I downloaded this book based off a TikTok from the author. I’m a sucker for brother’s best friend. 

Whew boy, where to start. I think I read 2 different books under 1 title. This started out a delicious little Romcom. But by the ending we took a straight 270 and veered left into something emotional that wasn’t really at the beginning? The premise is the FMC wants her brother’s best friend (MMC) to take her virginity.
Now he does, I think around 60% mark. So whoa, early conflict resolution and I think this is where it started to veer off.
I LOVED the beginning of this book. The banter was ✨perfection✨ I haven’t read banter that good in a long, long time. The FMC was adorably quirky and then lost it half way through the book. Like she got a personality transplant. Then the end happened and ok, I can see where it went where it did. Full circle for the MMC. But the epilogue was unnecessary and completely unbelievable. Ruined the book for me. I was hate reading it at the end.
