Millie is the only woman in a tight-knit group of guy
friends, and lately she’s been feeling like the odd one out—especially as
everyone else couples up. After a wild night, she ends up in bed with a
stranger, and when her friends talk her into trying online dating, she connects
with a profile that feels surprisingly perfect. The catch: the “new guy” might
not be new at all.
What worked for me was the humor and the pacing. Christina
Lauren delivers plenty of laugh out loud moments, and I loved the way the story
explores how differently people present themselves in person versus behind a
screen. The friend group is lively, the dialogue is snappy, and the romance has
a sweet undercurrent even when things get messy.
The reason it is 3.5 stars for me is that some of the
conflict relies on miscommunication and assumptions that felt a bit stretched.
A few emotional beats are brushed past quickly, and I wanted deeper
follow-through on certain friendship dynamics (especially once secrets start
stacking up).
Still, if you’re in the mood for a contemporary rom com with
a strong ensemble cast, a modern dating twist, and plenty of charm, this is
worth picking up. Recommended for readers who enjoy friends-to-lovers energy,
light angst, and a happily-ever-after.
★★★½
