This book completely snuck up on me! My initial reaction was that this book seemed like a light, fluffy throw-back to the chick lit novels of the early 2000s. Boy, was I wrong. While, yes, it did have several matching characteristics, this book was so much more than that.This novel is a contemporary romance novel about two friends who have been secretly in love with each other for 10 years. It also has some classic chick lit characteristics thrown in: NYC setting, “single girls in the city” theme, etc. But there’s some serious heart and depth to the story.I really loved the characters. Riley is strong and witty, someone that any reader will appreciate. She’s confident about just about everything in her life—except for her sex life. And then we have the lovely Sam. He’s strong, but scared of the future, scared of letting people down. Once they finally get together: fireworks.The secondary couples were delightful and funny, probably more so for readers who’ve read their stories. I really enjoyed this book, even without having read the others in the series.
