Everyone says guys and girls can't be just friends, but these two are. They hang out after school, share tons of inside jokes, their families are super close, and Levi even starts dating one of Macallan's friends. They are platonic and happy that way.Eventually they realize they're best friends -- which wouldn't be so bad if they didn't keep getting in each other's way. Guys won't ask Macallan out because they think she's with Levi, and Levi spends too much time joking around with Macallan, and maybe not enough time with his date. They can't help but wonder . . . are they more than friends or are they better off without making it even more complicated?From romantic comedy superstar Elizabeth Eulberg comes a fresh, fun examination of a question for the ages: Can guys and girls ever really be just friends?

"I love the best friends to lovers dynamic."

"This was just great. I was hooked from the start and I couldn't put this down until I had read it to the very last word. It's been quite a while since I've really loved a YA book this much and I'm glad I finally got around to reading this. I bought it the day it came out, but it sat in my kindle for too long before I finally read it.<br/><br/>The only hook up I had with this was remembering how to say Macallan's name. I would pause and try to remember how to say it. It wasn't a big deal, but sometimes having a name that isn't easy to read can trip me up. But I loved Macallan and Levi. I think these two were great friends and it's always sweet when two best friends, despite ups and downs, turn into a couple. I kept forgetting how young they were in this at first, I kept imagining them in high school when they were really in middle school. But the history is great to see where their friendship started out from and the things they both struggled with.<br/><br/>Let's face it, they are both idiots. And they know it. I wanted to smack them both upside the head, but if they had realized sooner there would not have been a book. The best thing about this scenario was that you got to see the moment where each one realized why they were feeling the way they were. They were clueless about why they were feeling a certain way and it was fun to watch it click and for them to finally understand.<br/><br/>I loved the little snippets of conversation between the two at the end of a chapter. I can't remember if it was every chapter or not, but it gave some insight into what they went through and it was fun. Really fun. The author never got carried away with it and it fit so well. I love how they rib each other in good humor.<br/><br/>This was a great read and one I will probably reread too.<br/><br/><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AAFKokvRgzE/SR2DgSRuEBI/AAAAAAAAAxY/QT_hJ9DTtf8/s400/young_love.jpg">"
