Book Review: The Friend Situation by Lyra Parish

About the book:

After the charming billionaire and I successfully play matchmaker, he asks me to be his fake fiancée. Saying yes might be the biggest slip-up of my life, but what are friends for?

Weston Calloway is the last man I imagined meeting after one of my boring breakups. But there he was, in a dive bar, drinking cheap whiskey, looking like my next favorite mistake. Instead of hooking up, we become secret friends.

When his jealous ex stirs up unnecessary drama, Weston asks me to be his fake girlfriend. Things escalate quickly, and we lose control of the situation. Now, we’re roommates, and I’m wearing a diamond ring that he slipped on my finger.

This game may be fun, but we agreed to one unbreakable rule—no falling in love. 

Easy, right? It should be.

Thoughts:

After flicking through The Wife Situation, I read The Friend Situation fully, and I’m so glad I did.

Finding out how Weston and Carlee met, reading about how their relationship was growing, and the internal battles the characters faced gave them so much depth.

The struggles Carlee faced daily and the confidence issues are some that I’m sure a lot of readers can relate to, and I loved reading about her finding herself.

The time and effort Weston continually put into showing her she was perfect to him, with his patience and understanding, was great to read.

Though we know he was a bit unethical in his actions, we can’t fault him, can we?

I absolutely loved this book and couldn’t get enough of it.
