Some writers have a gift. A gift to share more than we can ever imagine that we actually need through their words and stories.

And one of the best authors like that is Penny Reid for me. I was captivated with bits and small scenes about Dan the security man years ago and thus, I’ve read everything she has ever written.

Perhaps Some will argue about learning from the main characters in a fictional story, but over the years, Reid has made me stop and think twice about my close friends and relationships and how I would actually need to feel around them.

“Ten trends to seduce your best friend” is no exception. Winnie and Byron have my love eternally. They are like yin and yang, two different halves, with their own person, feelings and dreams and life overall, totally opposite piece that can't exist one after the other because they match so perfectly together. I loved the fact that we get dual pov and while Byron’s are lesser than Winnie’s, his inner thoughts and feelings just balances everything out.

A slow burn that is hard to put down, this romance book is way more than that, it's a must read story of friendship and acceptance and love, one that comes with everything in between, from challenges to social pressure, from fear of opening up to trust and of course, from a tiny spark that will catch fire in seconds to a well deserved happily ever after.

I'm not good at using big words in my review but I would use all the superlatives from the dictionary for this story.
