Enjoyed the book.
I really enjoyed reading the first two books in the Jensen brothers’ series and anticipated reading this one. In it, we meet Wes Jensen, the oldest brother, who has decided to join his 2 brothers by moving to the West Coast from New York. But where Chris and Noah have a good outlook on life, Wes’ is more pragmatic and because of this he doesn’t believe in relationships and love. Our second main character is Hailey Sharp who is open to new experiences even though she just went through a bad breakup. She doesn’t want to rebound back into a serious relationship, so when she meets Wes, who tells her clearly that he only wants to be friends, she agrees to being his friend. After this start, the books seemed to take a long time in telling us the readers that they were fine as being just friends, but in their minds that they might want more. Finally, by the end of the book, Sophie Sullivan allows us to see how the two friends truly feel. This is a well-written book, with fully developed characters. It’s also book 3, and the author does allow characters from the first two books to be part of this book, but if you’ve read the first two, they are welcome additions to this book. Question is will Sophie Sullivan give us the story of the 4th sibling, a sister who is still in New York? This book can be read as a standalone, but for the best experience, read Ten Rules for Faking It and How to Love Your Neighbor: A Novel first. I was given an ARC of the book through NetGalley, and this is my honest opinion.
This, that, and the other-my thoughts
