Best Man

I really liked this book! Kind of basic but a nice story with a good ending:). Frank was a great guy who has some bad things happen to him. He is super-nice, sweet, has a good job, but is just kind of a quiet and shy loner. Frank marries his love, Ethan who eventually cheats on him and they get divorced, leaving Frank lonely and sad in their house alone. Frank has one good long time friend Jonathan who is kind clueless and in a terrible relationship with Marcus who is a total cheating idiot but Jonathan just doesn't see it, or refuses to acknowledge it. Frank rents out a room out to Julio a flashy cute yoga instructor but they don't really talk or have much in common. Frank hates Marcus and knows that he is all wrong for Jonathan--that they have a terrible relationship and the Marcus cheats and treats Jonathan badly. Frank meets Jonathan for breakfast and finds out that they are engaged which makes him mad. Frank all the sudden says he is dating his roommate and turns out Marcus knows Julio and invites them to dinner which starts this who web of lies between the four of them. The story gets more interesting when Julio breaks his leg, how he and Frank seems to get close while they are fake dating. I love what happens near the end, how Frank realizes that he has been in a rut & not really living since he got divorced and starts to change his life and then how the story plays out. I don't want to ruin the ending but I loved it. Julio was awesome and Jonathan and Marcus got what they deserved! Hand to God! Definitely worth reading! Thanks to NG for the ARC!

Really enjoyed this book.
Would definitely recommend to friends and family.
Read it in one sitting

I thought I knew how the book would play out based on the synopsis but the actual story was so much better than I had hoped. The characters were so well written and believably complex and messy that I kept cycling between wanting to shake, hug, and throat punch them. I went back and forth several times on who I wanted to end up together and at one point just wanted them all to be single and start fresh. At various times they were all villains and victims but in the end everyone's true colors were on display and they all got what they deserved, good or bad. I really enjoyed this book and will be looking for more from this author. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great story and a realistic view on how complicated love and friendship can be and the lengths people will go to keep it.

I really love this book! Frank is a sweet guy who was married to someone who cheated on him. Frank is love with his best friend Jonathan, who is married to Marcus, but Frank and Marcus don’t see eye to eye. Julio is a yoga instructor and Frank rents out a room to him. Frank finds out that Jonathan is engaged and Frank lies about his relationship with his roommate. I don’t want to go into detail because I might give the rest of the story away. There is angst, cheating, deception, romance, friends to lovers, and jealousy. The book is easy to read with a great flow. I couldn’t put it down once I started reading it. It’s a happy ending and truly enjoyed this book.
