Title: The Best Friend Problem
Series: n/a
Stand Alone Title: yes
Author: Mariah Ankenman
Genre: Romance
Blurb: Prudence Carlson has been lucky in
life. A fulfilling wedding-planning business run with her girlfriends in
Colorado, plus the best guy friend ever in her firefighter bestie Finn. All
that’s missing from it is a baby. Luckily, it’s the twenty-first century—Pru
can take matters into her own hands. She doesn’t need to find true love to
create the future love of her life.
Except all this talk of babies and insemination and…Pru and Finn cross a line
they never expected to. Sure, one night of passion won’t change their close
friendship. Until Pru goes in for a fertility check-up to find… she’s already
pregnant.
As best friends, Pru and Finn have survived college, new jobs, and bad
breakups, but can they survive crib shopping, birth classes, and late-night
cravings? Especially when Finn has never considered himself even remotely Daddy
material?
Favorite quote(s): “There’s plenty of fish in the sea.”
Raising her mug, she skewered Mo with what Finn called her bulls$%@ glare. “There’s also a lot of garbage.”
Thoughts: So I didn’t love The Best Friend Problem, but I didn’t hate it either. I’m usually a sucker for this type of romance, but I just struggled with it. The characters were a bit flat, particularly Pru and Finn. I actually felt more for the characters when it was just Pru and her friends. That romantic connection between Pru and Finn…I just didn’t feel it. The timing of changing their relationship to more-than-friends also just didn’t fit.
For me, this one was just okay.
