I was broken. We only had one thing to offer each other – friendship. A true, deep, incredible friendship. Laughter fixed us. Talking bonded us. He quickly became my everything. This is our story. I can’t … us.
He quickly became my everything.
This is our story.
I can’t promise it’s always perfect.
It might make you laugh. It might make you cry. It might even make you love.
It’s real.
It’s us.

After endless thoughts of giving up and countless times closing and re-opening the book, I finally made it through! This book was such a struggle but stubborn me didn’t want to give up on a book. I just had to finish it.
The Story:
Two strangers go through their heartbreaks and when they find and confide in each other they give each other strength during this hard time. Though when something gets better, it’s not guaranteed to always stay that way. The challenge for both of them starts when life gets tough again.
Thoughts:
I was so excited when I started to read this book because it’s the first for me by this author and since so many people love her I had to jump on the Bella Jewel Train. The blurb was interesting and I liked that it was an MC Novel.
I started reading with the expectation of reading an MC book and all I’ve gotten was a girl acting like a virgin teenager dealing with her first heartbreak. This could’ve still been good if the main character wasn’t so annoying and immature. She always put the blame on others and even people she didn’t know and the worst for me was that she repeated herself a hundred times. Everything she said, she said over and over again.
We had two near strangers who declared each other besties without reason whatsoever. Molly also didn’t seem to be shy when it came to sharing everything with this stranger though it was a shame that their conversations were always the same which became boring and repetitive. I was so annoyed with Molly and her inner monologue since the first few pages and I wanted to give up reading a few times even before I read the first 30%.
Since there was a lot of Roman’s story in this book I would have liked to read some from his POV but we just got Molly’s which made it monotonous and as I mentioned a few times now, Molly annoyed the hell out of me.
I was disappointed that there wasn’t much of the MC involved. Yeah we met some of the members but I really thought this was about some badass bikers. Jack was at least one character I liked in this book. He had some fun personality and I may even be intrigued to read his book.
Bestie is so different to anything I have ever read. Two people who’s previous relationship devastated them and they find each other the day they are having one of those days. It’s like it was meant to be.
They bond over their failed relationships and become best friends.
I loved this story, instead of instant hook up it’s a great friendship, having fun, getting to know each other. I loved everything about this story the high, the lows and their moment of clarity. It is just one of those sweet, lovely story.
(Can be read as a standalone.)
I really like Bella Jewel. However, this book didn’t do it for me. I liked how some of the events were based on the author’s past, but this story just seemed too normal. It felt like I went back to college and experienced common insecurities caused by the opposite sex.
Two people going through difficult break ups. They try the friend thing. Things get complicated, and yada yada yada.
There was also too much dialog. Characters from previous books giving relationship advice and helping the main character… It felt like an episode of Full House.
