Surprising Us

Solving Us #1.5

by Susan Renee

Life is full of surprises. You never know who you’re going to meet that will change your life forever. Austin Rivers literally walked into Abby Sheridan’s life one very hot summer day carrying another girl in his arms. Despite that girl being her best friend and roommate, Olivia, one look was all it took for Abby to know she needed to be with him. “Riv” is everything she would’ve never looked for in a man. It’s true what they say, at least for Abby and Austin, that opposites attract. Their life has been one exciting adventure after another, but when Abby receives the surprise of a lifetime, she fears a bump in the road might mean the end of their journey together.

[Cathy Black · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the story of best friends growing up and each one finding there way with their partner. We have Abby Sheridan and Olivia McGuire. Abby and Olivia are best friends and they are each getting ready to live with their boyfriends. Abby is moving in with her friend Austin Rivers and Olivia is staying in the apartment they were roommates in with her boyfriend Finn. Olivia and Finn are planning on getting married in the fall and Abby and Austin aka Riv are planning on just getting to know each other as a couple. This was a sweet novella about growing up dealing with surprises life throws us along the way. I needed more but since it is a novella I rate it for what it is. I think this could be turned into a series with each of the friends having a what happens next book.

It was a surprise!

The title for this book is perfect for the events happening. I like Austin and Abby together. Abby is the perfect compliment to Olivia. I like how they both value their friendship so much. Susan always does a great job with her characters personalities. I felt Austin a little too unbelievable, I wish I couldn’t pinpoint why, but I think it was just his reaction to the situation after other comments. Overall this story compliments Solving Us and gives you a look into the best friends of those main characters.
