This was a nice friends-to-lovers, slow burn romance. I liked it more than I thought I would.
BUT
The romance doesn’t start until the 85% mark. There was no yearning or pining or acknowledgement of feelings, even to themselves. I do think there was some obliviousness with their feelings and a little jealousy but they didn’t recognize any of it for what it was. Once the romantic part of their relationship happened it felt a little out of left field because of such a lack of anything being mentioned beforehand. And then bam the book was over. So, I ended up feeling unsatisfied.
It is a feel-good book, mostly. I think people will enjoy it. I just need more of that deeper emotional connection with the longing that comes with both the friends-to-lovers and slow burn tropes.

Very nice and well written book. Though the romance between the two mains was developing a little too slow for me I enjoyed this story. Tessa and Monty were great characters who were oblivious to their feelings for a long time. I liked the way they treated each other as friends and the way they discovered that the loved each other was lovely to read. Also this book made me laugh at times, which is a great pro in my book.

The story drags on quite a bit but it's still a sweet friends to lovers story. I dig it.

Review originally appeared in The Lesbrary
I think this book is going to be chocolate cream pie for readers who are suckers for friends-to-lovers f/f.
Who We Could Be by Chelsea Cameron is pitched as (grown) Anne/Diana from the beloved Anne of Green Gables series. Cameron has definitely captured the magic of the conventional girl (Diana, or “Monty” in this book — Montgomery, possibly as a nod to the inspiration’s author) dragged eagerly into the creative, spontaneous, and unconventional schemes and adventures of her red-haired best friend (Anne, or “Tess” in this book.)
We’ve moved about 300 miles west from Prince Edward Island to Maine, and 150 years forward into the present day, but Cameron preserved the general part of the world, the small-town feel, and most importantly, the dynamic of the original relationship. As mentioned above, Tess has the imagination, quirks, and impulsiveness of a Manic Pixie Dream Girl, or the original Anne Shirley. In addition, the initial best friend relationship between the two leads has that intense obsessive feel that causes some readers to long for Anne/Diana in the first place.
Let’s put it this way: there are characters in this book who are basically waiting for Tess and Monty to realize they’re in love with each other, because they kind of act like they already are, way before it happens. For one thing, when Monty’s engagement goes up in smoke, Tess goes on the honeymoon with her instead. Which is in Savannah, Georgia, by the way, if you want to vicariously enjoy it with them. Actually, to be frank about that, there are degrees of this intensity that felt a little smothery to me, but I’m going to be aboveboard and admit that I’ve got specific, personal experiences that color my thoughts here. And not every fictional relationship is going to be 100% perfect for every reader.
Another pleasant and unexpected deviation from the original canon: first of all, Tess, unlike Anne, is not an orphan. She’s part of a large, noisy family (that includes a trans lesbian aunt and her wife, who is also trans!) This is a fun wish fulfillment that I feel the original Anne would be touched to know about. By the end of the book, it has really leaned into the well-noted phenomenon of friend groups who all eventually come out because of the way we find each other before we’re even out to ourselves.
The sex scene toward the end of the book is hot and satisfying. And it’s a really slow burn because both girls start the book thinking they’re straight so it’s good to have a well-written payoff after all that.
I want to leave a warning on this book, by the way, that will only be relevant to a few readers but for those readers it will matter. Many of the supporting female characters in this book (although not the two leads) are either pregnant or in the process of arranging motherhood some other way. If you would rather avoid that, perhaps wait on picking up this title.

3.5 stars. This book had a really great concept, I just would’ve enjoyed it so much more if the characters were even slightly yearning for each other outside of basically one moment throughout the first 78% of the book. The fact that the “practice dating” doesn’t start until then really made it drag on so slowly. The friendship of Monty and Tessa was really nice and I love how supportive they were, I just wish there was way more tension and confused then obvious attraction or SOMETHING before they all of a sudden are hooking up and declaring their love for each other right before it ended.
I also can't believe that Tessa's brothers apparently thought that the two girls were in love with each other without knowing it for years and even made shirts about it, and were still going to let them get married to men??? Without at least dropping a hint to help them along??
I read Style by this author when it came out years ago and absolutely LOVED IT and I just wish this book had some of the same romantic tension. I also had trouble telling their POVs apart sometimes, which was also kind of off-putting.
Overall this is a good book with great, diverse, and wonderfully supportive side characters. I was just hoping for a lot more between the main characters romance throughout most of the book.

Ok I'm going to admit this book taught me something I was unaware of:
1) I do not particularly enjoy reading stories written in the 1st person, or at least not this one.
2) I really hate that when the 1st person is having a conversion and every other sentence contains some version of "he/she said"
It just feels awkward and u rewarding.
This may be a lovely book, but I'm too old and there are to many on my TBR list to spend any more time slogging through this.

I liked the plot and overall story. My main criticism is the author's failure to clearly spell out who is speaking. There were too many instances of constant dialogue and trying to figure out who "I" and "she" was. At the very beginning of the book, this was especially problematic, which was frustrating. Some other issues were mix-ups with the main characters. In one spot, the author mentions Tessa when she meant Monty. Also, there was definitely a need for better proofreading to fix those instances and the various typos. I debated between rating this book as a 3 or 4, but think that given all the books this author has written, proofing should be a well-established skill. I like the storylines, but think Cameron's mechanics need to be better.

A fun, light romance
This was a very fun, light read. I’m not usually a fan of slow burn romances but I particularly liked the pacing and evolution of Tessa and Monty’s relationship. It really worked well in this story. Both characters were also interesting and like-able. My first book by this author and her writing style was one I enjoyed.
I do want to mention that there were three instances where the wrong character was referred to in a scene (like Tessa was named when it was actually Monty). As well as other mistakes. I understand some mistakes get past editing but there were definitely more than I feel was acceptable in this book.

In short I dont think I really had any idea what the characters really even looked like... the whole thing really did not make much sense in how it came together and frankly I could not have cared less if the 2 got together or not..a bad review for a Author that I have given many Steller reviews for.. In fact I pulled the plug on this one at about 96 percent because I just did not care... 2 rare stars from me rounded down

Very, Very Cute!
This was basically a very cute love story. Tessa and Monty being best friends and moving through life side by side, got each other as no one else could. Both engaged, both supposed to be planning their weddings and both not dealing with a wedding as happy brides should. It was obvious Tessa, who was clueless, had feelings for her best friend that bordered obsessive, especially on who was good for Monty. Monty, who wanted everyone around her to be happy, even though she wasn’t, needs Tessa more than she can admit. As Monty’s relationship explodes due to her fiancés cheating, she realizes a few things about herself. When Tessa and Gus realize that their relationship is based on a life of love but not actually “in” love, they too realize things about themselves. I did feel the story dragged a little until Tessa and Monty actual realize their feelings. I think we could have used a few more chapters of them discovering their feelings. The story itself had a juvenile quality to it that just made wanting to read more about them a necessity. I have never read anything else from this writer and was surprised at how many books she has written. I will definitely check her out!

This book made me hungry
Hungry for more books by this author, which I am about to search for. Hungry for a follow up story, which I have no idea if it exists yet or ever will, but I'll find out soon. Hungry for potato doughnuts, which I'm eager to break in my deep fryer to make as soon as I track down a recipe.
I love books that give detailed accounts of food, because I love food almost as much as I love reading.
I absolutely loved these main characters, because they were unique and weird and likable and not at all assholes.
I loved the visibility on this book. I got to see bits of myself as a queer parent, as a trans person, as a lesbian, as an asexual/aromantic (who is weirdly obsessed with lesfic romances). I'm a solid decade older than these characters, but i could really feel and recall that early/mid twenties figuring yourself out thing they were going through and while I love other scenarios as well, I really appreciated reading a story with supportive background characters.
The pivotal scene between Gus and Tessa was everything I wish my experience with almost that exact scenario was.

What a fluffy, feel-good romance this was! It had me at “inspired by the Diana & Anne of GG friendship.” Since Diana and Anne totally needed to be with each other and I’m very happy that now my imagination can tick that box :) what a sap!
The BFF turned romance is a fun genre, and the suspense & build up was very good throughout. Seeing them oblivious to how much they love each other while trying to weather their separate awakenings was a page Turner. tho it’s not super realistic in some ways (so both of them have canceled engagements with men who they are just going through the motions with and then discover they are attracted to women and to each other but at slightly different times?), it’s def one of the best romances I’ve read this year, and I thought the treatment of the awakenings and self-discovery was validating for the characters.

I picked up this book on a whim when I needed something to read on vacation. It was cute, the characters were unique and didn't rely on tropes, so that was nice.
The story perspective changed between the two main characters, Tessa and Montgomery (or Ford, as Tessa calls her). This allowed for one character to notice the moods and actions of the other, and then in the next chapter these questions were hopefully answered by the perspective change.
The world building was interesting around the women's story. One really felt like they could see the small Maine town the story took place in. There were only one or two unreal points here. Namely, catching a flight from Portland to Savannah with no layovers.

So cute and lovable!
This book was a read: light, funny, romantic and cute!
Who doesn't love books where loving friends are involved? I certainly do!
Monty and Tessa were so perfect together, such a beautiful friendship, and it was lovely how they didn't realize they loved each other (like, THEY LOVED THEIRSELF), Everything they wanted was in front of them all the time .. It was beautiful when the record finally dropped down!
Tessa's family was lovely, I laughed with her brothers.
I recommend this reading. If you are looking for an easy, cute book among friends who love each other, here's your book!
Ahh .. I am HOT too! I mentioned !?

Excellent
Who We Could Be is a great f/f story about friends to lovers and discovering your not-so-straightness. It starts off kind of slow and drama filled. The author does a great job of pulling at the heartstrings about Monty's situation and slightly confused and hopeful with Tessa's. Once all the conflict is resolved, the reader (at least in my case) can't help but scream at the two friends, as it's pretty obvious how they feel about one another. But in the end the pacing works. The revelations are kind of hilarious. I absolutely loved the ending and will be rereading it in the new future. Highly recommend to anyone who likes this trope.

A sweet story and I appreciated the obvious nods to Anne of Green Gables. I was a little frustrated that as the romance started to become harder for the characters to ignore, it felt like there were key moments where we weren't getting the POV character's thoughts. This left me confused as to whether they were conscious of it or not.
The book is also in desperate need of a copy edit - from awkward repetitions to wrong word errors that spell check wouldn't catch (eg writing vs writhing), and obvious mistakes like accidentally changing POV for a paragraph. They didn't impede understanding, but they were often jarring.

✔Sapphic Book Bingo Challenge 2023 🌈✨: Main board - Low-angst romance
3 stars. I liked this story. It’s fun and very light but I will say that I wish that the romance between Monty and Tessa hadn’t taken so long to start. I believed in their friendship but not their romance unfortunately. The transition wasn’t smooth as before then they didn’t think of each other romantically at all. They were both very likable characters and I liked that this had both of them having a queer awakening and coming out. That was cool. It was well written and a quick and fun read but the romance didn’t deliver for me.

Tessa WAS right!!!
A wonderful journey to share with Tessa and Monty. Their love was pure and unconditional. When they finally discovered who they could be was a gift to us! Tessa’s family was amazing and so lovingly supportive. All of the secondary characters were well developed and relatable. A very good read. I enthusiastically and unequivocally recommend this and any other works by this author. I’m looking forward to reading more of her novels. Thank you

I am not sure if I actually read the same book as the other reviewers because (and I'm sorry to say this) this book was just not good. It was not well written, the two main characters were not deeply developed nor easily distinguishable from one another, the themes were not particularly meaningful, and I particularly did not like how flippantly asexuality was portrayed/handled (whoops, sorry, slight spoilers there).
I usually love slow burns and the ${ENTITY}-to-lovers (enemies and friends alike!) trope but this just made me roll my eyes.

Okay, we all know 2020 has been a dumpster fire of a year. The fact that Chelsea Cameron was able to put out a book at all is amazing. Just that would be enough.
But it also happens to be the perfect kind of book to get through this year with. The writing itself is soft and sweet and comforting, and the characters are just so much fun together.
I won't spoil anything, but when the pair finally finds their way together it just feels so natural and perfect. Not to mention super, super hot.

4.5 stars... Delightful, friends-to-lovers novel
I really enjoyed this. Low(ish) angst, coming out in your 20s, friends-to-lovers romance. Was afraid it was going to involve cheating but it did not.
Tessa and Monty have been BFFs since childhood. Both, now in mid-20s, are engaged to men - one a great guy, the other a d-bag. But as their perfectly planned futures begin to fall apart, both women realize that their friendship may be more.

Awesome story
I loved the friendship of Monty (Ford) and Tessa (Cin) , they are sweet , honest and support each other. The characters are charismatic and simple. They leaned on each other during bad times and when they discovered the feelings behind and emotions behind their friendship, they accepted and embraced it. The story is enchanting with a hint of spice. I definitely recommend it.

Who We Could Be is the perfect read for anyone who is mentally and emotionally struggling.
It's a sweet and romantic story, with two leads who are as loveable as they are clueless about their feelings.
There are a few critical comments to be made if you are so inclined, but I'm not even going to go there today. I needed a break and a ton of positive vibes, and this book delivered on both fronts.
Highly recommended.

A really sweet finding out who you are and who you love
An interesting and sweet story about coming out and falling in love with someone who is your best friend. Unlikely to happen in reality but this is a romance novel, so yo expect it. Lovely read especially with everything going on in the real world.
