“Friendship is really the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.” ― Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey

Better off Friends
Elizabeth Eulberg - Better off Friends 
This novel tries to answer the question that has been on the edge of people's lips since their early teens - can boys and girls ever really be friends, best friends? The story follows Macallan and Levi, who were friends from the first moment they laid eyes on each other. As time passes they grow closer and start to spend more time together, boy's assume that they are a couple so do not bother wasting time on Macallan, whilst Levi is so interested in hanging out with Macallan he forgets to pay attention to the girls who are interested in him.  Eventually, they start to wonder whether it would be better to be more than just friends or should they try to not make the situation even more complicated as it may ruin their friendship. One fight could end it all whilst one date could be the beginning of something wonderful... but is it worth the risk. I really liked reading this novel because it was quirky and funny and creates an offbeat romantic comedy which is rare in this highly saturated genre. 
What do you think about romantic comedies, heartwarming and amusing or nauseating and cliched?
Lots of Love
