*I received this book free from NetGalley on behalf of Forever (Grand Central Publishing) in exchange for an honest review*This story starts with the birth of Jules’s son, and being the mother of four children I can say it was written pretty spot on. It definitely kept me laughing. Then it jumps forward about a year later.Jules used to cover up her faults with her promiscuity, but since becoming a mother her entire world has been wrapped around her son, leaving her own needs neglected. She finally gets to a point where she decides that it’s time for her to stand on her own two feet and she moves out of her brother’s house, starts working for best friend, and decides to re-enter the dating world. Even though the one man she truly wants, her best friend, is just that…her best friend, who has told her there can never be more than friendship between them.Tad had been there for Jules since the day she showed up at her brother’s restaurant pregnant and in need of help. He’s there holding her hand and whispering words of encouragement during the birth of her child. He’s there when she needs a shoulder to cry on. He’s there for everything. But when one night they kiss, it changes everything, but he refuses to give into anything he feels and focuses instead on the friendship they both need.I enjoyed the way their families involved themselves in their lives and the way they interfered. It is always the other people who see what the people involved cannot see themselves. This is a sweet story of how relationships and people evolve.My Favorite Moments: I love all the flirty banter between Jules and Tad. They both mean what they say, and at the same time they both chalk it up to just being really close friends.
