Cherish and ju had been best friends their entire lives, and when feelings began to change, life did also. Ju received an amazing opportunity to advance his career, and at the same time, Cherish received a blow that would change her forever! What do friends do when life is pulling them in different directions? Although Ju wanted to be there for his friend, he had responsibilities and obligations to himself and his new job. I understand that Cherish wanted her friend to be there, but she was selfish thinking he would drop everything to be there for her.
I could tell there is chemistry between these two, but the read moved so quickly, I couldn't feel it. Liked the premise of the story, but just okay for me.

This book had a very sad start but a really sweet ending. I’m a sucker for friends to lovers so that’s always a win in my book.

A must read!!!
Cherish and Ju grew up together and the more they spent time with each other, their feelings started to change for each other. When Ju received a job promotion and was moving, Cherish was not happy, but she understood, until the most devastating thing happened to her. Picking up two years later, Ju comes home to celebrate with Cherish and family. Deciding to take Cherish on a much needed week long vacation, Cherish realized she really needed a change and could possibly do it with Ju. This book was so good. I loved Cherish and Ju relationship and was glad they were their for each other. Cherish story broke my heart when she went through her loss. BriAnn is becoming a new fave of mine!!!

When two have a lifelong friendship and cross the friend boundaries, are they destined for heartbreak or could it be the best thing that ever happened? This short between Cherish and Ju will show one way it definitely can go. It was already destined

Short but oh so sweet💞
I felt so many emotions while reading this book. BriAnn Danae did her thing with this story. The love Cherish and Ju had can only be experienced once in a lifetime and I feel so blessed to have known what that type of Love really feels like.

Beautiful! Short, sweet and romantic love story. Although there were some very sad events in this book, it showed how a great friendship could turn into a very powerful love. I love how these families and friends united together to protect their own when a tragic event occurred. I loved Cherish and Ju’s friendship/relationship. Would definitely recommend this book to read.

Great read
Cherish and Ju had a great friend ship. I'm glad they were able to make it happen. My heart broke for Cherish when she lost baby girl.

Why do you shatter my heart, only to piece it back together? 🥺 I wept for Cherish, but I’m grateful she found healing in the arms of the man she truly deserved.

this was literally the perfect sweetest shortest story. 🥹 Love stories gone do it for me every time.
Short. Bittersweet. Sad. A story that I really enjoyed. This story was filled with pain, heartbreak, friendship and love. We never really understand time until we wake up one day and time is no longer on our side. Ju and Cherish definitely had to learn this. Cherish and Ju's lifelong friendship was one that couldn't be taken for granted. Always being in each others lives, wanting to cross that bridge with each other but the timing was off. As they reconnected after a tragic loss, feelings were revealed which makes their moment in time the beginning of a lifetime of forever love. Beautiful story.

Simply Perfect!!! Perfectly Simple!!!
Omg this book was wonderful. I was already geared up for a long story but no BriAnn you did me dirty. Lol This book was written with such finesse and a brilliance. I loved Ju and Cherish. I am so glad they finally got together but selfishly I want more.... This was a beautiful story that intertwined love, loss, and healing. Thank you once again Miss BriAnn Danae you always amaze and satisfy me. I am anxiously awaiting your next release.

More than a moment
For a minute I wasn't sure if Cherish and Ju would make it. Him leaving felt off, and then going home again like nothing happened, I wasn't feeling that. I understood though, love is a powerful drug and is capable of producing more than just a moment. A good read....

This was a very cute love story. Being best friends Cherish and Ju tested the waters with their feelings and even though they both felt something, they chose to not take it there. A tragedy occurred forcing those feelings to be put on the back burner and causing their bond to be apart. Could being apart a year make a difference? I really enjoyed and definitely recommend.

Time
We never really understand time until we wake up one day and time is no longer on our side. Ju and Cherish are definitely that time. They always knew each other and wanted each other but knew the timing may have been off. Unexpected events is what brought their time together to the right now. Brief but definitely good in all aspects, I love a good love story!!!

Precious Moments
This was a short and sweet read. Two best friends loyal and always there for each other. I enjoyed JuJu's character. He was the friend that would heaven and earth for the one he loves. Lines crossed...Tragedy...Love...Healing all came together for something that was just meant to be.

This was literally one of the best love stories I’ve read in a while. Cherish and Ju relationship was everything. They never lost they connection regardless of the tragedy or distance. I hope we get to see them again.

Ms. Briann took me through a range of emotions. I was sad, crying, and happy all in the same hour. I love a book that takes me through a range of emotions. Great job on the storyline and character development. I can’t wait for the next book.

Heartbreaking
I felt so bad for Cherish. Juju’s love for her was beautiful! I would have liked an epilogue as to a glimpse of their new life.
