A Most Anticipated Book of 2025

One engagement. Two best friends. Three's a crowd.
On the eve of their college graduation, best friends Javier Báez and Marisol Campos swore never to date someone the other doesn’t approve of. Now, almost a decade later, Javi has a problem. Mari, the woman he’s secretly pined for since sophomore year, is engaged—and Javi didn’t even get the chance to vet the Pedro Pascal knockoff she plans to marry.
A successful entertainment lawyer in Los Angeles, Mari is no longer seeking Javi’s dating advice or waiting for him to declare his love. Instead, she’s made a different pact—with herself. And to succeed, Mari’s vowing to build a future with someone who wants to commit to her.
With his life and career finally on track, Javi’s ready to confess his feelings. Except Mari’s changed the script and moved on without him. Javi has just six weeks to convince Mari this marriage is a flop. If that means he needs to ruffle some feathers to help her avert disaster, well, he’s up for the challenge. After all, isn’t that what best friends are for?
Is it inoffensive? Yes. Because it's so bland it's outright boring. If there's meant to be chemistry between these people, then I'm completely missing it. It felt like all of the back story was a filler episode in a long running day drama.
I also despise flashbacks as a means of telling a story because hardly anyone ever does them in a way that doesn't annoy me. Seriously, why can't authors make the effort of showing those past experiences as nuance in people's interactions today? Ugh.
Anyhow. I was powering through approximately well until Javier ghosted the love of his life for 6 years and three months after he initiated kissing her at a party and then inexplicably chose to not have a conversation about it and instead pretend to take Marisol's lead in it. It made all of the things that annoyed me until that point become unbearable, so yeah, no.
Definitely not a book nor an author I'd recommend.
Miscommunication trope 🤢
