Review: Best Friends For Never

 


Title: Best Friends For Never 

Author: Teagan Hunter 

Release Date: February 25



The movie star and the small-town girl he left behind. They have a lot of catching up to do in an emotional and rousing romantic comedy about fame, second chances, and making dreams come true.


Parker Pruitt’s dream is to restore her small town’s long-shuttered theater—one to be named in honor of Noel Carter, the boy who followed his dream from Emerald Grove, Washington, to Hollywood…and broke Parker’s heart. Now he’s back to attend the kickoff ceremony, and for Parker, that means smiling through a swell of mixed emotions at seeing her former best friend for the first time in a decade.


Noel may be one of the hottest actors in the world, but he’s still touched by the tribute. And a little nervous about seeing Parker again. But when his weekend jaunt extends into a six-week stay, long-repressed memories and feelings come rushing back. As the simmering attraction between them builds, Noel is determined not to ruin this second chance even if his return to LA is hanging over them.


They’re making the best of the time they have left, but is there any chance of a Hollywood ending?

So I have been in a little bit of a slump recently - between wanting to continue series but the library currently not having the books in, to my emotions being all over the place and a filling breaking causing me pain for days - not to mention my daughter having to get braces that fell off two days later during the holidays when the dentist office isn't even open, I've just been dealing with a lot. So it was nice being able to get an arc of this book I have been looking forward to for months, to get lost in. 

Noel is a movie star. A dream he has been working towards for a long time. He left town, and his best friend Parker who he was in love with ten years ago, not once returning to the town he grew up in. Not until an anonymous donor dontates funds to renovate the theater that closed down when Noel & Parker were teens. Parker just happens to be head of the renovation committee. What happens when Noel returns to the town, and best friend he left behind? 

This was such a a cute contemporary romance. I loved Noel & Parker's story & it was exactly what I needed to get through a crazy few days. And I loved the references to her other books & characters as well. If your looking for a cute friends to lovers romance then I definitely recommend this book.
