Publisher Description
""Between Friends & Lovers was an absolute joy to read, with messy, realistic, and deeply lovable characters... Obuobi’s perfect balance of humor and wisdom made this one a true standout.” — Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author
An influencer, an actor, and a writer navigate the messy ins and outs of friendship and romance in a world where social media demands perfection—or at least the appearance of it—in this swoon-worthy love story for readers of Kennedy Ryan and Carley Fortune.
To her thousands of Instagram followers, Josephine Boateng is the brilliant, dazzling self-love expert, Dr. Jojo. But off-camera, Jo’s grappling with the intense pressures of her career and her love life is nonexistent thanks to an unrequited crush on her best friend, rom-com heartthrob Ezra Adelman.
Then Ezra shows up to his thirtieth birthday party with her childhood bully on his arm—and Jo realizes it’s finally time to take her own advice. Enter Malcom Waters, the world’s newest literary darling. An introvert by nature, he would rather be home than trying to impress execs and celebs at a swanky Hollywood party. Until he bumps into Jo, and the two of them quickly realize their chemistry is too good to ignore.
But for all three, the line between private and public is as blurred as the one between friendship and love—especially when Ezra decides he might want something more with Jo. The question is, can any of them risk defining those lines to create something real?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Settle in for this steamy love triangle between a writer, an actor, and an influencer. Physician and medical advice influencer Dr. Josephine Boateng has been quietly in love with her best friend, Ezra, since college. So when she meets socially awkward best-selling author Malcolm Waters, she doesn’t know how to cope with their instant spark—at least at first. But pretty soon, Ezra realizes his own true feelings for Jo, sending her into a very public tailspin over her confused feelings for both men (thanks to social media). The sweet tones of voice actress Mela Lee readily depict the self-reliant but vulnerable Jo, a woman projecting confidence over a fragile self-image. In counterpoint, actor and critically acclaimed narrator JD Jackson offers both charm and gravel for Malcolm, a man still discovering just what a great catch he is. Jo’s choice is obvious, but we had a sizzlingly good time listening along until she made it.
