Pandora's box opens wide when the friends find themselves being drawn toward one another in a very non-platonic way. To complicate things further, Layla is dating Sidney's brother Cole.

They desperately fight against fate and the looming threat of seduction. But life has a way of putting us on the paths we avoid the most. In an effort to do what’s right, Sidney makes a decision that forces her and everyone she loves down a road of passion and betrayal. Will she ever be free to be with the love of her life? Will Cole and Layla forgive her? How will she repair the damage she’s caused? In order to put her broken life back together, the carefree and immature Sidney, has to grow up and stop running from her mistakes. What is left to do... When All Else Fails?

Beautiful love story!!!💕
I really enjoyed reading this book. It's a page turner from beginning to end. One thing I love about this story is that it was unpredictable. I couldn't tell how this story would play out. I also loved the character development. You could see each character evolve throughout the story. Without giving too much away, I would say that this book made me feel all the feels. As cliché as it sounds this book will make you laugh, smile, and even cry. It`s very well, written if I might add. However, I have to say that the main character really bugged me from time to time with the things she did, but her story is very relatable. This was a very easy read for me. If you want a different kind of love story, this is the one for you.

Drama
This read had alot of drama, which I happened to like. Sid could have save so much time and Rebecca a lot of heartache if she just got with Layla after she broke up with Fadea. I would've given this book if it wasn't for the format.

Unexpectedly addictive
Ok. Honestly, when I started this book it contradicted every moral bone in my body. But I feel that everything leading up to the climax was absolutely necessary. I couldn't put this book down. 10 kudos!

Great love story. Kept me engaged throughout the duration of the read. Starts out at a very steady pace and picks up rather quickly towards the end.

Sidney and Layla have been best friends since college. Their bond is like no other friendship they've had. Lines were blurred. Neither spoke on it, now present day, her best friend Layla is dating her brother. Layla is distraught over her feeling for her friend Sidney but Sidney refuses to acknowledge whatever is it between them.
Determined to ignore the temptations of their present, and secrets of their past, the choice that are made will start to catch up with them. The decisions Sidney choose sends the people around her down the road of passion and betrayal. Can she repair the damage she's caused, grow up and stop running from her mistakes.
Sidney is a charmer! She knows all the right words to say when she's after something she wants. But her character is also inconsistent with certain chooses. Only thing she is consistent in is her job, making a mess of her love life and running before dealing with the consequences of her actions. But the be fair she wasn't the one always in the wrong.
Sidney is a go with the wind type of person with her issues. What's in front of her is what she deals with. To her girlfriend, to her Bestfriend, and her brother. Don't get me wrong she doesn't mean to deceive, she does believe in what she is saying. But it seems ever needs to be said in the moment to reassure the person she will say without thinking of what long turn outcomes could hurt others in the process.
I wanted to know what in Sidney past could have shed light on why Sidney is how she is when it seems she kept her family small and close. Why was it so easy to make some decisions she did.
Layla, for Sidney is a down as chick. She just wants Sidney in her life.
I wish we would of gotten moments from her perspective as well to get inside her brain of how she felt about Sidney from her POV. Why she made some of the decisions she made that played apart in how they were in the present.
It would be fun to have a deep dive into their college day friendship.
Sidney was very frustrating in the this book for me for sure. I believe no matter what outcome she needs therapy to figure somethings out about herself and why she does certain things.
