BOOK REVIEW — The Secret to Dating Your Best Friend's Sister by Meghan Quinn
He is an extremely attractive man. He’s the man you don’t believe exists until you actually meet him in real life and practically swallow your tongue the minute they make eye contact.”
My first ever Meghan Quinn book and I am left wondering why I have never picked any of her books before!
The Secret to Dating Your Best Friend's Sister (phew! that was long! LOL.) is an entertaining and absolutely charming friends-to-lovers romance that made me laugh and swoon and fall in love with Bram and Julia.
Bram and Julia have known each other since college. They met at a frat party when Bram found out that his best friend's, Rath Westin, sister was coming to her first ever frat party and lo and behold enters a girl in tube socks, sports shoes and an outfit that screams stay away and Bram and even I couldn't help but be more taken with her.
Years later, a lost bet between Bram and Rath and Roark, ends up with Bram getting set up through a dating website that is developed and processed by none other than Julia Westin.
From then starts a series of witty and equally sassy banter between Bram and Julia, where Bram makes Julia break her set-in-stone rules and after a few hiccups these two were running like a well-oiled machine.
Bram wants to prove to Julia that his college frat boy ways are a thing of the past and he is now a successful self-made millionaire who knows what he wants and goes after it.
Your beautiful head has prevented your heart from beating to its full potential. Let your heart beat…for me.”
I ADORED Bram! He was this mix of his college boy when it came to mischief's and hanging out with his best friends and the self-assured adult self. Bram is patient, passionate ad all around swoon-worthy guy.
I loved Julia in her tube socks and quirky ways and how she was unapologetically herself. Yes, she frustrated me at times because of her very set ways and how she relied too much on her system of finding the "perfect" match. Had she allowed herself to follow her heart the way she was ruled by her head, she would have seen and understood things that were happening right under her nose and would have realized that Bram was truly in love with her.
Other than Bram and Julia, I loved the solid bromance that was going between Bram and Rath and it has to be one of my favourite aspects of the book and the best non-romantic relationship I've read in a while.
The Secret to Dating Your Best Friend's Sister is what I look for in a romantic-comedy and Quinn delivered a book that is funny, sexy, swoony and an all-around fantastic read.
