Love Clichés #4
Falling for Your Best Friend
I know how this story ends. And it’s NOT with the best friends falling in love.
Even if Chase checks all my boxes--and then some.
He’s the perfect guy, and he deserves the perfect girl. Which, to be clear, is not me.
I knew one day I would have to let him go. I just didn’t know it would be so soon.
Or that my traitorous friend would be the one setting him up with a string of potential girlfriends.
Now, I have an impossible choice to make...
I can watch Chase find love with someone else.
Or I can throw my hat in the ring and face my biggest fear, one not even he knows.
One that might make him run for the Texas hill country.
But if I don’t make a play, I might lose my best friend and my only chance at love...

4.5 - so close to 5 stars but the truth is I had to skim some filler parts I didn’t care about.
LOVED this story though! My fave couple by far in this series. Excuse me, Chase? Can you be real?
We follow Harper who is the only girl in a family of dudes and has a best friend named Chase. Chase is completely in love with Harper and everyone knows it. Harper is oblivious FOR VERY GOOD REASONS OK.
This is the story of Harper discovering an important aspect to herself and learning how to identify her feelings of love for Chase.
When I tell you that this is absolutely adorable, it’s true. Harper is the most endearing, strong, inspiring woman I love to read about. Chase is a DREAM BOAT. A man written by a woman.
I just wish there were less filler scenes. I get it, but also give me more thoughtful moments, romantic moments. Those moments were the 5 star level for me. Maybe I’m just a goat hater but for some reason that part bored me.
Totally recommend this one! I feel like you could just read this one and not the others and have a great time. But I’m glad I’ve read them in order. The Twelve Holidates is a scene right out of this book and I loved seeing it from Chase’s perspective!
There’s no language. It’s clean with only kissing.

Mmm so this has hands down been my least enjoyable installation in this series and I have a few things to say with full spoilers.
My issue with this book comes down to pacing and plot. But mainly pacing. In short this was at best boring and at worst extremely frustrating. Essentially Harper and Chase are best friends and have been in love with each other forever. Chase doesn't say anything because he's afraid of rejection and Harper doesn't say anything because she doesn't think she's good enough for chase because she has sensory problems. All fine. For the first 20% I found it quite refreshing to read a book where both parts of the friendship are in love and they know their own personal feelings (none of this, "I didn't realise what was in front of me all along rubbish"). I also really enjoyed the nuance and depth to their introspection on the topic. Chase for example realises that he's built a friendship with strings, he's a good friend to Harper, but this is largely due to his feelings for her and his wish for a different sort of relationship.
I very quickly feel off board, once the plot kicks in with Chase revealing his feelings and Harper reciprocating then getting insecure and nervous and backtracking. This initial part was fine - Harper isn't sure how her hyper-sensitivity would work in a relationship so she is understandably wary. Where she lost me, was this is her best friend in the whole world who she loves and she doesn't have a conversation with him about these concerns. She lies to him about not wanting the relationship. And it made no sense. It didn't seem true to Harper's character and felt very much like a plot device. And I hated it. More and more as it dragged on for like a hundred pages. I understand the tension has to come from somewhere but I feel this could have been done better. Even Harper saying, she's confused and needs to sorts some stuff out, and then telling Chase she needs to do it on her own. Then they're still not together, Chase probably still feels hurt because she's not fully confiding in him and the tension comes from Chase not being sure if they have trust and Harper having to work through the courage to go after what she wants. These are all the same beats in the story but it's not based on ridiculous communication issues just for the sake of it.
And this plot device stuck around way past my tolerance. For the solid middle 70% of the book there was no plot progression. Everything was circular and meaningless. I swear Harper was having the exact same musings from 30%, 50%, 60% part of the book while still doing nothing about it. She felt very inconsistent. Chase as well felt very stagnant. And all of this meant that reading this was a reallll drag and very boring, and I didn't enjoy it.
I;m definitely a fan of St. Clair and will stick with her through the rest of this series and even with the new series following Harper's brothers (wishful thinking?!).

Yes! This book, y’all. Representation is so imporatant. For people to see themselves as the hero/heroine. To feel seen and heard. Fiction is such a great Avenue to shine in this too and Emma St. Clair did it so well. Harper knows she’s different...somehow... but is afraid a diagnosis will become her identity and she’ll cease being just herself. She’ll be “it”. She’s learned to manage and be content. She has her job and her friends. Especially her best friend Chase.
Speaking of Chase, I love him. He’s the best. The way that he loves Harper and shows her in a million different way. He’s definitely added to my harem of fictional book boyfriends!
This is a romcom and so I grinned a lot but I also teared up (big, burly man group hug!). It really does hit you in every feel.
Needless to say, I think Emma St. Clair hit it out of the park with this one

4.5 stars. This is a really lovely book and I adored it, but I have caveats.
Adorable baby goat cameo. And some cute doggie cameos towards the end.
Harper is neurodivergent and that colors the story and this book a lot. She and her best friend have been in love with each other for years, but haven't moved things forward because the time they tried, Harper freaked out about being kissed. Since then, they've kept things plutonic and keep their feelings internal. But Chase has gotten his courage up and wants to see if they can make things work. But... Harper freaks out again when they kiss. And there's a journey for her to figure out what's going on and what she wants to do about it. Meanwhile Chase is a bit broken and confused.
This is friends-to-lovers and I think it works well. They are so close to each other, and treat each other very well. Family and friends surround then to cheer them all (and also push really hard for them to be together in maybe an unhealthy way).
I loved this a lot and felt like Harper's friends and family support her and treat her like a "normal" person (meaning they don't consider her sensory issues/personal needs to be "weird"... they just accept them as part of who she is).
HOWEVER...
Chase wants a relationship and he uses other women to make Harper jealous as a way to push her. While he recognizes this as unhealthy and potentially mean, it happens multiple times. Even one of her friends steps in to help him date other women as a way to push Harper. And while I would dislike this in the best of times, the author inserts a woman with whom Chase has a "connection". It's not sexual, and supposedly he doesn't feel attracted... but here is one quote:
"In some alternate timeline of my life, I could totally see myself falling for Chelsea. Or at least asking for a second date. The thought makes me feel uncomfortable, like I’ve got gravel in my shoes. I feel like I’m cheating."
And it makes ME feel uncomfortable, too! I didn't feel like it went far enough that it made me completely out... but it's not super cool.
I enjoyed the audiobook. Two narrators, dual POV.
Safety deets
- No OM. Harper is on the autism spectrum which makes it hard for her to connect to others. Her connection to Chase is special.
- Some OW drama. Kinda. No sex or intimacy with OW after meeting heroine; however, he DOES date other women and one of them flirts with the hero in front of the heroine and NOBODY likes it.
- Consent done well. Chase is very sensitive to what Harper needs and is willing to change things to make her more comfortable and give her space.
- No sexy times. Just some kissing.
- Ends with a marriage proposal.

Best book in the series!!
I'm a huge fan of the Love clichés series because of the laughs and all the feels moments it's given me with each book. But this book . . . hands down, the best book in the series!
I loved the fact that Harper was neurodivergent and I got to see the world in her eyes. It's so refreshing when we get to see a non-stereotypical heroine. That fact alone gripped me from the onset. Getting a glimpse in that world felt real, honest, and refreshing. Add in the cameo appearances from the other Love Clichés heroines and I was a happy camper.
Then we meet the hero...
SWOON!
Chase was perfect. And I don't mean that he was literally perfect and had no flaws (he did). But that the way he loved Harper was perfect. It kept me turning the pages until I could see that HEA.
I may have even teared up a time or two in this book.
All in all, best book in the series, and I canNOT wait until the next one.

REVIEW
It seems like many reviewers liked that Harper represented some neurodiversity in a romance novel, but damn, you guys, there are way better romance novels with neurodiversity representation. This shit was painful.
Harper
Harper is the entire reason this story dragged beyond Chapter 9 and I find her infuriating. While it's obvious from the beginning that she has some sort of sensory sensitivity, ...However, it seems like this has been used to make her a "quirky" MC, and give her a softer, more vulnerable side to counterbalance her strong, hard athlete-trainer side, which is just annoying. I actually find it to be a negative neurodiversity representation, because she's so frustrating to read. Instead of trying to learn about herself and understand this thing that has significantly impacted her life, she tries to totally ignore it, to the detriment of her interpersonal relationships and her own happiness. Also, for a strong, capable, adult woman, she doesn't stand up for herself or handle things alone, which plays into an outdated "weak female" stereotype that I can't stand in romance novels - especially when the h is supposed to be a badass. For example, when a client she doesn't like hugs her without permission, instead of pushing him away and saying "Please don't touch me," her brother & Chase haul him off her and kick him out the gym permanently, while she freaks out about her skin crawling for hours and Chase internally rages about it. *Unpopular opinion because obviously no one should be made uncomfortable or touched against their consent* it was a hug made into something super sinister - this could have been handled way better. She shouldn't need multiple adult men to become overprotective anytime anyone is within 5 feet of her. Also, because no trauma or underlying conditions have been addressed at this point of the novel, it makes it seem like she overreacts, which doesn't make her a likeable MC.
Other ways I find her unlikable: she doesn't have much of a sense of humor, she has a low sense of self worth, and her internal thoughts are usually grumpy, self-pitying, and/or unhappy.
The Pacing: slower than a snail
So this book starts off from the beginning with both Chase and Harper already being super in love with each other for years, just never acting on it or admitting it to each other. Everyone around them knows it, including her brothers, who openly discuss it with Chase. While the friends-to-lovers trope can be super cute, this story just doesn’t seem like it needs an entire book. If one of them was honest or one of the many people in their lives who sees that they’re crazy about each other brought it up, the story would be over in 5 pages. To drag out this story into a full novel makes it beyond boring, with lots of over-descriptions, and angsty, with OW (to make her jealous) drama and ish I skipped over because all of that is just frustrating to sit through.
The Plot / Why they *can't* be together
6 years ago, they went on one date and Harper punched him in the face when he tried to kiss her (I think this is supposed to be - endearing? Funny? I don't get it). Immediately after, she realizes she likes him, but can't process the kissing part. So for 6 years, she's let her feelings build and he's never lost his (developing from a crush to being in love with her), but they're stuck in a best friend cycle. The part that gets me the most is that she's known all along that she has an issue she needs to fix, but has done nothing to explore this whatsoever.
If Harper could just pull her head out of her ass, this book would have ended after Chapter 9. Chase decides to finally tell Harper how he's felt about her for years with 24 CHAPTERS / almost EIGHT HOURS left in the book - so I don't consider this a spoiler ;)
Should you read this book? Does this appeal to you?:
*Now* here's the big issue, and maybe some would consider this a spoiler alert, but again, we are still in Chapter 9 of 33 - When they kiss, her sensory issue flairs up, causing her to feel overstimulated. In her head, she thinks about how she desperately wanted his kiss, but couldn't manage the sensations. Girl, one word: THERAPY. If this book really cared about neurodiversity and promoting mental health wellness for all, it would encourage THERAPY, because wow, this is such an obvious case of someone needing it, and we should be out here normalizing the need for therapy!! If you're actually in love with someone, why would you keep things from him, hurt him, and make him think you don't love him as much as he loves you instead of working to actually figure this out?
Then, how annoying is this thought train:
That's it for this one, and thank fuck, honestly. I'm giving the next one, Falling for Your Enemy, a chance to redeem this series - please come through for me.
*A note about the audio narration* If you're considering listening to this as an audiobook (even after this rant haha), I'd advise reading the book instead (hi, skim reading). I was able to listen to most of this on 2x speed, because 1x narration sounded like the narrators were underwater or moving in slow motion, dragging out an already-dragged-out story. The female narrator weirdly says almost every sentence like a question, and it throws it off even more.

(Harper)"I hate Christmas parties. Honestly, I hate all parties, but Christmas ones are the worst. All the cheer and the jolly and the mistletoe booby traps – ugh. I tug at my neon green sweater with a furry cat face on the front. Its made of a soft material, but I hate it anyway. The bell on the cat’s santa hat jingles as I pull on my sleeves. Yep, Christmas is officially the worst holiday. Abby sighs and sets down her mascara wand, before swiveling in her seat to face me. ‘You don’t have to wear the sweater,’ she says. ‘I know.' But...the invite…gave only 2 options: ugly sweater or formal wear. Pick your poison. Both are deadly and also suck."What a party pooper - you're with all your friends and are upset about having to wear either a soft, kitten sweater or look hot in formalwear? *eye roll*
(Chase)"Harper laughs. I love the sound of her laugh. And it's like some precious gem mined out of the earth. Both because of how it takes work to earn it, and also because of its rare beauty."So, she rarely laughs, even around her best friend in the world. Nice.

Should you read this book? Does this appeal to you?:
"...It took much less for me. I was halfway there when she punched me in the face on our first and only date. I saw stars for a moment as my vision darkened, and then I only saw her. Really saw her. Not the beautiful women in my chemistry class who didn’t mind me talking to her and seemed just as happy to talk right back. I saw Harper. And I could envision a future with her. Yeah, for most people it would take less than a right hook, but it’s like that woke me up to so much about who she was. Who I was. And what needed to change. It was always a long game to me. Getting to this moment right here, where Harper’s in my arms. Now it’s time to make the next move. The final moving of the chess piece that is methodically placed on the board, ready for a check mate. I slide my arms up her back, pausing as she shivers under my touch, but at her slow, soft exhale, I continue, up and under her hair, slipping my hands around until they cup her cheeks. ‘Harper.’ Our gazes collide and the air between us isn’t air, but an electric current: a moving of atoms and electrons to reform a totally new compound. It’s heavy with desire, with longing."
*Now* here's the big issue, and maybe some would consider this a spoiler alert, but again, we are still in Chapter 9 of 33 - When they kiss, her sensory issue flairs up, causing her to feel overstimulated.

"Chase would understand if I talked to him about what happened. But something within me rebelled."You literally *just* said he would. At least he's willing to try. She's so self-sabotaging that she hurts the person she supposedly loves the most, and that is not a cute trait. One last quote showing how effing annoying listening to Harper's inner thoughts is:
So she’s a stubborn idiot, okay...*2 seconds later*
"How can I explain this to Chase? I can’t explain this to him...Chase would want to understand, but he couldn't."
"'Okay,' Chase says. Okay? I'm not sure what I wanted from him, or what I wanted to feel, but it’s a deep, deep cavern of disappointment that he doesn’t fight me on this. You don’t want him to fight, dummy, that would only make this harder. You rejected him, why would he keep chasing you? I know it’s completely selfish, but it doesn’t change how I feel. Its unfair that I rejected Chase, yet I want him to put on better armor and come charging at my gates again. But a very real, perhaps the most real part of me, wishes that he would push back on my half truth."And there you have it - selfish and unfair, just as she says. That's still Chapter 9, so have fun waiting another 22 chapters for her to figure her shit out, meanwhile sitting through Chase dating other women (which a lot of people took issue with in reviews because he can't be both an eternal "good guy" waiting for her and trying to make her jealous, using other women to move on, whatever ugh motivation).
That's it for this one, and thank fuck, honestly. I'm giving the next one, Falling for Your Enemy, a chance to redeem this series - please come through for me.
*A note about the audio narration* If you're considering listening to this as an audiobook (even after this rant haha), I'd advise reading the book instead (hi, skim reading). I was able to listen to most of this on 2x speed, because 1x narration sounded like the narrators were underwater or moving in slow motion, dragging out an already-dragged-out story. The female narrator weirdly says almost every sentence like a question, and it throws it off even more.

A very sweet best-friends-to-lovers story!
Harper was the girl I felt I knew the least up to this point, and yet related to on so many levels. And Chase was just a dear. The amount of angst was… a lot, but I’m happy with how things worked out.
My favourite part was Harper’s family—her dad and brothers are just *chef’s kiss*! 😍 They accept Chase as one of their own & cheer him on in pursuing a relationship with Harper. Okay, and that man-group hug… my heart! I’m so glad we get a spin-off series with them!
And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Chase and the baby goat… 😂
Content: kissing; physical attraction; mild language (1x h*ll); talk about sex and waiting for marriage

I’m not an audiobook gal, but when you can’t hold a physical book, desperate times require desperate measures. 😂 So an audiobook it is. The narrators were PERFECT! And the story was every bit as lovely this time around.

Although this is book five in the Love Clichés series, I started here to prep myself for the release of The Buy-In. And it wasn't confusing at all, if you're thinking about doing the same.
I fell hard for Harper and Chase. I applaud this friends-to-lovers romance for avoiding the typical storyline of simply needing to admit their attraction. Digging into Harper and her struggle with sensory processing, it's a beautiful journey of discovering her worth. Chase was always so thoughtful, completely in tune with her comfort and needs.
As their friendship becomes tested, you could truly feel the anguish both were feeling, creating the perfect tension. This story features the most swoonworthy one-tent scene, let me tell you. And so much humour throughout!
Having a rocky relationship with his own father, it was super heartwarming to see Chase ingrained so perfectly with Harper's brothers and father. They were such a lovable bunch of men, and I cannot wait to read more about them.

Boy, Emma did it again!!
She's killing this love cliche's series
I was so happy to read this😁
Harper is an amazing woman .. she's full of strength and vulnerablity
After reading how much chase loved her and you know he's been showing it since years and I was caught .. tell me If I wasn't shouting at Harper to tell him the truth and boy he'll love you 😂( yes, my sister though I was mad)

4.3 ⭐️
No soy fan del cliché "friends to lovers", pero Emma St. Claire supo escribirlo para tenerme ansiosa porque estuviesen juntos de una vez.
La trama me pareció súper ligera, era sobre estos mejores amigos que están enamorados pero por ciertos motivos no lo dicen. Aún así pasan cosas que te tienen casi comiéndote las uñas esperando que no pase nada malo y que sean felices de una vez.
Los personajes son súper tiernos, no son mis favoritos en la serie, pero si que disfruté leyéndolos. Chase es un amor de persona, siempre pendiente de si Harper se sentía bien o si podía hacer algo para ayudarla. Es un hombre leal y muy bueno. Nuestra querida protagonista es terca, ambiciosa, inteligente y sin duda alguna un ejemplo de mujer en el día a día. Hay cosas que le tocan vivir en una sociedad machista que duelen verla pasar.
Algo que quiero recalcar es lo que hace la autora con el tema de Harper (no diré que cosa para no hacer spoiler, pero si eres curiosx al final de la reseña pondré que es). Me gusta que no haya hecho todo un drama con eso y que simplemente fuese parte de ella, no algo que la define.
¿Lo recomiendo? Si, es un libro buenísimo y si eres fan de este cliché. Probablemente te guste.
🚨SPOILER ALERT 🚨
Lo que tiene Harper es un Asperger con algunas sensibilidades al tacto o ruido, distintas cosas.
No es algo diagnosticado, pero tiene todos los "síntomas".

Perfect for fans of Sarah Adams, this was an entertaining dual perspective, best friends to lovers clean romance featuring a neurodiverse woman with sensory processing issues. I enjoyed the strong female lead who is both a math whiz AND a physical trainer. For me this was a little too much of a slow burn. The two MCs take forever to finally get together. On the plus side there is a cute baby goat and lots of great banter/funny side characters. Overall it was a good read and I'll definitely check out the other books in the author's Love Cliches series. Good on audio with two narrators.

This book heavily focuses on Harper’s personality challenges. It felt a bit off balanced to me. I did get a kick out of one of Chase’s dates. Too funny! But I didn’t really enjoy this story and since I loved the first 3 in this series so much I wonder if it’s just me, (probably) I really liked Abby in Falling For My Best Friend’s Twin but to be honest, she was a bit over the top in this one. Im still looking forward to the final book, who doesn’t love “enemy to lovers” stories!

If we really love people, we shouldn't be hiding any aspect of who we are. Part of love is being willing to tell the truth- in all areas."Friends to lovers" isn't my favorite trope, but if it's written right I might just like it and Emma St. Clair was able to make me feel good.
Harper and her story about her trying to find out why she is the way she is was understandable but I feel like it was kind of rushed and missed a few steps here and there (unless I missed something, maybe from other books).
Chase, on the other hand, was a well-written character, his love for Harper is obvious and he would do anything for her.
I enjoyed the second part of the book more - especially the scenes with the goat and their camping trip for work. (The tent scene was cool 🥰).
I didn't read any previous books from the Love Clichés series but it wasn't a big issue for me to get involved with the story.
Kissing only scenes.

This is one of my very favorite series right now. You really should start with Falling for Your Best Friend’s Twin and read them in order. They will make so much more sense that way.
I was so glad to get to read Harper’s story. I loved that she isn’t your typical heroine. Harper has a hard time with a few things. And the reader gets to go along on her journey of discovery and learn with her just why she does. But Harper isn’t unlovable and I love the way she learns that.
Chase is her best friend. I have to admit there were many parts in this one that it didn’t seem like things would ever work out. Along the way, there are plenty of funny things that happen. Terrible blind dates, goats and a skunk. You really need to read this one!
I loved the humor of this one. And the epilogue is so perfect for the ending of this one. I can’t wait to read Sam’s story too.
I was sent an e-copy of Falling for Your Best Friend as a gift from the author. All opinions are my own.

I love Harper. I wasn't certain about her when I started this series, but then...yeah. I adore her. I love how she is a well-rounded, awesome woman with goals, ambition, and a secret. She's in love with her best friend. But she's got some issues - and they aren't skin-deep, stupid issues, either. They're real. They're deep. And she doesn't know how to handle them AND letting her best friend know she's been in love with him for a long time. This is an incredible story - this whole series is wonderful. LOVED this one.
January 15, 2023
This darling story is full of heart! Not only does this author tastefully tackle a neurodivergent character, but she infuses the tricky trappings of a friends-to-love romance with a healthy dose of humor.
Harper is such a driven and strong character, both physically and mentally, but she recognizes that she may be dealing with something big. Her dad and brothers are so protective and are such a great group of men, along with her best friend, Chase.
I loved Chase and Harper! Their support and encouragement of each other warmed my heart, but I especially loved watching them explore their deep feelings.
From skunk sprays, to baby goats, to job hazards, to an amazing group of friends, this story was full of warm fuzzies and laughs. Another great addition to the Love Cliche series!

Much better than the rest of the series. Review to come.
November 1, 2021
I love the "Love Cliche's" Series and this was no different, although, it had a slightly different feel and was less rom-commy and more tear your heart out while still making you smile vibe to it. And I did tear up in places. I look forward to the next one. The last one! Aww, now I'm sad again. :)
June 24, 2021
I usually like a friends to lovers book but this was just dragged with both characters being so stubborn and not doing anything about their attraction. I did like Harper's self realization and the friendship among the group but this wasn't as good or as funny as the novella I read by the author.
November 16, 2021
More characters like Harper please!
May 22, 2021
This book was everything I expected and more. I had wanted to know the story of Harper and Chase ever since I read about them in one of the books from the series (I don't remember which😜). I had forgotten about this release until I saw the notification that a book from my wishlist had been released. I didn't wait and just downloaded it for reading. There were lots of Hunger Game references which I enjoyed. I also got to learn about Asperger Syndrome, which was something new to me. And I also liked how the relationship between Harper and Chase progressed. There were lots of hilarious moments that I enjoyed a lot.
This book here is just amazing!!!! If you are looking for a rom-com, then this one is surely for you.
Happy Reading!!📚

LOVING THIS SERIES.
BLOG || INSTAGRAM
These books just bring out the smiles. Enjoyable quick reads with predictably that feels like a comfort and balm to a bad day. I’m so glad I started reading them!
Diving into this one, my favorite part was the growth in Harper. I loved watching her make mistakes, learn about herself and love who she is. I loved even more the support around Harper. I think a lot of the situations were handled well and you could see the love through her family and friends. Harper found her true identity and that was the best part of the story.
I adored Chase and thought he was absolutely precious. I thought some of his inner monologue became repetitive. I knew he loved Harper, but I also didn’t need it repeated 100 times to get the picture. Chase and Harper had some great banter and I love the soft flirtations between them.
The only other thing that bugged me was one of Harper’s friends, Sam. I don’t like the role she played in this book and it felt forced. I actually haven’t loved her character over the whole series so I’m curious how her book will play out next.
Another great story set in Austin, Texas. I love this cast and how each story feels different and really gives a new side to each character. The humor is great. And goodness do I love the super sweet epilogues every time!!
Overall audience notes:
- Contemporary romance
- Language: none
- Romance: kisses
- Trigger/Content Warnings: brief sexual harassment (including on social media)

Be still my beating heart! Let me just start by saying that friends to lovers is not my favorite trope - not even in my top 3.
After this book, I am going to have to reconsider that.
Chase and Harper have been best friends for six years...which is almost the same amount of time that they have been in love with each other without actually telling each other how they feel. Both have reasons for keeping quiet and their journey of learning to trust each other with their feelings - including Harper's discovery of why she struggles with aspects of life - is beautiful and poignant and heart wrenching! I was so invested in these characters that I legit cried. There are so many funny moments that made me laugh even as I swooned over Chase's determination and his sensitivity to Harper's needs.
With every book in this series, I keep thinking it's my new favorite...until I go back and re-read parts of a previous book. I guess I just need to say that my favorite is whichever one I am currently reading because I LOVE them all and highly recommend them to anyone who enjoys sweet, hilarious rom coms.
I received a complimentary copy of the book but a positive review was not required.

I enjoyed it so much!
.
A few things to note: the beard. Guys, the beard. 😍😍
The skunk! The goat. Harper's dad and brothers- they are so fun!
But ultimately, what I loved the most is Harper and Chase. Their dynamic, their chemistry, their relationship is just so sweet and good and kind. They are completely motivated by their desire for the other to have the best possible life and it's 7 kinds of adorable.
.
I absolutely recommend this book. It's just so so cute and I am actively excited for Sam's story!

What a sweet book! Harper's growth was great, and Chase was just the best love interest. Really appreciated reading about a neurodivergent character!

LOVED this one! Author did a fantastic job with the neurodivergent lead female character and the man who loves her ♥️ Super clean, closed door romance. Love how he loves her.

I'm a total sucker for best friends to lovers stories. While I really enjoyed this, there were a few ways this missed the mark for me. The first and foremost is that Chase wasn't sold on the friendship. It was only an end goal to get to something more for him for a while. When the friendships are real and solid, usually you see that the couples are so cautious because they don't want to screw up that friendship. He was quick to let the relationship go if she didn't want more when it came time for him to try to cross that line. It took away from his feelings for her.
And then I didn't at all like the way he handled the dating situation Sam put him in.
Things I absolutely loved ~ when Harper's dad and brother wrapped Chase up in a hug. I was a complete pile of mush. It was one of the sweetest guy moments I've read in a book. And then what Chase does for her after he sees what she's been struggling with - so sweet!
One weird thing. There was so much attention put on her problems with touch. Even kissing took quite a while for the two of them. My problem is that sex was never mentioned. That would have been a big relevant hurdle, but it wasn't addressed at all after they got together.
This is book 5 in this series. Someone please tell me that Sam and Grandpa Gosling will somehow be paired up in a future book in this series?!?! Either way, I definitely enjoyed this enough to want to read the other books in this series.
