FRIENDS DON'T FALL IN LOVE
Erin Hahn

Reviewed by Jennifer Rummel

Contemporary | Romance Contemporary

Lorelai has had a rough couple of years. As a rising star in the country music world, she seemingly had it all. One night, she sang a protest song against gun violence. In the moment it was great, but then things spiraled out of control and she was canceled. Her manager fired her, her record label let her go, and her fiancé dumped her over social media. Lorelai only has one friend left.

Huck is the person Lorelai turns to years later when she’s thinking about making a comeback. He has a recording studio that he’s just getting off the ground. Huck also writes songs – and he’s written one that might be perfect for Lorelai. But it also might share his secret--that he’s been in love with her for years.

FRIENDS DON’T FALL IN LOVE by Erin Hahn is the companion novel to last year's BUILT OT LAST. While you can read it as a standalone, references to the previous book are made and there are updates on the characters. With all the current news cycle focused on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, it’s fun to read about the behind-the-scenes action of a musical career. FRIENDS DON’T FALL IN LOVE is also a great friends-to-lovers story. Everyone enjoys a comeback story and it’s easy to root for Lorelai. The end of the book hints at a third story in the friend group; I can’t wait because these books are like catnip.

SUMMARY

Erin Hahn’s Friends Don’t Fall in Love is about long-time friends, taking chances, and finding out that, sometimes, your perfect person was right there in your corner all along.

Lorelai Jones had it all: a thriving country music career and a superstar fiancé. Then she played one teenie tiny protest song at a concert and ruined her entire future, including her impending celebrity marriage. But five years later, she refuses to be done with her dreams and calls up the one person who stuck by her, her dear friend and her former fiancé’s co-writer and bandmate, Craig.

Craig Boseman’s held a torch for Lorelai for years, but even he knows the backup bass player never gets the girl. Things are different now, though. Craig owns his own indie record label and his songwriting career is taking off. If he can confront his past and embrace his gifts, he might just be able to help Lorelai earn the comeback she deserves—and maybe win her heart in the process.

But when the two reunite to rebuild her career and finally scratch that itch that’s been building between them for years, Lorelai realizes a lot about what friends don’t do. For one, friends don’t have scratch-that-itch sex. They also don’t almost-kiss on street corners, publish secret erotic poetry about each other, have counter-top sex, write songs for each other, have no-strings motorcycle sex, or go on dates. And they sure as heck don't fall in love... right?
