Him! that's right he's always had this connection with Mae and knows her better than anyone understanding that she doesn't want to ruin their friendship she has never seen him as more than a friend... or has she?
Mae is a popular influencer most recently she has been dating this guy Eric (also an influencer) for awhile now but things are shady with him like how he never wants to introduce her to his family and how he has been pushing her off with their dates recently. After they have a very public break up she finds out that he has been cheating on her for an unknown amount of time... did he ever even care about her at all?
Mae, while she is upset about the end of her relationship she has responsibilities to her sponsors and her fans and has to continue to be on point while doing live feeds even though she's sad.

This book will have you rooting for Reed and turning pages wondering when Mae will just see how the perfect guy has been there the whole time! Drama with the ex throughout the book but doesn't take up a huge part of the story.
It took me a bit to get into this book I'm probably a bit older then the intended audience, but it was a cute best friends to more story and you can really see the love the couple has for each other throughout the book.
