This was my first by Briar Prescott. I liked it. Solid writing. That seems like faint praise, but in this world of so much indy-published work, it can no longer be taken for granted.

Kirt and Joel showed up with all the important skills to convey the story arc and emotion, as expected. However, neither came through with a consistent Boston accent. Not an issue for me, but if you will be bothered by that, just know going in, it’s not there.

The story is a slooowwww burn friends to lovers, with plenty of cold feet, uncertainty, and angst along the way. It also manages to be a sweet, light, enjoyable read, with enough unique details to make it feel original. The characters are so good together, I found myself rooting for their happiness and getting a proximity buzz from their chemistry.

It would make an excellent beach or vacation read.

I will look for more from Briar Prescott. πŸ‘πŸ‘
