Then one day they took it farther than just friends. So much so that it sometimes caused issues with their significant other. Then in the 5 th grade they became inseparable friends. I’m only saying this until I figure out if she’s still “just” my best friend…Ĭarter and Arizona have been friends since 5 th grade.

Throughout the years, and despite what anyone says, we’ve never crossed the line. (We even went to colleges that were minutes away from each other…) Purchase: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Kobo | iBooksĪrizona Turner has been my best friend since fourth grade, even when we “hated” each other. We’ve been there for one another through first kisses, first “times,” and we’ve been each other’s constant when good relationships turned bad. THAT was my favorite part of this story.Genres: Contemporary, Romance, Friends to Lovers Super solid and loyal friendship that made for a great starting-off point for these two. There is a situation or two in here that made me grimace despite the intention behind the actions. This is a fun book but it isn’t a perfect book. and yet they also remained close and supported each other. I love the way that both Carter and Arizona fostered independence in one another while in college/deciding on careers, where to live, etc. I love the way they carried the note-writing throughout their childhood friendship and on into their adult lives.

It was funny, especially the way Carter and Arizona hated (but not really) each other when they were in elementary school, and the way they communicated so often with each other by writing snarky notes. They are genuinely the very best of friends.įriends-to-lovers stories are one of my favorite things, and I enjoyed this one.


Above everyone else, these two turn to one another for advice, downtime, and that constant that a best friend provides. Their friendship transforms over time into this extremely reliable thing in which the both of them as a unit is far bigger than they are individually, on their own. My Thoughts : Carter and Arizona have an interesting friendship that begins in fourth grade (or fifth, depending on which one is telling the story) and is made up of lots of rudeness, snark, and acting like each one doesn’t like the other one.
