Publisher's summary

You know, being friends with two cute boys does have its benefits.

There's Danny. Danny is a golden boy in every way. He has dreamy blue eyes and blonde hair that always looks perfect, even when it's windblown or been stuck under a football helmet. He's the boy every girl crushes on. The boy I get into trouble with, the boy I fight with, the hot quarterback no girl can resist, not even me. Being with Danny is like being on an adventure. He has a bright, contagious smile and abs to die for. He's pretty much irresistible.

Equally crush worthy is Phillip. Adorable, sweet Phillip, who I have known since birth. Phillip has dark hair, a perfect smile, brown eyes, and the sexiest voice I have ever heard. He's the boy I talk to every night before I go to sleep. The boy who rescues me, the boy who can read my mind, the boy who is always there for me, the boy who tries to keep me out of trouble, the boy who irritatingly keeps getting hotter, and whose strong arms always seem to find their way around me. And when he gives me that grin, I can never say no.

One boy will give me my very first kiss.

One boy will teach me to make out.

One boy will take me to prom.

And finally, one boy will ask me to marry him.

They will both be my best friends.

But only one of them will be the boy I fall in love with.

Only one of them is That Boy.

Captivating....

JJ, Phillips, and Danny's story is very captivating. It is not a new theme, but at the same time, very startling. The author keep us guessing about the love interest between the two boys/men, but I sort of knew which one from the beginning. They were both good catches, but one has an edge. This is not a love triangle per se, but it kind of is. It is not off putting though. There is just something about this story that makes it a magnificent romance.

Even though it was Danny who was constantly making out with JJ, she would always talk to Phyllips every night before going to bed. Their relationship was deep. The author also did a good job in not making this story boring. The pace was brisk but steady and I love that. It is also very helpful to take note of the date and timing. Like my title suggests, stories of friends to lovers abound, and in the hands of a good author, always a good read. It was more enjoyable for me because I listened to the audio version. The actor was awesome, did justice to the character of JJ. That's about all I would say. Read it and see.

Love it!

Love the story and the characters. The buddying romance and wondering who it will be. I can’t wait to hear the rest.

Easy read but chapters run together

Good story line but the chapters run together making it hard to determine a pause in the story

Not what I expected

It was cute and well written but really not what the description makes you think. Also very much an older teen book instead of adult or even YA.

JJ becomes pretty obnoxious the last 30 min and you would think she never got out of HS emotionally.

Narrator makes this a fun read.

This was a cute, love story. Narrator was excellent. My only complaints would be that there was no time between chapters, and the book jumped ahead in time too much. Still an enjoyable read. Worth a credit.

Good book, fast paced unfortunately

I enjoyed the plot of this book and how relatable is to tees and young adults. The narrative was good but a bit too fast-paced to my liking.

I will definitely continue on to the next book in this series!
