NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER

This heartwarming and swoon-worthy second chance romance about childhood friends reconnecting as adults is the highly anticipated debut novel from YouTube creator Haley Pham.

Blair and Declan were inseparable growing up—best friends who knew each other better than anyone else. But when an impulsive kiss took them from friends to something more, everything changed. Just as quickly as their romance started, one moment shattered it all, leaving them with nothing but heartbreak and silence.

Now, four years later, Blair is back in their coastal hometown of Seabrook to support her mom and care for her great-aunt Lottie as her health declines. To make ends meet, Blair applies to work at a coffee shop—only to discover it’s managed by none other than Declan. The boy she loved. The boy she lost. The boy who still makes her heart race.

As Blair’s path keeps crossing with Declan’s, old wounds resurface, secrets are revealed, and sparks reignite. But could their future ever be free of their past?

Told in dual timelines that unravel the magic and pain of first love, Just Friends is a moving, romantic story about second chances, the weight of dreams, and finding your way back to the people who feel like home.

Just Fabulous!

Haley grabbed me from the first page. Her descriptive language and ability to pull the reader in; you'd be surprised to find out that this is her debut novel.

The ups and downs the main character Blair goes through are reminiscent of a real life young adult these days. Her story mirrors my own and I related with it deeply. There is a particular portion of the book where someone has to deal with a profound loss and Haley describes this so accurately that it makes me wonder if she was describing a personal loss she herself went through.

I absolutely loved this book and cannot wait for her next book!

A wonderful debut

It took me a few chapters to get the gist of the writing style but overall I found this story to be very endearing. I very much related to the grief Blair experiences and the hardship of keeping friendship post college. I enjoyed the internal conversations about being more honest with boundaries and having vulnerability with others.

This is a lovely story and as a debut it holds so much potential from this author.

Love this book

So happy to be able to read this book finally! It lived up to its hype. I found myself throughout listening to it smiling and laughing. You did great Haley! Would definitely recommend it is well written and very cute.

Easy Read with Lovable Characters

This book was incredibly easy to read and the connections you gain from the characters makes the story that much better
