BFF

By: K.C. Wells

Narrated by: Michael Mola

I’m about to do something huge, and it could change...everything.

I met Matt in second grade, and we’ve been inseparable ever since. We went to the same schools; studied at the same college. When we both got jobs in the same town, we shared an apartment. And when my life took an unexpected turn, Matt was there for me.

Every milestone in my life, he was there to share it. And what’s really amazing? After all these years, we’re still the best of friends. Which brings me to this fragile, heart-stopping moment: I want to tell him I love him, really love him, but I’m scared to death of what he’ll say. If I’ve got this all wrong, I’ll lose him - forever.

3.5 stars- I liked the bones of the story

Friends to lovers is a favorite trope of mine and I’ve looked at BFF a few times before because the blurb reminded me of a favorite book by another author. I recently listened to my first audiobook by this narrator, and when I saw he narrated BFF, I dove right in.

BFF has an interesting setup. The story is told from a single point-of-view, David’s, and is delivered as a chronological collection of vignettes documenting the history of Matt and David’s friendship. For the most part, this style worked well for the story. Although at first, the interwoven commentary where adult David discusses past events was a little displacing, I quickly settled into the book’s rhythm and enjoyed the story. This was definitely assisted by the lively, emotive narration by Mr. Mola. He injected personality into each scene, e.g. laughing when characters laugh, yet it wasn’t overacted. Instead, these details brought me further into David and Matt’s story.

I really liked the bones of BFF, but the pacing wasn’t my favorite. Quite often it felt as though David led the reader through rambling descriptions, often detailing things that didn’t add much to the story. While that may be an honest representation of memory recollection, it slowed the progression of the story and caused me to lose a bit of interest. I also lamented not seeing more of the building feelings and transition of friends to lovers. The underpinning was clear and the author did a fabulous job of showing, not telling, but when it came time for Matt and David to be together, it felt a bit anti-climactic and that left me disappointed. Overall, BFF was a good friends to lovers romance featuring a different style and a very good narrator.

Great

Greatest love story. The way David and Matt find each other is overwhelming touching.
Love it.

Cute story!

Funny how it so true in real life. "It's right under your nose." For any type of relationship.

Very good

Truly enjoyed this sweet, friends to lovers romance from KC Wells. If you are looking for something lighthearted and fun, give this one a go! Solid story with excellent main characters, it was low on the angst and pretty fluffy for a KC Wells book. Michael Mola did a really nice job narrating and I plan to explore his work further!

moved slow

I don't think most people wait this long to explore sex but I could be wrong.
