The Next Best Fling by Gabriella Gamez
4.5
hopeful medium-paced
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes


How can I resist a book that involves a librarian and a best friend brother. This story is a bit messy with Marcela's friend who she has been pinning for Ben is getting married. Marcela catches Theo practicing his declaration for Ben's fiance and stops him. They decide to be fake date and their story starts there. I love the plus size representation and the insecurities of Theo as well. I really enjoyed the two together with great banter and steamy scenes. I wasn't a fan of Ben and Alice's relationship and how it turned out seemed abrupt. Overall, this was a great debut and I will look forward the next book Gamez writes. 

Thank you @readforeverpub for a copy of this book.
