I love a friends-to-lovers arc- this is no secret. And The Friendship Fling absolutely smashed it. I was obsessed with Ava and Finn from the moment we were introduced to her and the reverse grumpy-sunshine dynamic between her and Finn. This book was so perfectly British in the best way!

This book made it more than easy to keep turning the pages and stay invested in these characters. Finn falls way first and I was so here for it. It was adorable to watch him be so patient with Ava and to take the time to grow their friendship. He was so determined to be there for her and I loved it so much.

This book was a joy to read. It’s a story of friendship and love and the peace that comes from finding a home both within yourself and with a partner. It’s an ode to being independent but also finding comfort in being with someone, which is so beautiful. 

Thank you to HarperCollins and Harper Perennial for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
