Off top this had me glued to the pages from the opening scene to that whack conversation with her family, to the moment I realized this was going to be friends to lovers. The anticipation of when Ahmad was going to stop playing and start flirting with Aliyah was killing me. I loved this new fresh version of He Just Not That Into You. A few things bugged me though, like him implying she was picking whack dudes, like men aren’t better at hiding their flaws and flags than anyone. I also think he could have used a little more outside the bar action and legit flirtation, and I loathed the fact that it was single POV. Overall though I really enjoyed this story, at times I felt a little long, but I’m always here for a good curvy girl romcom!
