Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
I cannot believe that I didn’t immediately realize that Tucker was Sadie’s ex from Co-Wrecker! That book was one of the best and funniest that I’ve read all year. I fell hard for Sadie and Andrew, but felt kinda bad for her ex, since Tucker clearly was having problems moving on. He came off as a bit desperate in Co-wrecker and unwilling to face the fact that Sadie met someone else.
Which brings us to My Best Friend’s Ex, set about a year after Co-Wrecker. Tucker is still hung up on Sadie, heartbroken over the end of their relationship. While drowning his sorrows at the local bar one night, he runs into one of Sadie’s best friends, Emma (who we also met in Co-wrecker). She is about to be evicted, lonely Tucker lives all by himself in the house he bought for Sadie, and before you can say “girl code,” Sadie’s got herself a place to live. And then the fun begins!
WOW! Meghan Quinn outdid herself with Tucker’s story. He is so lonely and heartbroken and stuck in the past, and Quinn beautifully describes that brokenness. There is a true ease to Tucker and Emma’s friendship, and the way Quinn writes it, the reader is right there as they fall for each other despite their best efforts in a very organic way. One of my biggest pet peeves is when I’m TOLD such is true. I want to READ it, experience it along with the characters. And the reader gets to go on every step of the journey with Tucker and Emma in My Best Friend’s Ex.. I FELT all of Emma’s fears and insecurities right along with her when it came to how Tucker was with Sadie, and if she was nothing more than a distraction for him. And I loved how Tucker slowly comes back to life with Emma as his roommate, without even realizing that he’s developing feelings for her.
My Best Friend’s Ex was absolute perfection!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
