Finishing a fantasy series means picking up the next book in Jennifer CHipman’s ‘Best Friends Book Club’ series. I was excited to start this one as it contains some of my favorite tropes to read about: enemies to lovers, friends with benefits, and workplace romance. Now that I’ve finished, it did not disappoint at all. Our two main characters, Angelina and Benjamin, are both quite complex and relatable characters. Benjamin is a big nerd on the inside, but he feels he has to hide that side of him so others don’t make fun of him. Angelina has a big fear of love and relationships stemming from deep insecurities of not being enough for the person she cares for. Altogether, these two make such an endearing and fun couple to read about. Everything about their relationship from start to finish kept me engaged. From their banter and arguments that turned flirtier as time went on, to the way they just seem to get each other completely. Chipman really has a way of delving deep into these characters and making them seem like people that can actually exist in real life…because they do. I also enjoyed getting to see more into the dynamic of the four friends this series revolves around. Now reading Angelina’s book I have the understanding from before of Noelle plus some, as well as seeing a bit more into Gabi and Charlotte. I can’t wait to delve further into their books in the future and see a fully realized picture of how these four girls make such a great group of friends. Overall, I loved this book and couldn’t put it down. It was truly a masterpiece in my eyes and Angelina and Benjamin are so far, my favorite couple in this series.
Disrespectfully Yours
