I love a good friends to lovers story and Jae did not disappoint with this one! Regan and Kylie (or Ky only to Regan) have been best friends since childhood. Ky is pretty much part of Regan’s family. But that’s all they are. Friends. Right?

Everyone in their lives - from Regan’s family, to their friends, to people in the school where they both work - think they are a couple. It never works out with anyone else. They rarely ever even date at all anymore. They are always each other’s plus ones. And well…they just act like a couple. Tired of the constant comments and pressure from other people about the nature of their relationship, Regan (being the chemistry teacher that she is) decides the best way to put a stop to all of it is to do a little dating experiment to prove there is no chemistry between them. It’s just 3 dates. With your best friend of 25 years. Who knows you better than anyone else. Who’s your safe place and the one person you can’t live without. What could possibly go wrong?

The experiment doesn’t go quite as planned. Especially after that unintentional and steamy goodnight kiss…. Both women are left to figure out if this “chemical reaction” is just because of the romantic nature of their dates, or if there might be chemistry there after all. And if it’s worth risking their friendship over.

I loved this story and the connection between Regan and Ky. These two truly were meant for each other and you can see their chemistry throughout the whole book. The cheesy chemistry jokes were perfection and fit Regan’s character so well. This one is definitely a slow burn romance, especially if you count the 25 years of friendship before the book takes place, but it is so worth the wait!
