I love that this is a FFM, especially since there are so few. However, I really only liked the MMC Jason. The backstory of the characters relationships with each other at the beginning feels rushed and not fully fleshed out. I also thought it was just a best friend falls into a romantic relationship with her best friend and husband premise, but really it’s one woman had very serious relationships with both of them separately and the best friend is basically manipulated, since the other FMC always gets her way. I was not convinced that the story would have unfolded the way it did.

4.5 ⭐️

This is my first book by Kristen Granata and ohhh this was so good!!! I never read a FFM romance and I was not disappointed this was so well written.

Kourtney, Jason & Celeste each have their own back story and it just makes you love them! Their relationship felt so natural, sweet, emotional and spicy AF. Even though they struggled a bit to come to terms with their relationship, they find the courage to take the risk to be together!! Loved it!!

Tropes:
FFM/Poly relationship
Friends to lovers
Forced proximity
Hockey playing
Spicy AF

Thank you Kristen Granata & The Author Agency for the ARC.

Touching, funny, sexy…

Beautifully written and perfectly spicy.
10/10 would recommend for anyone that’s into why choose romance.
I need more McKinley and Erika and can’t wait for KrumCake to get his story.

DNF'd at 10%

I was incredibly jarring to find out the main characters were people we didn’t really know. Going into this I assumed it was going to be Aaryas book because they talked about her finding love so much in the first book. it felt like the published these books out of order. Also I love why choose but for some reason, I can only get into them if they are one female, multiple males
