Better Off Friends

I have to admit, I'm a bit torn about this book.

I enjoyed the story. And the characters. I always do when it's by Elizabeth Eulberg. She writes Contemporary YA like nobody's business.

But this book was one of those cases where I went in expecting one thing and ended up getting something completely different.

The book is called Better Off Friends. But the moral of the story is not that Macellan and Levi are better off friends. SpoilerIt's that all along they were perfect for one another and they just couldn't see it because of their friendship.

As a romance, it's a fantastic book. But I was expecting a story about how a guy and girl can be best friends and love each other in a non-romantic way. That's why it lost a star. We need more books that focus on friendship rather than romantic entanglements.

But I promise you this: you will fall in love with Macellan and Levi. We get to know each of them pretty intimately because the story is told in dual POV. At times I wanted to smack both of them. But in the end, I was feeling so giddy and freaking happy at the turn of events that the rest was simply the story that needed to be told to get to HEA.
