Ah the “just friends” trope. I don’t always like this particular storyline but I did enjoy the way this one was handled. It was done with minimal miscommunication- it’s more like denial on both parts which is easier for me to deal with. I actually find it pretty funny. 

There’s plenty of drama in this book but it’s well balanced so it doesn’t feel heavy at all. We deal with lots of feelings and I felt the characters really did have a handle on themselves. I found myself relating to the main female character and how she responds to the elaborate gifts the main male character buys without much of a thought. It’s the differences in their financial status that really resonate with me and it was definitely realistic. 

I really enjoyed the dual POV and the dual narrators to go along with it. Having both a male and female voice to voice the characters POVs really added to the experience for the book.
