Jade & River
Connor proposes to Jade at her 26th birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. Even though they’ve only been dating for 2 months, he doesn’t know her middle name, or has a ring, she accepts. The next day he’s off to medical school across the country and rarely reaches out. Ummm, hello, SO MANY red flags, but she still stays engaged for ages and ages and ages.
River was a funny fella, outfit choice and man bun aside (sorry not my cuppa, but to each their own) and seemed like he’d be a fun guy to hang around, but not too often because he doesn’t act his age most of the time. Not the prettiest non date they had, but I liked how when he had food poisoning the author chose to keep it real by having him compromise his pants and needing a new pair š….because let’d be real, it can happen.
Overall, this was not my favorite of Aimee’s books because it just took way too long for her to realize what everyone else saw about Connor. I wanted more on Jade and River as a couple, not just friends.
There was no doubt they had so much in common and always had a great time when they hung out. They seemed to fit together perfectly and I felt their connection. I liked their banter and the 80’s, 90’s and friends references. I’m all about a good time and they definitely have it, but they both come across as immature for being in their late 20’s. Jade is very naive when it comes to relationships. Their friendship was always referenced as platonic and they went on non dates all the time ~ there was not physical, but emotional cheating, which can still be considered cheating, and I was not really a fan of that.
Spike, the inappropriate talking parrot, absolutely stole the show for me. He and Jade had real conversations that were a hoot. I, also, loved Jade’s relationship with her biker father, her sister,
Laney, and her elderly neighbor, Thomas.
Side note ~ Jade loves Supermarket Sweep, which happens to be my most favorite game show ever!! Man I wish I could go on there and race that cart around the aisles. So fun!!
Series notes:
Not sure why it’s not in a named series, but characters from He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not and Love Notes make quite a few appearance, so I’d suggest reading those first, but I suppose it’s not totally necessary.

Book blurb:
Jade Monroe has finally found the man of her dreams.
Or has she? Despite them being newly engaged, her fiancĆ© Conner has suddenly gone radio silent. And even though her family are all giving her the same advice, (he’s just not that into you) sheās not convinced. Cue her friends who can see something she canāt.
River Matthews has always been his authentic self, without apologies. Honest to a fault, light-hearted & a little lonely. Currently he’s the last single standing in his group of friends & he’s starting to feel his ‘biological’ clock ticking. Heās got close to happily-ever-after before, but now itās once-bitten-twice-shy, and the only way heās going to find āthe oneā is if he takes a chance.
The wisdom goes that if you just stop looking, your perfect partner will appear, but who will be there when Jade and River stop searching for āthe oneā?
Sexy, sassy and downright irresistible, the brand-new friends-to-lovers romance perfect for fans of Sariah Wilson, Lindsey Kelk and Abby Jiminez.
