In everyone\u2019s life, there\u2019s a split-second decision that can change everything\u2026
\nFor Larissa, it came when choosing which guy to ride home with after a concert. That night, she had no idea she\u2019d met the perfect man. She and Chris are great together, co-parenting a slightly unhinged rescue Yorkie, sharing their favorite books, and judging bread (pumpernickel for the win!). For the first time amid all her side hustles to scrape by, things finally feel easy.
\nBut Chris isn\u2019t the one who drove Larissa home all those months ago\u2014Chris is her boyfriend\u2019s best friend. All Chris wants is for Larissa to be happy. Standing by on the sidelines is slowly killing him, but making a move would destroy someone else. And he\u2019s just not that guy.<\/p>\n

I think this book could\u2019ve been extremely heavy with all of the vulnerability going on if the writer didn\u2019t add any of the humour and silly moments, but thankfully Abby Jimenez knows the key to my heart is well written banter\/sarcasm. It was kind of impossible to not love Chris, with his acts of service and being so heartfelt in the way he expressed himself. Him being afraid of deers would\u2019ve fully given me the ick though Larissa was also extremely well written and honestly relatable. The girl needed therapy but don\u2019t we all? And it was so easy to\u00a0love\u00a0the chemistry between the two of them.<\/p>\n

This is a slow-burn with lots of yearning and Abby always writes the most endearing heroes. Even though this had some moments I didn\u2019t love, overall I enjoyed it and was satisfied by the ending. I am not one for cheating (yes, emotional cheating is a thing!) but I ate this book up! 4.5 stars for me on this one!<\/p>\n
