Manhattan


Everyone knows not to fall in love with your best friend.

But when your best friend is Michael Becker, it’s impossible not to.

He’s everything our town knows a Becker brother to be: devastatingly handsome, charming as a thief, and the icing on the cake — a sentimental musician who’s never without his guitar.

And he was mine. At least, that’s what I’d convinced myself.

Our bond was born in elementary school, strengthened by circumstance and the promise to always be there for each other, no matter what. And the best thing about my life was being friends with Michael Becker.

Until it was the worst.

I watched him fall in love with someone else, and helped patch him back up when she left him behind. But when he drops the bomb that he’s moving to New York, I realize it’s my last chance to tell him how I feel. And I ask him to make one more promise.

One summer. One list of adventures to remind him that our small town has more to offer than memories of the girl who left him behind.

One last chance to tell him I’m in love with him.

And I’m just dumb enough to believe that maybe he could love me, too.

Kylie and Mikey have seen each other through their hardest times in life, as well as the best. They shared everything with one another and were as close as friends could possibly be. Except the one secret that Kylie has, that she's in love with Mikey. But now he wants to move away and Kylie doesn't want to lose her chance to finally tell him how she feels. So she sets up a whole summer of adventures to get Mikey to see what he's been missing all these years.

I loved these two and they were definitely friendship goals. They had such a fun relationship, even when there was some tension between them when they disagreed about Mikey moving you could still see that they cared for each other. Those disagreements also added some angst that I loved, which I'm usually not a big fan of a lot of angst in my books, but with Mikey and Kylie it was that kind of angst that also adds some sexual tension that gets me captivated. It made for a really intriguing story and one that I loved reading.

Overall, this is a brilliant story and it's definitely recommended. You could read it as a standalone with no problem but there is an underlying story that is started in the previous books so I would say to read those first if you're someone that needs all the little details.
