Noel is a movie star returning home to see the theater renamed after him. Parker is his former best friend who he hasn't seen in over a decade. Noel tries to use this second chance to rebuild their relationship....

Love a movie star book. Noel is a terrific character. Love the humour and the fun in the book.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

I have been a huge fan of teegan hunter for a while now. Best friends for never was great standalone read. Noel is a famous actor who left home ten years ago and never looked back. Parker, his former best friend/love interest is in the process of fixing up the old town theater, which is being renamed to honor noel. Noel and parker have not seen or spoken to each other in ten years and have a lot of unfinished business. Best friends for never was quick and easy read. I do wish the epilogue was a little longer and showed the characters a few years into the future.

Small town second chance romance with likeable characters and enough angst and emotions to keep things moving. You will root for them to get together, even though you know there will be a HEA eventually, a fun read.

I already know I’m going to obsess over this.

11/25/24 FUCK YES I GOT THE ARC 😭 immediately starting this gem.

Updates: Axel is the BEST best friend ever, he’s the best.
I’m so sad I had to sleep last night, I just wanted to stay up and read 😭
58% in and I’m just 😭🫶🏻🖤🥹
I love Teagan’s writing so much.

Officially finished! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

I feel incredibly fucking invested into that small town and I love the entire vibe of it all, coming from a small towner myself. I hope and pray to the book Gods that Teagan will turn this into a series, I AM DESPERATE FOR MORE AXEL. I need him and his wife’s story, I need more with their sweet babies and damn it I need a good enemies to lovers about Cliff and Astrid.


If I could give this more than five stars, I absolutely would.

Thank you NetGalley and Publisher for this book!!
