Liam Davies and Zoe Valentine have had a contentious relationship for the better part of a decade. When tragedy strikes and the best friends that brought them together both die in a car crash the pair are forced to reexamine their relationship. To their surprise, they have both been granted co-guardianship of their 3 year old god daughter, Mira. Zoe steps up immediately while Liam has some demons giving him pause about the whole parenting thing.
When this story was teased in the first book for the Best Men series, The Best Laid Plans, I was ecstatic as the movie Life as We Know It is one of my favs! The Best of All did not disappoint, I couldn’t read it fast enough. In spite of the extremely heavy subject, Sorensen found ways to make me laugh throughout this book while also pulling on my heart strings big time! My only complaint is that I wish we got more time in the story with Liam and Zoe as a couple. Overall, I would definitely recommend this series but remember to check trigger warnings!
In The Best of All we get:
-slow burn
-forced proximity
-he falls first
-enemies to lovers
-sports romance (football)
-a zany octogenarian book club
4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
