*I received a copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this opportunity.*

Samantha and Carter are best friends. BEST friends. They've been intertwined in each other's lives since middle school, and now, much like a clown-fish and an anemone, they can't survive without the other. The only problem? They are both disgustingly in love with the other.

Buckle in, and get reading for a friends-to-lovers, mutual pining/unrequited love, "sworn off a relationship" mess. There's also a sub plot about sabotaging a wedding and a delightfully grumpy old woman named Gertie. This book is a PG-13 romance, with only vague references to sex and no language, and would be appropriate for a younger reader.

The thing I didn't love about this book: Samantha has very strong 'I'm not like other girls' vibes, which can be exhausting to listen to. However, the author did a good job of giving her character depth and internal conflict that is outside of the impending romantic relationship.

Overall, MAID OF DISHONOR is a light read full of fun banter, perfect for the summer season!
