The Friend Scheme by Cale Dietrich
4.0

Can I please start by absolutely fawning over this GORGEOUS cover? Like ?? This is amazing.
Honestly. Showstopping. Spectakular. I love it so much.
I could look at it all the time.

Anyway! Onwards!
I really really liked this book! It was intense and funny and romantic and cute and sad and... just all of the feelings.
Due to Matt's disposition and especially his feelings towards the family business, I sometimes was surprised when the Mafia came back into play again, like I'd just completely forget about that while reading about the relationship before something family related would happen again but in the end I found that I didn't mind. Because it was probably how Matt felt, too. He concerned himself with things that he liked such as music (he btw. has my exact music taste so I am here for it), films and books and to forget about this other side of his life. Which I think is quite fair if you have an uncle who enjoys torturing people, eh?

So, all in all, big fan of this book and am very excited about it :)
