The book starts with them in seventh grade and ends with them as juniors in high school. Instead of just being told how they’ve been friends forever and are best friends, we get to experience their friendship from the start. I felt a good connection to both characters and it kept me from getting overly upset at one of them when they did something stupid.įriends-to-more is one of my favorite romance tropes and, as I mentioned above, it’s done really well here. I really loved this narrative style and thought it really worked for the story. The story was told in alternating first person POV and between each chapter there was a short passage of them bantering back and forth about what just happened in the preceding chapter. I loved their bantering and their friendship and how they were there for each other. I decided to give it a try and I’m so glad that I did! It was such a well done friends-to-more story. I loved this book! I was caught up with all my current books and didn’t know what to read so I started searching through all the “available now” titles at the library and this was the only one to really grab my interest. are they more than friends or are they better off without making it even more complicated? Guys won’t ask Macallan out because they think she’s with Levi, and Levi spends too much time joking around with Macallan, and maybe not enough time with his date. They are platonic and happy that way.Įventually they realize they’re best friends - which wouldn’t be so bad if they didn’t keep getting in each other’s way. They hang out after school, share tons of inside jokes, their families are super close, and Levi even starts dating one of Macallan’s friends.

Everyone says guys and girls can’t be just friends, but these two are. For Macallan and Levi, it was friends at first sight.
