itsfel's Reviews > A Guide to Being Just Friends

I want to start off by saying thank you for giving me the opportunity to read this book through net galley! Second of all there was no information listed on net galley (or goodreads at the time i requested the book) about this book being the third in the series. I believe not reading the other two books has effected my review.

The start of the book felt a little awkward for me to read and took me a couple chapters to get used to the writing style. As characters are introduced it feels a little like you should know who they are already and know their vibes which if you havent read the rest of the series you dont.

This is a slow burn romance of two people becoming friends and trying to stay just friends. This felt like the slowest burn that barely led to a burn. I enjoyed their friendship but didnt enjoy how their relationship evolved. Instead of feeling the spark between the two it was more so each of them getting jealous and not communicating their feelings about the other dating other people. I didnt enjoy their conflicts and the major conflict felt very rushed along with the resolution feeling rushed as well.

Aside from romance i felt like there was a lot of filler about the businesses and the side characters. Overall I did not get attached to any of the characters including Hailey and Wes.

I really wanted to enjoy this book because the concept seemed but in the end it was enjoyable. One thing i did enjoy about the story was that Wes started creating an actual guide to being just friends. I think maybe if they were more forthcoming about their feelings for each other and throughout that continued to try and stay just friends it could of added more to the book.
