When Keeping it cute gets real
Just like book 1, this booked packed alot. I was really surprised that Lauren was still in her relationship with Trevor. Jace still had all the men lol! Tiana was a bit more lax to me. They all were going through things and yet they managed to still hold each other down. I'm so happy Lauren finally cussed out Trevor's family and let Trevor know that he was really dropping the ball, hated that he lost himself because I felt he was good for her. Her father situation was so sad. Jace giving therapy a chance was a good look for her. I hate she always put Cameron on the back burner, but her lil yea seems promising. As for Tiana, baby , I'm so happy that she finally started to live for her...find her happiness. Good read, but I feel like I still need more, like their stories aren't complete. Can't wait for the 3rd installment.

Keep It Between Us was exactly what I hoped it would be.
This isn't just a romance—it's a story about friendship, healing, growth, and figuring out who you are when life starts shifting in your 30s. The characters felt so authentic that I found pieces of myself in each of the besties.
It had me laughing, emotional, and ready to fight a few people (if you know, you know 🤭). T. Yasmeen handled every storyline with care, making this a sequel that was absolutely worth the wait.
If you enjoyed Keep It Cute, don't hesitate—go catch up with the besties.

Ahh I loved this even more than the first. Jace, Tiana and Lauren-Giselle are all facing some heavy transitions and just doing life and I feel like in a lot of ways their journeys were relatable and raw. This book really kept me engaged-I laughed, I teared up and I felt seen. Excited to see what book 3 will hold, but also want to sit with this one just a little bit longer. A beautiful read and the first book I annotated-definitely check it out!

Keep It Between Us was a good read! It’s a story about growth, healing, and the true meaning of friendship. I loved how each character was navigating their own personal struggles while their friendship remained genuine and solid. They were all figuring out their own paths, but their bond never got lost in the process. I really enjoyed seeing their individual journeys unfold and how they continued to show up for one another.

I absolutely LOVED this book! The romance was good, but the FRIENDSHIP, healing, therapy, and personal growth are what really made this story hit for me. I loved watching these characters work through their mess, love each other through it, and GROW. Jace, baby, I love you DOWN! 😂 This entire series was such a good time. Easy 5 stars for me!
