RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Just About Over You by Carrie Aarons



What’s the worst thing you could hear your best friend, who you’ve always secretly been in love with, say? That would be telling another girl he could envision her being his wife.

I just about died when Gannon Raferty, the boy who used to borrow my pencils in elementary school, said that to the lead of the reality dating show he was cast on. Though he didn’t win her heart, he’s now a bona fide sensation when he returns to our college and moves back into the off-campus house we share.

The torch I carry for him has always been one-sided; I’m head-over-heels, soulmate-level into him while he views me as a lovable kid sister. So I decide this school year will be the one where I move on, where I finally attempt to open my heart to another. After all, if he can make declarations of undying love to someone he just met, but not to me, that’s the biggest wake-up call I could ever receive.

Until one night early on in the semester, when we accidentally sleep together. Because of course he’s going to confess his feelings now, when I was ready to give up on there ever being an us.

But just as Gannon starts admitting exactly what I’ve always wanted to hear, I get devastating news. And suddenly, I don’t want to risk losing him as a best friend. I’ve already lost too many people I love, and am on the brink of adding one more to that list.

If our romance goes south, I don’t how I’ll ever come back from it. Not only the crushing heartbreak, but the fact that we can never go back to how we were again.

My Review

I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review. 

We met Gannon and Amelie in Then You Saw Me and I was very intrigued by their story. They have been friends since they were kids and as far as Amelie is concerned, their relationship is one of unrequited love, but they always remained best friends. When Gannon, who has always wanted fame and success (we find out in this book that it is for really good reasons) ends up on a dating reality show, Amelie's heart gets broken. But now Gannon is back and things are about to get interesting. 

I really enjoyed this book! I honestly wasn't sure how Gannon and Amelie's relationship was going to play out. And with them being in college, there was a real possibility that there would be lots of drama, but that's not exactly how things played out.

Going in, I wasn't sure if I would like Gannon. In the previous book, he's not painted in the best light, but of course he turns out to be a wonderful guy. He truly cares about Amelie and when things got tough, he stepped up and was the person she needed. A big change from the person I thought we were going to get. 

If you like the friends to lovers trope, this is definitely worth a read!
