ARC kindly provided in exchange for honest reviewCrossing Path is a light read with a sweet storyline; perfect for a book in between. It made me giggle, laugh and sometimes swoon. Its plot isn't too heavy and it's a fast read. I enjoyed and liked it but didn't love it.It's the story about two best friends -June and Caroline- who used to be singles but then fall in love with two men; two men they are not supposed to fall for actually. The two girls are bff since college and moved across the country to stay together. Sharing the same apartment, having good jobs,and living overall a great life. Those two couldn't be any different and the only similarities June and Caroline have is "we both speak English, and our dating history is a little spotty." So yeah, you can tell, their success in the man department is like zero lol. Top June's situation off with an nagging mom and add her clumspiness into it then you know why she's single. While June has the struggle with her mom's nagging, Caroline is single because, well, she's a free spirit and got easily bored of the men she was seeing. She basically never saw a guy twice; her longest relationship last a weekend haha -guess her dating-success scale is now explained.But their lives do change pretty soon... for Caroline as soon as June takes her to join family dinner, and June's when her boss sends her to a business trip to NYC. After those encounters their lives aren't the same anymore.I can't say more after that without spoiling something;therefore,I just gonna say: read for yourself :)It's in dual pov and it is a fast read. Why I gave it only 3 stars you want to know. Well here's why:The story was sweet and light; sometimes it had a bit drama and little heartache in it. But that's not the reason for the ranking, I felt the story needed more depth, more interaction with all the characters. Instead just telling the story, I wanted to feel it. I wished for more; sometimes the story felt as if it's written like a diary entry -it was more telling than action. The ending was sweet but a bit rushed. Overall, it's a sweet read and I liked the characters-all four of them.If I'd recommend it? Yes, I'd. Just because it wasn't a five star read for me doesn't mean it's the same for you and like I said I liked it, especially the two men
