What Are Friends For?
By Sarah Sutton
Genre: YA Romance
FALLING IN LOVE ISN'T COMPLICATED...UNLESS IT'S WITH YOUR BEST FRIEND.
A close, easygoing friendship can all change with just one kiss. Seventeen-year-old Remi Beaufort learns this the hard way when she plays a blindfolded kissing game at a party.
She thinks she’s kissing Jeremy, the totally hot basketball player she’s been crushing on. And the kiss…it’s amazing. Heart-stopping, world-changing, toe-curling. The kiss makes her forget about her overbearing mother, the next-door neighbor’s drama, and the probability that she’ll fail her senior year. The best kiss of her life makes all that fall away.
Until her blindfold falls off, and she realizes that instead of kissing her crush, she’s kissing Elijah, her best friend since third grade.
Though she manages to convince Elijah that he was kissing his girlfriend, Remi can’t get the thought of his lips on hers out of her head. As things between them grow more and more complicated—because it turns out her fantasizing about his mouth is more of a problem than it sounds—Remi has to make a choice: does she live the rest of her life loving her best friend in secret? Or does she tell the truth and risk ruining their friendship forever?
Heart-melting and romantic, What Are Friends For? is a swoon-worthy best-friends-to-lovers story that will leave you crushing hard.
There are certain books that fall into your life at the ideal time. Sarah Sutton's
What Are Friends For? is one of those books for me. It's an impressive young adult romance that had me engrossed from the start.
This romance between best friends Remi and Elijah is intriguing and charming. The issues are realistic and emotional. The relationship, it's mishaps, it's obstacles, and it's ultimate progression are wonderfully done.
A first time author, I'm very impressed with the author's writing. She does a fantastic job capturing the voice of the characters, and excels in her storytelling process. Making things even better, the parents actually contribute to this story, and they do so in a wonderful way. Told in first person pov, the reader is easily drawn into Remi and her emotions. Everything develops nicely and I adore the way everything wraps up in the end.
Overall, the book is developed in a manner that fully pulls the reader in, and executed with the reader feeling everything the main character feels. Real situations, dimensional characters, and plenty of likeable secondary characters make this a story to love.
I always enjoy a great young adult romance, and this is definitely going on my re-read list. What Are Friends For? sucked me in with it's charm and I found myself having to read it in one sitting. I love it all and am excited to see what Sarah Sutton writes next.
