Falling for Your Best Friend

"Sweet Book 4 (Love Cliches) - childhood best friends finally admit they like each other but her autism makes it hard for her to open up "

"I have really tried to fall in love with this series. It’s a great concept: a series following 5 friends who each have a different trope for their love story. And it’s so hard to find clean romance series. I’ll be the first in line for a cheesy, corny romance, but I just didn’t care for the writing style and storytelling. Having said that, this was my favorite one because of the FMC Harper and her story, one you don’t see often in romance novels. But even with that, so much of this book felt like it was “filling space” to make it longer. I listened to 3 of the 5 books on audiobooks and I didn’t like the narrators’ voices - may also be why I didn’t fall in love with it."

"She finds out she's on the spectrum and isn't sure how to navigate being in a relationship. (This book is absolutely adorable go read it.)"

"Loved it thanks! I loved how Harper was written and how the author showed asperger syndrome and sensory issues. I loved that the author didn’t make it a flaw or something the Harper needed to “get over” I loved it. Quality writing"

"3/5 ⭐️ This book was so interesting because there were aspects I thought were done really well and loved but others that didn’t really connect with me. In my opinion, I thought the author handled the female lead with such care. You could tell she put in a ton of research, and this character, who is neurodivergent, didn’t feel like a stereotype but like a real person. I loved watching her navigate her family and friendships even if I wasn’t as big a fan of the romance. I found this book because I was looking for more closed door romances, and that was also a really refreshing aspect of this book. I think for me, my biggest issue was that I didn’t connect with the leads as much as I wanted to. I wasn’t really feeling the beginning of this book, and though they grew on me, I think most of the book was just fine. This book had a large cast of a friend group which was honestly a bit difficult for me to keep up with (which is kinda on me for starting with the 5th book of an interconnected standalone series). There was also something about the male lead I didn’t love - I have a personal bias against his kind of character (guys who become friends with girls because they want to date them in the future). I am interested in reading more from this author in the future though, and I was looking through some of her other titles which I’m hoping might be more my thing."
