Self-proclaimed romance junkie. Lover of music. Too invested in the lives of fictional characters. Bestselling author Lexi Kingston has been enamored by fictional worlds since she was a child. She became obsessed with the allure of crafting characters people could relate to.
Lexi writes sweet, no spice contemporary romance (Lexi Kingston) and paranormal romance (Lexi J. Kingston) books with characters who fight for and find home in each other.
When she’s not plotting or writing, she’s likely submerged in a book. And when she’s not reading… well, she’s probably writing again because she’s a workaholic who loves her job.
Beckett and Mackenzie have been friends since adolescence. They’ve watched each other date, they’ve seen each other through it all. When a friend mistaken a silly moment between the two to mean they’re engaged, she tells enough people that the rumor gains traction. Before they know it, Beck and Mack are in a situation where they may have to go along with this rumor rather than deny it. Could their relationship move past best friendship, would it be better to not explore in order to preserve it?
This was a very cute, wholesome read. As I was reading through it I thought of all the rom coms I used to watch in the early 2000’s. Beck and Mack have such a sweet relationship. I appreciate that this book didn’t make me suffer painful tropes to get the point across.
*4 stars* This was my first read by this author and definitely won't be my last one. I have really enjoyed reading this story and loved the chemistry between Mackenzie (Mac) and Beckett. It was a best friends to lovers romance and even with their young age, I truly adored the relationship they had with each other. A great read!

Loved it! This was such a fun quick read. I love childhood friends to lovers novels. I have read other novels by this author and enjoyed them. This novel did not disappoint. I love when I find a novel that is sweet and has a small town romance theme. This novel was just fun to read. I loved Beckett and Mac. I loved that their friendship spanned years since they were children. I love the history in their relationship. I loved their chemistry. It was fun watching them both realise that they were each other's person. Loved watching them recognize and accept their love for each other. I loved it. I love a sweet romance that just makes me feel good inside. I can't wait to see what this author has coming next.
