Just Friends by Jo Lovett is a cute, easy read that would be perfect for the beach. Lily and Matt are two exes brought back together by a wedding on a small Greek island. They have lived completely separate lives for 8 years but are brought back together due to proximity, a bridezilla and a ferry strike. This book shows the importance of honest communication and the long lasting impacts your childhood can have on you.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Just Friends is all about the right person but at the wrong time. Lily and Matt used to be together but have now been broken up for 8 years. Now, 8 years later, they are reunited at a wedding in Greece. Neither one of them really knew that the other was coming to this wedding. But as they spend some time in Greece before the wedding they are bound to bump into each other even if they’d rather ignore each other.

It was a really good read! Although, I didn’t like how the issues between them were drawn out and at times Lily not communicating with Matt made me mad.

This was a really cute, wuick, easy and fun read that was well written with an adorable storyline and well developed characters that I found really relatable. A really enjoyable read.

A quick and easy read that I found myself picking up after a long day to unwind. The characters are beautifully written and I came to love them within the first few pages and was rooting for them all the way to the end. At times I wanted to stop reading because I just wanted the experience to go on for longer. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really enjoyed reading this book as it was quick and easy to read, and the plot was very enjoyable.
The story is very will-they-won't-they and that kept me hooked from start to finish.

The main characters, Matt & Lily, had great chemistry and I loved Lily's personal development with accepting help from others and eventually opening up to Matt.

Overall, this was a very cute read and I really enjoyed it!

I enjoyed the Greek setting, nice easy to read rom com. I felt the issues were a bit drawn out and some of the conversation was awkwardly written but overall I enjoyed the book and the characters were sweet. I liked the friendship of the four women and that it read really realistic

Ah! You know those kinds of book you read and after, you can't stop visualizing some scenes? This describes my feeling.
It took me 2 days to finish this book. I could not resist it.
It was fast-paced, funny and wonderful.
I love this book!

An enjoyable read, I finished this book in one sitting, I would definitely recommend this if you are looking for something to take your mind off the world as it stands right now. I give it five stars

Just Friends follows Lily and Matt, two exes who find themselves attending the same wedding on a small Greek island. This was a quick and easy read, but I struggled with a lot of the side-characters, which made it harder for me to enjoy this. For example, the bride, one of Lily's supposed best friends, was really quite awful to her (+ everyone else) throughout and this wasn't really addressed aside from the constant 'bridezilla' references.

Sometimes things are meant to be, but the timing isn’t right. Lily and Matt were together, but have been apart for close to a decade. Now they are reunited for a wedding in Greece. Can the timing, now, be right for them? I liked the setting. I love the exes reunite at s wedding theme, one of my favorite story plots. Communication between the two seems to be a bit better the second go around. I was about ready to toss Tessa into the sea with all of her bridal histrionics.
I loved the ending and the cover is perfect.

OOOH yes loved this. A great awkward encounter to kick things off and this blossoms into a really lovely read. Possibly the most awkward round of applause ive ever read but lots of fun moments in this as well as some sentimental scenes. Great chemistry between Lily and Matt. Fun, pleasant and endearing.
