Friends or Something More? (book nook)

Guys, I have been continuously reading as I try to catch up on these reviews. This was actually the 12th book I completed this year and today (10-6-19) I am currently reading my 16th book. So I do have some catching up to do. I promise I am trying my best. But for now, here is today's review. It is the book, "Just Friends" by Billy Taylor. This author is someone I have seen all over the internet with cute quotes and everyone was posting quotes from his books. He had been on my list to read for awhile now, so I finally ordered one of his most popular. It did not disappoint.

It has been a few months since I read it, but it is about 2 friends, August and Ethan. They have been friends since they were 7 and they've been inseparable ever since. August is a wanna be actress who gets her big break in America, staring in a movie with one of her favorite directors. Some tragic stuff happens and through it all, August learns she may want to be more than friends. I can't tell you anymore without giving something juicy away, so you're just going to have to read the book.

This book was genuinely the cutest story I have read in awhile. I didn't know when I picked out the book that Billy Taylor was British and so were his characters. I could hear their accents in his writing, it was quite nice. I loved the character development and relationship growth you see in August and Ethan. It really shows how their relationships changes as their situations and circumstances change. Honestly, this book was so cute, it made me feel EXTREMELY single. It didn't bother me that it was super lovely dovey because it was great to see. Not all relationships, platonic or romantic, are like this anymore. It was nice to read about. I give this book 8/10 and I think it is a quick read, that y'all would enjoy. However, if you don't like cute stuff, it might be too corny for you. As for all you hopeless romantics out there, go get this!!

Favorite Character: Ethan because he is so fun and chill. Even with the craziness that his life is, he always stays grounded and has a good head on his shoulders. I also love that he is fun and spontaneous. I mean he is a magician you guys.

Favorite Quotes: "Life would be so much easier if we had the courage to ask the questions we fear the most."
