Review: The Best Girl by Emma Harrison
I enjoyed reading about all the wedding prep and the strong bond between the main character and her brother. Despite all this, I was very frustrated with the main character. She feels as though she has to change herself to be likeable, and the whole relationship between her and Connor is based on lies. The story is still interesting, though, and I didn’t hate it.
❀ Quick Winter themed read
The Best Girl by Emma Harrison is one to pick up if you are looking for a quick winter themed read. It has an interesting concept and the story is lots of fun.
