Oooo

Okay Jean jump in in daddy mode. BDE was oozing from him. Luke was raggedy. Omg just horrible. I’m glad Kam had Jean and Andrea

Quick read. I just wish I could’ve seen a bit more chemistry between the characters. Yes it’s a novella and suppose to be quick but I felt like the relationship felt rushed. But overall the storyline was good and it held my attention.

Now imagine you out on a couples trip with your man your best friends. You are having thoughts about your man and realizing how he really isn’t present but your friends are. Even with that you believe that everything is good. Imagine your surprise when you walk into your suite to check on your “sick” boyfriend and he’s cheating on you. This is where the story begins for Kambri.

Ms. Bash did her thing with this why choose. I love when a couple comes in and shows you that you they can be everything that you have been missing and more. The way that Jean and Andrea step up and showed their love for her from the very beginning. It was sweet and flowed so naturally. I loved how the love, affection and support was forced and Kambri was the missing piece to their puzzle that they didn’t know that they needed.
One thing I will say is that ML Bash knows how to write a why choose and I’m going to eat them up every time. It wasn’t heavy on the spice but the writing was soooo good that it wasn’t even missed.

Cozy and Jubilant

I really enjoyed this read. It was paced well and had really good healthy communication and thoughtfulness. I loved how unhinged, but protective Andrea and Jean were. Despite Luke's nastiness, Kambri had two wonderful best friends to support her. Them being there for her even in a non-romantic way touched my heart. Also, I loved the spicy scene, I was especially pleased with the checking in that happened. I do wish there had a better physical descriptor for Kambri and Andrea, but my imagination filled the blanks for two beautiful, short black women. 😂 🖤🤌🏾

I wish I could have a free bag of chips

😮‍💨Man oh man, I never thought I wanted to be in a throple until I read about it. Especially the sex scene! It was something that I’ve definitely watched on one of those websites. Lol overall this book gave me ideas that I never thought I’d have. What I will say is I only wish it had more than one sex scene. I really wanted a little bit more spice. I wanted a round 2 or three. Jean is the type of man that all women want, I’m happy Andrea and Kam was able to get him. I definitely have to check out more of this author’s books

It was ok. Why choose stories can be fun when there’s a solid plot behind all the chaos, but this one’s length made it hard to really connect. The backstories didn’t have enough time to develop, so I never got fully invested in Jean, Andrea, or Kambri.

And why is everybody always about that life? 😭 Sometimes seeing your woman cry should be enough to make you handle that light work, no need for him to have had another life. But ok lol.

Cute concept, just needed more depth and less rush.

One for Two

First off I love the dynamic of everyone! I love that everyone were good friends! Luke was a 🐕 & he deserved what he got plus he needed more! Kambri was sweet, not naive but trusting until proving that she gave it to the wrong one! But I’m glad she had Andrea & Jean! Those 2 were the perfect dynamic you’d need if you wanted to add more! I loved the spice & it the perfect amount for this length of a book! Great work!!!

I need two!

I love a good love story & this one was written perfectly.
It has the extra sweetness of “friends to lovers” + the satisfaction of “why choose?”
& I’m a new fan of the “why choose?”, but baby I love it here! [because why can’t I have both?]
I was giddy, kicking my feet, & feeling all of the feels while I read.
I didn’t want things to end. lol.

please read the book!

P.S.
“F**K LUKE!”

ML Bash knows she can write a why choose book!! The way this short read had you ready to fight ole boy and his ass backward way of thinking just proves he was not it. Just trifling. Kambri had the perfect landing pad though and I’m glad she didn’t have to go through that alone. However, baby they way Kam Andrea and Jean just flowed should be studied. Loved that they were always there for each other and supported Kam as if she always was theirs!! The friends to lovers was sweet and glad everyone was on the same page. The spice was just right too!!!

Hot, Messy & Addictive

One for Two was a bold, juicy read with strong chemistry and nonstop tension. The characters were emotional, flawed, and completely pulled me into their world. I loved the grown-folk drama, the slow-burn moments, and the way the story kept twisting when I thought I had it figured out. It was messy in the best way and hard to put down. If you love intense romance with real heat and real feelings, this one is for you.

Kambri, Jean, and Andrea

Quick Novella but I do wish this could have been a little longer. It had a little bit of everything in a short span of time. I love a good poly relationship!!!

I loved this quick read! My first introduction to M.L. Bash and I was grinning and blushing as soon as this story began. The FMC were so lovable their friendship at the core. Jean is that guys period.

Friends to why choose

Who knew a trip would end in why choose. I loved how Jean and Andrea were down for Kambria. Great short read with all the feels and spice.

[Ailiayaha · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Ashlyn · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book gave me everything! I loved how the MMC was there to love and take care of both of the FMC. The way her turned up for his girl was just amazing.
