I have been reading book after book this year, but I've steered away from college or high school romances as much as possible. I've just been wanting characters that are older. The books I've been leaning toward are usually darker, and I prefer older characters now. But this amazing author duo reached out to me and recommended some of their books. This one is standalone, and it sounded cute, even though it is about college students. I fell hard for this one the second I picked it up. I don't know why it captivated my attention so hard. I loved the banter between the characters and seeing them be friends and start college with these big plans. The second they get there, they meet, become friends, and are inseparable, and it is just adorable! Xavier and Cassandra got to the point where they had to reevaluate their plans and decide whether to stick to being only friends or cross that line and become more. It's my favorite friends to lovers that I've read this year, at least so far.
This one is a good palate cleanser if you tend to read heavy books that carry a lot of dark content, like me. I do really wish that Jack and Rebecca had their own book. They were just so cute, and it was always so much fun when we got to hang out with them. Plus, I'm a huge sucker for books that use their titles somewhere in the book. One of Them Girls appears quite in the story because Jack quickly points out Cassandra is one. If Xavier isn't careful, he will end up with her because she's not a fling.
