“Love is friendship, but it is friendship with fire in its belly.” – 3/5 stars!

Attention! This book contains: breakfast burritos, lessons, glasses, cucumbers, and cute cats.

She says she needs some help … in the bedroom.

Come again? No, really come again.

Sweet, nerdy, lovable Keaton.

She’s my best friend and has been for years. Sure she likes numbers and math, and thinks doing other people’s taxes is fun. And I like … none of that stuff. She’s obsessed with her cat and reads novels I’ll never understand, and yet we just click. There’s no one I’d rather share breakfast burritos with or binge watch hours of Netflix. She’s my person. And so when she takes off her glasses and asks me to help her improve her skills in the bedroom, I barely have to think about it.

Of course I’ll help her. There’s no one better for the job.

I’ve been there for her through everything, why should this be any different?

But what happens when she’s ready to take her new-found confidence and move on?

I love romance books… but this in particular was not very memorable to me – I read it one or two weeks ago, and surprisingly I can’t remember the details! After some thought, I believe I’m being nice to give it a 3-star rating.
The characters were bland and had no chemistry. The guy is the popular type and the girl is the nerdy one. After peer judgment, she becomes self-conscious about her sex skills and asks her best friend to help her improve them. Of course, they eventually develop feelings for each other, and that’s what the story is about. As you can probably tell, this has a friends-to-lovers trope – they became friends in college and have been friends ever since -, and also a sex ed kind of trope as well.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind cliché – but I really didn’t care about these characters and plot. I just couldn’t connect with them.
On a positive note, it’s a book that is easy to digest and go through. It was entertaining to some extent, but I didn’t feel a lot. I like Kendall Ryan’s books, so I’m going to keep reading from her. But this was mostly a miss from me.
