The Friendship Pact by Jill Shalvis
2.0

Every character in this book needs to go to therapy. Honestly, that's my main takeaway. This is my least favorite Shalvis book in a while-- a lot of choices just made no sense to me. It's the typical Alpha-no-nonsense-tough-guy, which I'm honestly kind of tired of from her! The fact that Riggs and Jake get in a legitimate physical fight, and not just a joking around one, is not amusing or logical-- it just showed that they have a serious amount of anger issues (therapyyyyy) and no control over their emotions. The whole situation with Tae's father... in what world is that how that would/should play out (please lord, get some therapy)?. It was just overall a big NO from me on this one. Really hoping for more from Shalvis in her next book. I would love some variety!
