From the outside looking in, they seem happy. There’s one problem—Havana. Janiyah and Havana have been friends since forever—their bond unbreakable. They have always been there to pick up the other’s pieces. Like any other time, Janiyah is there for Havana. But one tearful vent session turned sexual, bringing out feelings Havana didn’t know she had. What happens when Havana realizes she fell in love, but Janiyah feels they made a mistake?

4 stars. I knew people like Havana and Janiyah. Liked each other but played too many games and weren’t the best for each other. They’re exhausting. However, these two actually matured and grew and their relationship ended up being something beautiful. Still exhausting though. I’m the friend that roots for you but will shake my head at all of your foolishness while still hyping you up. That’s me and that was me with this book.

Both characters are in relationships at the beginning of the book but have feelings for each other. Havana swears up and down that she’s not into women but Janiyah is the exception. There’s a lot of drama and back and forth between them and while it stressed me out I was thoroughly entertained. The third act was really explosive and I didn’t see it coming at all but it had me glued to my kindle. The ending was wonderful and it was nice to see these two get their HEA. For this to be less than 200 pages it is jam packed and it was really good.

Cherish Amore’s "Identically Entangled" explores the delicate balance between friendship and romance as two best friends finally confront their mutual attraction. After crossing the line into romance, they must navigate the emotional challenges to determine if their friendship can survive the change. The characters are relatable, and Amore’s straightforward writing makes for a quick and engaging read. While the plot is somewhat predictable and lacks depth, it effectively captures the emotional stakes of transitioning from friends to lovers. Overall, it’s a decent read for fans of the friends-to-lovers trope.

editing? not great.
realistic? no not really at all.

(especially because how are a call center manager and a foot locker manager only wearing louis vuitton, chanel, and tom ford????)

but was it entertaining? yes.

I couldn’t even finish the second chapter. This is utterly ridiculous. Why would you make the main character a 5 year old kid in the beginning of a lesbian romance? The beginning of the book did it for me. 2 stars for the title and cover.
