Friends Don't Fall in Love by Erin Hahn

 💖💖💖💖💔/5


4.5/5 - Friends Don't Fall in Love by Erin Hahn is a friends-to-lovers romance for Lorelai Jones and Craig Huckleberry Boseman, "Huck", and a wonderful follow up to Built to Last. Lorelai accidentally falls in love with her best friend, Huck, and both of them think they're the lucky one in the relationship. They're both right and it was amazing.

 

Lorelai was an elementary school teacher who became a country superstar. Heartbroken after another school shooting she sang a song condemning the second amendment; a song totally unlike her that it snuffed out this upcoming star, sending her reeling. The backlash came at her from all directions: her label dropped her, her manger left her, and her fiancé, Drake, broke up with her via a public Instagram reel, and ghosted her. Everyone let her struggle; everyone except Craig. He was not only Drake’s band mate, he was also the songwriter, and once he located Lorelai, they ended up spending a sizzling night together before she disappears to start her life over. Five years later, Lorelai is attempting another go at her music career and as one of the best producers and songwriters in country music Craig works and supports Lorelai as she tries to make a comeback. They are spend a lot of time together in the studio and living in a duplex; which meant really close proximity. Craig has always been in love with Lorelai, keeping his true feelings about her to himself Lorelai also has feelings for Craig, but fears losing him as a friend if they cross the line. Friends don't fall in love, or do they?

 

This is more than their love story. It’s the story of Lorelai finding her feet, her voice and coming into her own. It's Craig's story of standing up for himself and fighting for his love for her. It's filled with characters from Hahn’s earlier books. It's a fun, cute, emotional, and sizzling friends-to-lovers romance set around country music. It is filled with anxiety, tension, banter, chemistry, and wonderful secondary characters; especially Arlo and Maren. Unfortunately it does have the miscommunication trope and that drove me crazy. If only they would have talked to each other like mature adults, open up to their feelings. However, the author does do an amazing job at making the characters feel so real and relatable and you cannot help but root for them. I highly recommend Friends Don't Fall to other readers, and hope that there’s a book for Maren.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
