About this ebook

1999 goals: Get a life, get real… and get a room.

 

No one ever said I was the brightest bulb on the tree, but a near-death experience finally knocks some sense into my thick head.

 

Luckily, my jerk of an ex washes his hands of me, but I’m left with so many burnt bridges to re-build. Landing a job on any movie or TV show that’ll have me has to be my #1 priority. Thankfully, my life-long friends still love me enough to help.

 

When the one I always wished could be more than a friend shows up on my doorstep, however, all my good intentions go right out the window. Before I know it, I’ve convinced him that an out-of-town, friends-with-benefits deal will be the perfect way to get over each other.

 

Is it another in a long line of bad decisions, or a move that'll turn things around? 110 percent, I hope he can handle the truth.

 

Fans of 90’s TV shows, from Friends to Freaks and Geeks, will love this second chance, friends-to-lovers, retro romance, where a grumpy cinnamon roll hero and a wounded bird heroine vie for a happy-ever-after despite interference from meddling found-family friends.

Ford has been in love with Whitney since they were young, but felt she was always out of his league. Ford came from a working class family and Whitney came from a home of privilege. This story made me feel so many extreme emotions. Grey weaved a story about a very sensitive issue with honesty and empathy, making my heart break and then put it back together again. I loved how she took her time with Whitney and Ford, allowing them to heal, and become stronger, and know they were worthy of love.

Ford and Whitney This is the last two from the friends group. I liked there story if you read from the beginning we get glimpses of these two, but now we get Whitney and find out her actions and decisions and what she went through. Ford has been in love with Whitney since what seems forever. Love Ford and how he is constantly trying to prove his love for Whitney. Then there is Whitney and it was good to read as she takes action and tries to prove she's not the damsel who needs saving.
