Is well crafted and beautifully plotted. The relationships story evolves In a way that is intense and is a perfect read.
tbh I’m not much into thgis type of book, but I picked it because it sounded fun, and I needed fun. There were laughs, sarcasm, swooning, and pretty much everything you have in your typical teenage life, including angst. Learning to navigate friendship and first romantic love without losing sight of oneself. Aunt Jelly is one of the highlights of many of this book. Great writting, great read.

Love, Lust, and Friendship is a cute YA novel about 3 high school students where the lines betweens friends, lust, and love are blurred.
Told entirely from Addy’s POV, you learn about Addy’s background and why she never wants to fall in love and why she spends so much time at the Henderson’s house. Addy has a unique personality and questions her feelings towards Ander’s very popular older brother, Topher. Ander is the best friend ever. I wish that I had someone like him when I was younger. They are both loyal and very supportive of each other. You cannot help, but love Topher. He never shies away from expressing his feelings towards Addy. However, can things always stay the same? As the dynamics between the 3 of them change, will Addy be forced to choose one brother over another?
This book is a YA coming of age novel. A lot of times authors market something as YA and the characters seem like 30 years-old masquerading as high students. Elizabeth Stevens creates characters that act like, have the maturity level of, and have the interests of today’s teens. The characters are likable and well developed. The secondary characters are fun too – especially Aunt Jelly. There is a lot of humor and the antics that Addy, Ander, and their friends pull is hilarious. This is a fast paced, YA adult romance with a HEA.
If you love Elizabeth Steven’s other coming of age books, then you will enjoy Love, Lust, and Friendship.
