Publisher Description
“[An] exceptionally entertaining, superbly sexy love story that also freely embraces other important things in life, like friendship, family, and food.” —Booklist When Maggie's best friend admits he's in love with her, she'll have to decide whether it's worth giving up something good for something that could be amazing in this laugh-out-loud friends-to-lovers rom-com.
After a bad breakup, Maggie wants to find her Prince Charming, but all she’s finding are frogs. When her best friends, Savvy and Joan, apply pressure and demand she find a date worthy of attending their respective weddings, she agrees to take her own advice and try online dating. Since she's the maid of honor for both weddings, her bridal party duties are massive, but both brides insist that Maggie prioritize finding a date. After an onslaught of maybes, noes and hell noes, she’s close to giving up, when she meets a handsome doctor at the gym who just might be the one.
Meanwhile, her college bestie, Garrett, throws salt in everyone’s game. At every turn, he points out the red flags and tells Maggie to keep looking. Things come to a head when Maggie demands that Garrett be happy for her, and he finally admits that he can’t. Not when he’s not with her. When he blurts out his feelings, Maggie’s world is turned upside down. Now she must choose between the perfect guy and a friendship that is the foundation for everything she’s ever wanted.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Choosing between a spicy new guy and a sweet, trustworthy friend is harder than it sounds in this swoon-worthy romance from Taj McCoy. At 38, Maggie has put her pedal to the metal and vowed to find love. After some major awkwardness on the dating apps, she meets a charming doctor named Blake. Now suddenly, her love life is uncharacteristically perfect. So of course, that’s when Garrett—her best friend of 19 years—confesses that he’s hopelessly in love with her. We were absolutely charmed by Maggie and her hilarious group of girlfriends, who all feel relatably real (and whom you’ll recognize if you happened to read McCoy’s previous rom-com, Savvy Sheldon Feels Good as Hell). If you can’t resist a sweet, funny love story, don’t sleep on The Good Ones Are Taken.
