Joey is a quiet, introspective woman, soon to turn thirty, an age she was never expected to reach. Kelsie is her best friend and long-time secret crush, outgoing and the life and soul of the party - usually parties planned by her.
Joey asks Kelsie to plan her special ‘cheating death’ thirtieth birthday party. She also hopes that finally she can tell Kelsie how she feels about her.
This is an instalove novella, quite superficial, but a whole lot of fun.

Fun, cute story about Joey (a construction worker) and Kelsie (a party planner). Joey beat cancer and has made it to thirty, despite what the doctors said, so she gets best friend Kelsie to throw her a big party in celebration. This is news to Kelsie, since Joey is usually an introvert that prefers to stay home and game online.
Oh, and they're both in love with each other.
The book alternates perspective with each chapter, but we don't get to see any of Joey's work or home life.
There's some manufactured drama that arises late in the book that seems to exist just to create some sort of conflict, and it's pretty dumb. It happens in one chapter, Joey mopes about it and talks with her mom in the next, and Joey and Kelsie reconcile in the one after that. Then there's the epilogue, and the story's over. Instead of that, maybe show Joey on a job site or gaming with one of her online friends?
There are a few typos that pulled me out of the story. Regarding the cover image, the blonde one is supposed to be Joey, but Kelsie describes her as small, and cover Joey is clearly taller than cover Kelsie.
I recognize a coffee shop as being from another novel in this series, and I think Kelsie and Joey's two friends might be main characters from another novel as well, so that's neat.
Overall, a fun story.

Joey had a very unorthodox upbringing!
First was leukemia to be fought against, then home schooled till eight grade and lets not talk about social skills. Joey has a friend, a best friend Kelsie and she begins to think about a forever thing with her. But how do you do that? Remember she was home bound for a lot of years but Kelsie stayed with her. What is happening to her? Why does she feel this way? Enjoy the journey!

3 stars. Was going great but then fell off hard with the dumbass third act drama. Joey is incredibly immature and annoying and the drama really brought this down for me. So unfortunate because up until that point it was a solid four star for me.

Blow up the cover of that book. Maybe it's me, but that is the cutest looking couple in love I have ever seen. Rarely does a cover match so well with the written word. Can someone find a more appropriate cover that will stay with you month after month regardless of what you read?
