Don't Want to Be Friends

She’s been in love with her best friend for years. Moving on was supposed to be simple. Falling for someone else wasn’t.

Neely has spent years pretending she’s not in love with Dawson—her best friend, her travel partner, the one person who knows her better than anyone.

Except for the part where she’s been hopelessly in love with him all along.

But loving someone who doesn’t love you back?

It gets old.

So Neely finally decides it’s time to move on.

Enter Grayson Grant: charming, confident, and just weeks away from becoming The Suitor, reality TV’s next leading man. With his life about to become very public, Grayson needs something easy. Uncomplicated. And temporary.

A fake relationship with Neely is the perfect solution.

Until it starts feeling dangerously real.

Because the chemistry between them definitely isn’t part of the act. Grayson makes Neely laugh. He makes her want things she stopped believing she could have.

And for the first time, she’s falling for someone who might actually choose her.

There’s just one problem.

Letting go of Dawson isn’t nearly as easy as Neely thought—especially when her best friend starts looking at her like maybe he’s finally seeing what’s been in front of him all along.

Now Neely has to decide between the man she’s loved for years and the man she never expected to want.

Falling for The Suitor was never part of the plan. But neither was falling out of love with her best friend.

Don’t Want to Be Friends is a closed-door romantic comedy filled with fake dating, a swoony love triangle, unrequited best-friend love, reality-TV fun, slow-burn tension, plenty of banter, and one very complicated happily ever after.
