. This is the tale of every single parent of a teen's worst nightmare.We know the end result, but we don’t know what happened or who, if anyone, is at fault. The sole survivor is so traumatized he can’t speak about it.
