When Marcela Ortiz’s best friend, and unrequited love, announces his engagement to his girlfriend of a decade, she realizes it is officially time to get over him. In walks Theo Young, ex- NFL player and brother of the man she’s in love with. On the night of his brother’s engagement party, a drunk Theo is ready to announce his feelings to his brother’s fiancée and Marcela puts a stop to it. Theo crashes on Marcela’s couch and when the two show up to brunch the next morning everyone assumes they spent the night together. Marcella and Theo enter into a mutually beneficial agreement— they’ll have a fling to get over who they’re in love with. Only, Theo isn’t aware that the guy Marcela needs to get over is his brother…
Theo is an absolute sweetheart and I loved seeing him and Marcela together. I loved seeing their character growth through the book and their friendship blossom into something greater.
Marcela is a librarian and a fellow booknerd. I adored seeing her passion for books and Theo’s willingness to listen.
