Why Not Me? By Ashley Erin was a great 5 Star read for me. I was hooked from chapter 1. The book was completely relatable to so many people. I loved all characters and they all played an Important role in the book.
Allie and Landon had such a connection to eachother that they couldn’t fight it. Landon was 19 and she was 20. However, Landon was dating someone already when they hooked up. That hookup lasted 9 months. 9 long months of sneaking around worried Melissa would find out. When Landon says he’s going to end things with Melissa, they think, they will live happily ever after. That night everyone’s life changed and Landon ended up breaking up with Allie instead.
Allie was heartbroken for quite a while. Then Brendan started doing really nice things for her and eventually they started dating. Fast forward seven years and Landon runs into Allie on the road…literally! Allie has not gotten over Landon and he always knew she was the one who got away! What will happen now 7 years later where Allie and Brendan are living together in a condo they own? Will Allie forgive Landon and leave her boyfriend / best friend and give it a second chance with Landon? This book was great from beginning to end. I think everyone at some point either broke someone’s heart as a teenager or had their heartbroken and like Allie and Landon, they never really got over it. They still think back on those days.
This book had some happy times and sad times but, total worth the time to read.
Why Not Me by Ashley Erin is a tale all about the past and how, now matter what, you can’t outrun it.
Allie ha everything together – all her ducks in a row so to speak. A great job, a great set of friends and most importantly a great boyfriend. What more could she want?
But everything starts to unravel when the one person she wanted to stay in her past reappears. Having broken her heart all those years ago she has no desire to see him again.
Yet his reappearance causes Allie to question whether her life is as together as she thought.
This is exactly the kind of story I love reading so I was excited to get into this book. I was not disappointed. I loved watching the life Allie has built slowly crumble only to be reassembled how it should have been all this time. The story was so well crafted that I felt like I was on the journey way with her. A brilliant book and well worth your time.

This is my first read by this author and I absolutely loved it. The storyline grabbed me right from the beginning and the characters in this story were awesome.
Allie got her heart broke 7 years ago and for the last 6 years she has been building a life with the man that was there for her when she was trying to heal. She was finally on track with a great job, excellent friends and then the perfect boyfriend/best friend, or was she? Just as she starts to question whether she is content in her current relationship she ends up in a minor accident that just might change her life forever.
This was just an all around feel good kind of story, until of course it wasnt when the twist I thought this story might have been lacking hit and hit hard.
I truly love the writing style of this author, the words just flowed and was a very smooth read and I can not wait to check out what else there is available, and I have to wonder if there might be more coming for others in this story, maybe the brothers or the unattached twin?
Loved it!!
I’m not even sure where to start with this review. This emotional amazing book is so much more than I was expecting. When I started this book, I thought wow, Allie has it all. But in reality, even when we appear to have it all to the outside, we most often don’t on the inside. Why Not Me is so much more than a love triangle story. It’s about second chances. It’s about finding what your heart really wants. It’s about looking past the past and seeing what might be in the future.
This story could have gone so many ways, but I feel it the situations were handled respectfully. I loved seeing that the grown up versions of these people were so much more than their younger selves. I normally wouldn’t do a book that deals with cheating, but this book is so much more than that. Ashley Erin did an amazing job of telling this story from a perspective that made me think differently. Why Not Me was so much more than I was bargaining for. I loved this book from start to finish. I could not put it down. If you’re looking for an amazing story this book is for you. Please check it out.
What an emotional ride! This book follows Allie and her choice between two men that couldn’t be any more different from one another and what they offer her. Heartbreaking beginning, you feel Allie’s struggle. A very well written literary escape that will have you riding every emotion more than once.

5 Stars!!!!!
Another great author find. It is so great when you find a new author and are just dragged headlong into a book and enjoy every minute of it. This book was one of those books. I found myself putting myself into Allie’s position as it is quite similar to my life in some ways. I really like the refreshing way in which this author writes. The book has its own flow and the story has enough substance to get you hooked and not want to put this book down. I was able to relate to the trauma in which Allie goes thru as it is similar to things I have gone through in my life and I was very glad to see that she got her happy ending so to speak.
The whole chemistry between Allie and Landon is very unique. The choice Allie faces in the book and how it all ends up really had me hooked and I didn’t want to put the book down. As I have said I could really relate to Allie and I was glad that the author was able to use the traumatic twists to make the story realistic and build the story. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future!

5 out of 5 stars
The story Why Not Me? By Ashley Erin is a wonderful romance story that I loved reading. It is a book about a woman who begins to analyze her life after someone from her past comes back into her life. Allie Vincent is a woman that some would say has it all. A job she loves, a boyfriend that adores her, and wonderful best friends. While she has memories of the one that left her years ago they become more intense when they run into each other. Allie can’t seem to stop thinking about him and even agrees that they can be friends. She, however, finds herself feeling guilty, having emotional conflicts and also doubts. Her thoughts and emotions can be quite overwhelming. He has always regretted saying goodbye to Allie. That one action has haunted him and he has always wished for a second chance with her. These two have an intense attraction/chemistry when together. The connection between them is still strong after all the time that has passed. Will he get a second chance to show her how much he loves her? Will Allie give him that chance? This is a story that had my emotions going up and down. I could feel the conflict that Allie was going through and how the decisions that she is having to make weight heavily upon her. She shows herself to be a strong person. There are other times when I could feel the happiness that Allie has and I always wanted her to stay happy. This is a well-developed story that has many wonderful characters. Once I started I didn’t want to put the book down until I had read the final page. It’s a book I would highly recommend reading.
This is my first book by this author and I enjoyed her writing style as well as her attention to details. Her characters are connectable and lovable. I kind of felt bad for Allie because first she thought she had it all then she didn’t. Then she enters into a safe relationship but the problem comes when the man who hurt her beyond hurt comes back into her life with an accident. Now she is faced with a choice, you will have to read to find out. I highly recommend this book.
This is the first title I have read by Ashley Erin and it probably won’t be the last! I did have a hard time getting into this book in the beginning but once I got into it, I couldn’t put it down! I can’t wait to read more by this author in the future!
Ashley Erin creates the perfect balance between a love triangle and second chance. With a different approach, I was captivated by the story and intrigued to see how Allie’s story played out. Erin weaved a story that had me cheering for our heroine and breaking for her. I could feel her pain, guilt, confusion. Honest and real, this is much more than a love triangle. It is a book about life, struggles, and friendship. With a twist I wasn’t expecting, the story took on a depth that added to the reality of it. I highly recommend this book. It will surprise you.
Allie Vincent thought she was on track to having it all, a special man to share her life with, a career that she loves, and a promising future to look forward to… but then everything in her world comes to a screeching halt when a very special someone unexpectedly wanders back into her life, and beings to make some serious waves! Seeing Landon again was something she didn’t anticipate, when he closed the door on them seven years ago she thought that was it, that she’d never see him again. Landon was the love of her life, but she wasn’t the only one vying for his heart, and he promised that was going to change, but things came up and changes were made, changes that broke her heart in two. It took her a long time to move on from him, and if she’s being honest, there is still a little part of heart that belongs to him, but she has a new man in her life, one that helped her pickup the pieces Landon left behind.
But now both men are present in her life, asking to be her forever, both bringing things to her world she is certain she can’t live without, but her heart can only belong to one of them… problem is she doesn’t which one to choose!
Why Not Me is a heart-wrenching tale that packs an emotional punch… one that is certain to be felt long after the last page is turned. The moment I settled down with this one, and my eyes began to devour the words I was hooked, it became so addictive that I lost track of time and ended up staying up until the wee hours of the morning just to finish it! These three characters were not only amazingly crafted, but they also had undeniable chemistry that could be felt throughout, and the anticipation of Allie making her final choice, darn near killed me! Two of my favorite tropes are second chance love stories, and love triangles and I felt like I hit the jackpot with this one, (being that it covered both), it was a divine story full of angst, emotion, and passion!! I highly recommend you take a chance on this one, it’s highly satisfying!!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this title
Why Not Me? by Ashley Erin is a romance story about second chances and falling in love again like it was the first time. Following the story of Allie and Landon, she believes her life is going exactly according to plan. Perfect job, perfect boyfriend, perfect home, great friends. Everything is going along exactly according to plan until in one day it isn’t anymore. Allie isn’t ready for her life to veer completely off course until it does and leaves her in the dust. That was seven years ago, and still the sting is there. When Allie sees Landon again, all her memories come flooding back. When Landon wants to have Allie back, a second chance, she can’t seem to find it in her to tell him no. Landon has always regretted ending his relationship with Allie. That one decision on his part has always haunted him, and he has worked so hard to get up the nerve to ask for a second chance with her. The attraction is still strong between these two, something that neither of them can deny. But will their passion fizzle out or will it lead to something more? All Allie needs to do is give this a chance, but can she trust that this is real this time? This story is definite rollercoaster. Erin is a new to me author, but I am so happy that I picked this one up. If you are looking for an author that can weave a tale that will pull you in and take you along for a wonderful journey with her characters than this is one that you need to watch out for. I can’t wait to see what else Erin brings to her readers in the future!
