Just Friends by Holly McCulloch

Good morning, everyone! Today I'm a stop on the Random Things Tours for Holly McCulloch's Just Friends. 

Bea hasn't been happy for quite some time. It isn't until her best friend's wedding, though, that Bea realizes just how unhappy she is. And when she looks around her, it seems all the happiest people have someone to share their lives with. 

So Bea takes the plunge back into the dating world where things definitely don't go as planned. But through it all—work dissatisfaction,  disastrous dating, and even some bumps in the road with her best friend—Peter is there. 

Good old Peter. The guy Bea has known since school. She would never consider dating him, until she does. Consider it. But she's been down that road before and it ended not only in heartbreak but in losing a friend as well...

Holly McCulloch's debut is a charming and sweet story about love and life!

Bea is floundering. She's working a job she's no longer passionate about and seemingly without the motivation it takes to turn the thing she enjoys into a career. 

And her dating life is nonexistent. 

Her friends are all happily paired off. Even her mom has her dog to keep her company. And Bea...well, Bea is still looking for the right someone. 

And this is the kind of story where maybe that someone has been there the whole time. But whether Bea will give it a shot and whether it will work out are, of course, the drive of the story! And I won't tell :)

Just Friends is quite fun! A flirty and fizzy read perfect to get you through the winter (cough *Covid* cough) doldrums!
