CLP Blog Tours Book Review: Between Friends by Amanda Cowen
Amanda Cowen is now on tour with CLP Blog Tours and Between Friends
Summary:
The only way to have a friend is to be one…especially between the sheets…
When neurotically challenged and unlucky in love Megan Daniels is propositioned by her life-long friend Ben Romano with a coin toss (heads, they sleep together, tails, they don’t) the night before they are about to attend a destination wedding, she drunkenly accepts his challenge. But when Megan wakes up the next morning with a bad hang-over and Ben in her bed, she is more than mortified. It isn’t until the tropical heat begins to ignite emotions Megan never believed or thought she could possibly have, when she starts to question if risking their friendship is the answer to finding true love.
A cute and contemporary debut novel, BETWEEN FRIENDS faces one girl’s struggle between the fine lines of friendship and love and the risk of opening up her heart to the possibility of forever.
Review:
Since my upcoming wedding is just weeks away, I’ve been a big fan of books that are about weddings or really just have a wedding in them – which Between Friends does! The wedding scenes were a lot of fun to read about-especially the actual wedding when a lot of drama goes down – but of course the real story is about Megan and Ben, longtime friends that decide to cross that friendship line into something more. With a lot of twists and turns along the way – including one big twist that I didn’t see coming – Megan and Ben try to decide if being together is the right thing and if not – can their friendship survive them sleeping together? I know the storyline might seem pretty predictable, but there was plenty of good plot twists thrown in there to keep it fresh and fun. I didn’t love all of the supporting cast, in particular Megan’s girlfriends, but I don’t think enough time was spent on their friendship to help readers understand why all these very different females were friends. Overall I thought this was cute and quick read, perfect for the beach while enjoying a drink!
