The Crush by Penelope Ward
5.0

Farrah has had a crush on her brothers best friend, Jace, for as long as she can remember but never dreamed that he would return any sort of feelings for her.

Farrah and her brother, Nathan, lost their parents tragically when they were younger and Jace was a witness to their deaths. The events of that day haunted all of them, especially Jace. There are things about that day that Jace never expressed to Farrah and things that could ruin everything between them.

There are so many different feelings and emotions between Jace and Farrah. They feel comfortable together, they can easily open about most things to each other. Jace doesn’t want to act upon his feelings because doesn’t feel like he is good enough, he doesn’t want to lose Farrah or Nathan. There is so much chemistry and tension between them throughout the story and it just continues to grow until it all boils over. Their story isn’t an easy one, it is emotional and a slow burn with some forbidden vibes to it but it is completely worth the wait.

If you’re looking for an angsty, slow burn, second chance romance with a forbidden aspect this one is a must read!
