"This book has both humor and heart." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reviewer - LR

She's not her first love, but could she be her last?

Billy is curious when her neighbor's daughter moves back home after a divorce. A couple of gruff encounters with Andi and Billy thinks she understands why she's suddenly single. Except she can't stop checking out Andi's sculpted legs and reveling in her IDGAF personality. After a brunch disaster with crying in public, and a light-hearted game night with friends, Billy starts wondering what's next on Andi's agenda...and if it could be her.
Tropes: Return to hometown, second-chance at love, hurt/comfort.

Excerpt

"When are you going to realize that getting what you want is not convenient? It’s hard. It takes work. And guts to stand in the fire,” Billy said. It was coming out, and Billy had no way to hold anything back.

“But it’s so worth it. You’re so worth it. Because it’s what you deserve. Smart, amazing, attractive, beautifully broken you. You deserve to be happy all the way to your bones. Not get sucked into ‘familiar’ because he will never give you half of everything you should be demanding and not just settle for.”

By the wild look in Andi’s eyes, Billy was absolutely certain she’d tanked her chances. And that she had nothing to lose. Billy slipped her hands into the back of Andi’s hair and touched foreheads.

“Tell me, Andi,” Billy whispered, a howl from her guts. “You don’t want the fire.”

Billy kissed her. Thunder, lightning, hurricane-force desire pouring from her mouth into Andi’s.

Sweet Story

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2024

I don't believe I've read this author before but I definitely will be reading more of her work!
This is a sweet story of unrequited love... Or is it??
I loved Billies' friends group. They razz each other to death but you can feel that they'd do absolutely anything for each other.
This is a well written, sweet love story and I really enjoyed it. Well done!

Great toaster oven romance

Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2024

I really enjoyed this age gap, toaster oven romance between Billy and Andi. In particular, Andi's grumpy demeanor in the beginning and the way she and Billy interact made me laugh quite a bit. It was fun watching them fall in love with one another, though there were a few obstacles/twists-and-turns along the way. Billy's friend group is a plus as well and they are the kind of friends/support group that everyone should have. If you want a fun read, and especially if you enjoy the toaster oven trope, then I would recommend checking out Straight Girl Next Door.

A beautiful age gap/toaster oven love story!

Billy has been in love, and was hurt . Her neighbor Margeaux's daughter Andi is coming home divorced to live with her mom until she gets her feet under her.
Billy and Andi get off on the wrong foot, but Billy keeps handing over the olive branch. Slowly, Billy starts falling for the straight girl. This is a beautiful slow burn,toaster oven, age gap (10 yrs) love story. It's worthy of 5 stars!

Romance with wonderful characters

Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2024

I love a good romance book and this one definitely is. Billy and Andi are really enjoyable characters. I loved Billy’s friends too. They are a hoot, especially Rick and Mark. I’d read a book about them. Although Mel got on my nerves. But the story is about Billy and Andi. It was fun reading about the progression of their relationship. There are parts with Billy that made me cringe though. I was thinking, “Oh girl. You’ve gone too far.” But it worked. I would have given up a long time ago. Good for Billy because she got the girl. It's very appropriate that I finished this book on Valentine's Day. I can’t wait to read the other books in the Straight Girl series.

MARGAUX’s daughter, Andi, returns home to her after a divorce. Billie, 10 years older, starts falling for Andi, the straight girl. After attending a wild GMPB party after an invite from Billie, Andi gets caught up in the Afterglow part of the party and a bit too much wine. The 2 have a night to remember. The morning after Andi decides she’s not ready for something with Billie. Much angst and Andi avoiding any communication for much too long. Andi even makes a date with her male former prom date. HEA.

Getting Real

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2024

This was a page turner for me. It had some serious issues to highlight and then the fun side as well. I really enjoyed it. Billy and Andi have some great chemistry and all the support gives some great meat to the story.
Take them time and read this you will not regret it. Mel and Rick as friends of Billy really shows that friends are a great benefit in life.

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2024

This book has both humor and heart. The characters are realistic, relatable, and we'll developed. I had no problem picturing them and the events occurring. The story was well paced and very believable. I found myself rooting for their happily ever after.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
