Welcome to the Shell Grove series: if you’re looking for a new small town, a little friends-to-lovers, and some SPICE (seriously, I was blushing HARD) then Reasons Why Not To Date The Best Friend by Melanie Munton is your spicy romance novel to read this summer! This book works as a standalone and I haven’t read any others in this series.

Meet Maggie. She’s been best friends with this guy Finn since she was 15-years-old. Meet Finn. He’s been best friends with this girl Maggie since she was 15-years-old. Together they make memories, throw parties, they even own a dog together. They also seem to be the last two people single and unattached. Will they realize that true love can be in front of you, waiting for you to take the chance? Or will one of them move away from Shell Grove before they have their chance?

I enjoyed Shell Grove and how the characters were rough around the edges and the banter had me laughing along as I read. Their profound love for friends, family, and each other made this a page turner for me. I was not ready for how spicy this book was and I’ll be honest, some scenes had me SCREAMING. If you like something with five tamales, this is the book for you.

Thank you to NetGalley, Xpresso Book Tours, and Melanie Munton for a temporary e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.
