Sunny Shelly’s Review: My Famous Frenemy, by Piper Rayne

Another great addition to Piper Rayne’s Greene Family series! Gavin and Posey’s relationship in My Famous Frenemy is like her teenage dream came to life, but the real guy that Posey gets to come home to at night is a million times better than the TV heartthrob she crushed on as a high schooler!

I really loved the development of Gavin and Posey’s friendship and how that became more romantic after a night at Ethel and Dori’s retirement center. (OMG, that fallout shelter room must see some action!!! BWAHAHAHA)

I really empathized with Gavin, how so many people in his life had used him for their own personal gain. Even though Posey had a crush on him when she was a teenager, she kinda didn’t care about where he’d come from. Posey, meanwhile, is still carrying a lot of emotional baggage from when her parents split up, and has this fierce need to still protect her mom at all costs. And when that need to protect her mom puts her at odds with Gavin’s desire to take control of his life and do something for himself — ie, be mayor — it puts these two at odds. Will their relationship ever recover?

Props to Piper Rayne for a wonderful grovel scene where the heroine is the one in the wrong and needs to make things right. It was so emotional and heartfelt, and my favorite part of the book! PR also set the stage for an epic showdown with Xavier and Clara and I can’t freaking wait for their book!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
