Debra,
I liked it…and Penelope and Hayden。 I’m not a fan of time hops though and this was back and forth the entire book。 If that’s ok with you, you’ll enjoy this sweet read。
Joana F。,
5 stars This was my first book by this author。 I absolutely loved this book。 I loved the relationship between the characters and the banter。 I definitely want to read more of this authors books。

This book was fun! Penelope and Hayden are best friends but things didn't start out like that, Hayden was Penelope's brother Travis' best friend first。 But Travis leaves Seattle for Vegas in order to make it big as an MMA fighter and asks Hayden to look after his little sister。 Penelope was a figure skater and number 1 in the whole world while Hayden was trying to develop his dating app。 At first Penelope and Hayden could barely stand to be in each other's presence because he had to look after h This book was fun! Penelope and Hayden are best friends but things didn't start out like that, Hayden was Penelope's brother Travis' best friend first。 But Travis leaves Seattle for Vegas in order to make it big as an MMA fighter and asks Hayden to look after his little sister。 Penelope was a figure skater and number 1 in the whole world while Hayden was trying to develop his dating app。 At first Penelope and Hayden could barely stand to be in each other's presence because he had to look after her and she blamed him for Travis leaving。 After a breakup, Penelope calls Hayden to pick her up and from there, they started to develop a friendship。 Years later, Hayden is now a billionaire and Penelope a figure skating coach, they spend almost all their time either talking, texting or together。 Hayden is still giving Penelope advice about all the men she dates and he's forever having to send off apology letters or notes to people he's offended。 I loved how comfortable they were with each other, Penelope and Hayden were honest to each other about everything except for how they felt about one another。 I did love how the story went back and forth between the past and the present because it shows how deep their friendship truly is and how it became what it is now。 I loved the whole Tinder thing and how it weaved through the story。 I liked Hayden, he was a cocky bastard but he cared about Penelope and did so much for her over the years because he loved her。 Penelope was a smart and talented woman who wanted to skate and beat her mom's figure skating record。 She was a romantic and loved love and just wanted to find the one。 When Penelope and Hayden do finally get together, it is everything and more, it's like they unleashed something in one another。 They spend all day, everyday together having sex, traveling the world just having fun。 They soared so high that when they fall back down it crashed spectacularly。 I was sad for the both of them because of how much they love each other。 Hayden groveling to Penelope to get her back was sweet and after everything was said and done, they knew that they belonged together。 I really enjoyed this book, and the chemistry between Penelope and Hayden。 I think Travis deserves his own book and even Tatianna, Penelope's other best friend/ex-frenemy。 。。。more

Loved Hayden, not that big of a fan of Penelope。 Nonetheless happy to get a full length novel by Whitney G。!
Stephanie Halford,
Couldn’t put it down I laughed so hard on some parts, I loved the banter they had it was so funny 。 I couldn’t put it down once I started chapter one 。 The sexually tension was so good。 I couldn’t wait for them to get it on ,& man Hayden didn’t disappoint at all! Such hot scenes I had to cool myself down 。 Definitely a 5 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read for me 。

Misha,
4。5 starsSo funny。 I loved this。 It was so sweet and adorable。 Hayden and Penelope were so good together。 I loved the no holds barred arguments。 Beyond nasty to each other but couldn’t help but laugh at the narrative。 I also loved the caring they all have for reach other。 Even Travis。 It was a feel good book。 I need me a Hayden。
Wendi Boyd,

3。5/5 stars (i think)CWs: (view spoiler)[sexual harassment, amnesia, injury, ableist words, brief joke about animal death, mention of loss of parents (in the past, not detailed), rape (in the past, brief, not really addressed afterwards), hypothetical mention of grooming (no grooming actually happens) (hide spoiler)]I completely flew through this book cause I was so invested in Hayden and Penelope's relationship。 It's best friends to lovers which I always adore。 I mostly had a lot of fun reading 3。5/5 stars (i think)CWs: (view spoiler)[sexual harassment, amnesia, injury, ableist words, brief joke about animal death, mention of loss of parents (in the past, not detailed), rape (in the past, brief, not really addressed afterwards), hypothetical mention of grooming (no grooming actually happens) (hide spoiler)]I completely flew through this book cause I was so invested in Hayden and Penelope's relationship。 It's best friends to lovers which I always adore。 I mostly had a lot of fun reading it, it was steamy, and the friendship between them was SO STRONG。 It has the brother's best friend trope and the brother was a disgusting asshole tbh。 There were some questionable lines and other stuff that I didn't love。 But i think i mostly really liked it? 。。。more

At long last I had been waiting for this book for a while。 I have to say it didn't disappoint。 I loved it, Hayden is adorable。 I would love to see what happens with Pen's brother if he hooks up with Tati。 I'm so glad I kept a eye out for this book Miss G。 You had me hooked just from the title。 At long last I had been waiting for this book for a while。 I have to say it didn't disappoint。 I loved it, Hayden is adorable。 I would love to see what happens with Pen's brother if he hooks up with Tati。 I'm so glad I kept a eye out for this book Miss G。 You had me hooked just from the title。 。。。more

I loved this couple so much! I found myself rooting for them throughout the entire story even when they frustrated me。 I loved the banter and the steam。 Their chemistry was off the charts! I enjoyed being on their journey and I loved getting to read a longer story from Whitney G。 I can't wait for more from her and I am excited to see what she has in store for us next。 I loved this couple so much!

I'm one of those people who has a really hard time leaving a book after I started it, even if I'm not entirely liking it! Whitney is one of those authors who I mostly like her stories because they're normally a quick fun read, but this book was soooooooo long, even if it was mostly blank pages that I just don't understand (I'm glad most of the reading is done by iPad now, because her books would make the forest cry big time with all the empy blank pages in her books), but I digress, back to the I'm one of those people who has a really hard time leaving a book after I started it, even if I'm not entirely liking it!

I actually don't dislike her too much, her history is so tragic and traumatic that I actually understand and I'm not surprised by most of her behavior, she clearly has really BIG abandonment issues, no surprising!Hayden was mostly well adjusted even if he too had a tragic story (but not as awful and cruel as hers), but he was pretty dependant on her too; she needed to be always a damsel in distress (over the most ridiculous and inappropriate things) and he always had to come the rescue!And don't get me started on the brother! He's a clinical case! He's so selfish, self absorbed, delusional, power hungry and borderline phychotic (not to mention almost homicidal), that I'm pretty sure he must have some brain damage from all the hits!The one I really liked was the roommate, she was so sweet and loyal! The assistant was pretty good too, she was very funny! If there is a series I hope both of them have their stories! 。。。more
Danielle Smith,
So page turning good!!!I would give this 100 stars if I could。 And now I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out if I've ever read any other books by Whitney G。 And if I haven't I have honestly really missed out。 This book was amazing。 I laughed out loud and felt anxious wondering about what was going to happen。 I could not read or turn the pages fast enough。 I'm not gonna give away any details。 I'll leave you with my advice though。 Run to your nearest book store or get your clicky finger ready So page turning good!!!I would give this 100 stars if I could。 And now I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out if I've ever read any other books by Whitney G。 And if I haven't I have honestly really missed out。 This book was amazing。 I laughed out loud and felt anxious wondering about what was going to happen。 I could not read or turn the pages fast enough。 I'm not gonna give away any details。 I'll leave you with my advice though。 Run to your nearest book store or get your clicky finger ready and devour this book!

I literally devoured it from start to finish。One of my most favourite tropes is definitely friends to lovers and this one completely nailed it。The banter between Penelope and Hayden was just brilliant, it was so funny and had me me laughing out loud a lot。 This pair were true best friends, though they were definitely destined for more。This pair had so much love and respect for each other that it was only a matter of time that they realised they were more Oh my goodness, this book was AMAZING!!!

Hanna,
Honestly better than I expected。 Not life changing, but fun。I think the characters could have been developed far more, personality wise。 Penelope could often feel flat as an adult, due to the main focus on her younger self。 She wasn’t ever really anyone other than a person he talks to all the time who wouldn’t know a boundary even if she crossed one。 I really don’t like the friends to lovers trope when the plot relies on the two main characters knowing each other while the female protagonist is Honestly better than I expected。 Not life changing, but fun。I think the characters could have been developed far more, personality wise。 Penelope could often feel flat as an adult, due to the main focus on her younger self。 She wasn’t ever really anyone other than a person he talks to all the time who wouldn’t know a boundary even if she crossed one。 I really don’t like the friends to lovers trope when the plot relies on the two main characters knowing each other while the female protagonist is a minor and the male counterpart is much older, regardless of whether they’re platonic。 The age gap is weird and the discussions surrounding relationships, masturbating etc。 while she was a minor/in high school made it weirder。 Let’s not do that。 。。。more
Chandel,
I made it through it。。。barely。 The characters where too immature for my liking and just meh。 The chemistry wasn’t there for me with them。
Escapist,
I like friends to lovers romance。 I like how their friendship evolve throughout the story。 It began since Penelope was in high school until her 20s。 I like the time span so much that I give this book 5 stars。 I really felt their connection because of all the years they’ve known each other。 It made me believe in their love and it made believe a playboy like Hayden can fall in love and stay commit to Penelope。
