There's this boy.
He kinda owns my heart.
Who am I kidding?
He owns all of me--but he's completely oblivious to it.
And I can't tell him.
Because there's this girl.
And even though he's my best friend, she is too.
Then there's me...
CAUGHT between what feels so right, yet is so wrong.
I love a good angsty new adult read and I love a friends to lovers storyline. What I don’t really gel with is a love triangle so I was a little hesitant when I started this book. But I needn’t have worried as once I started I could not put it down, I was hooked!
Chace and Quinn have been best friends since childhood but in their teens Finley came to town and became part of the trio but also Chace’s girlfriend. Quinn has always hidden her true feelings for Chace and has learnt to live with being the ‘third wheel’ but then on one adventurous night instigated by Finley, the world as Chace and Quinn knew was tilted on its axis.
This book had everything going for it – the humour, the friendship, the fracking hot off the sheets passion! It was great that the reader was left to read between the lines and could see what the characters couldn’t. I really clicked with Quinn, she was sassy and kick ass and definitely someone you would want to be best friends with. Although I loved Chace I sometimes wanted to slap him upside the head to make him see what he should be seeing. I wasn’t a fan of Finley much but she redeemed herself in the epilogue, so alls good.
It was good to have the differing POV of Chace and Quinn so the reader had a clear insight of their thinking and why they did the things they did. Even from the start I could see the pair were meant to be, as Chace was more intimate with the way he treated Quinn than he was when effing Finley! This is why I love friends to lovers stories, the knowing the other person deep before any sexiness takes part just makes it all the more emotive.
As for Greg, well this guy had my heart from the start the big lug with his sexy chesticles and when the drama happened (which I won’t reveal here) I was in bits. Ugly crying commenced!
A brilliantly funny, sexy and poignant read about how one chance moment in time can change everything and those around us. So fabulous I had to hug my kindle to my chesticles when I finished! Five stars!
