I'm not crying... okay, yes I am.
This week I typed "the end" in the final Friends Like This book, Always Like This.
To say I'm in my feelings would be an understatement.
If you're new here and have no idea what I'm talking about... Friends Like This is an 11-book series (+1 bonus novella) following six best friends from ages 16-25. Imagine One Tree Hill meets Dawson's Creek with a pinch of Friends thrown in there. It's angsty, emotional, swoony, and sweet... and the reason I decided to self-publish. I knew their story had to be told. And the way so many of you have connected to these characters is incredible to me, and more than I ever imagined.
All the books in the series end on a cliffhanger... except the final one. Typing "the end" was incredibly bittersweet, and I'm still feeling all the things. Are you ready for the final book??
Since I've finished it... it's time to start teasing you! Keep reading for a teaser from Always Like This, this week's featured books, and don't miss your last chance to grab some free books!
Just a Tease
My favorite part of Always Like This? Getting to spend time with ALL the besties, and therefore return to my forever faves, Aaron and Rae, for some fun teenage vibes. I swear, no matter how old they are, they always have a playful vibe.
(If you're a T. Swift fan like I am, I feel like So High School really hits their relationship vibe.)
🧡Rae wraps her legs around my waist again, and I lean into her, ready for round two.
“Rae?” Sarah’s voice cuts through the moment.
“Up here!”
I flare my eyes at her.
“I don’t want to know what you’re doing, but we’re ready to start the fireworks. Knock twice if you’ll be down within five minutes. Three times if you need longer.”
She tilts her head, looking at me with a predatory smile, then knocks twice.
I squint, then add one more knock.
“He’s lying. It’ll be two minutes,” Rae calls.
Sarah cackles all the way down the stairs.
I pull Rae off the door and carry her to the bed.
“I’ll show you two minutes.” 🧡
