REVIEW ➞ Better Late Than Never by Ghiselle St. James

BLURB ➞

Not every love story is a fairytale…

Savannah
Since we were fifteen years old, my best friend, Kyle Moxam, has been a constant in my life. We’ve argued, fought, blocked each other – well, I have – and made up over Pop Tarts and purple soda. We’ve been on a cycle of will they/won’t they/should they since then. We should because of our history…we can’t because of our present circumstances. And, boy, what circumstances they are! I may be on the verge of losing the only person I’ve ever truly loved. Or am I…?

Kyle
Since I was fifteen years old, Savannah ‘Savi’ Carpenter has played the role of my best friend, while my heart – and other parts of my anatomy – ached for her. Our friendship has been tested over the years, but we’ve always come out stronger through it all. Not this time. I may have pushed her too far and I don’t know if we can come back from this. Can we survive this latest test with our friendship and heart intact? I sure as hell hope I don’t lose her…because that would suck.

Better Late Than Never is a quirky tale of friendship, love, sacrifice and hope. Follow Savannah ‘Savi’ Carpenter as she navigates life, love, and everything in between, with her best friend, Kyle Moxam and the rest of the gang.

DISCLAIMER: There is no infidelity within this story, no matter how it looks. This is an angsty romance. So be prepared to throw your kindle…or at the very least, develop a complex or start drinking.


ARC REVIEW ➞

Better Late Than Never is an angsty, slow burn which I absolutely love. However, there was just something about this story that I was struggling to connect with while reading.

Savi and Kyle have been best friends for years and I loved their initial meeting. Of course, over time more feelings began to develop but the timing just never seemed right for the two of them to explore their feelings towards one another. I loved both of these characters in the beginning, but the more their story continued the less I started to like them. Kyle seemed to steal the sunshine from Savi and she almost felt like a shell of herself, especially when she started out as such a strong character.

Savi and Kyle did have chemistry and a great connection with each other. I wanted to through my kindle across the room so many times because their story just frustrated me.

If you like angsty, slow burn friends to lovers romances then check this one out.
