"I think I can be good to you. I want to be good for you."
Declan and Avery have been best friends since college, have lived together since they returned from college and have both been harbouring feelings for each other in the back of their minds. Avery is in a horrible car accident and Declan blames himself so demands to take care of her while she is recovering. As they start spending more and more time together, the lines between friendship and more begin to disappear. As life begins to get back to normal, the past and insecurities threaten everything they have come to enjoy.
"You smell yummy," she mutters. "Way better than a turtle."
Declan and Avery are a classic best friends to lovers story. Declan and Avery have the banter that best friends have that has you giggling. It was fun seeing them realize that they had feelings for each other and how they moved from the "friend zone" to more. I felt bad for both of them with the number of things from their pasts that kept bringing them down and making them doubt things. I loved how Declan proved to Avery that he was worth being with her, totally swoon-worthy. Avery's sister London bugged me a little bit with all her negativity. All in all, this was a fun book.
