siblings are grown and on their own. She is as tough as she can be but with freedom
looming on the horizon, she is determined to finish fixing up the lake house
she inherited from her grandparents and move onto the next chapter of her life.
What she didn’t anticipate is both siblings coming back to Wildstone and
complications arise when tall, dark and handsome smacks into Piper when a big
storm approaches Wildstone. Now Piper must deal with siblings, secrets and more
as she tries to deal with emotions, she doesn’t want to feel but can’t help.
But as the secrets everyone is keeping from Piper come out, Piper finds herself
adrift and angry at the ones she loves as she tries to navigate the way her
life has become. Can she find a way to make peace with her siblings, find it in
her heart to let herself love Camden Hayes and see her dreams come true?
ALMOST
JUST FRIENDS
is the next installment in the wonderful heartfelt Wildstone series by Jill
Shalvis. The books in the series can be read as a stand alone as each book
involves different characters set in Wildstone. I highly enjoyed ALMOST JUST
FRIENDS and fell in love with Piper, Winnie and Gavin a lot. Siblings who
are fractured and two who have secrets that will rock Piper’s world more than
she ever imagined. The characters are what gives the stories in the Wildstone
series such depth. They are intriguing, wonderfully well written and totally
relatable in all ways. I especially enjoyed Winnie as she insisted, she can be
a handywoman at the lake house and watches youtube videos to figure out things.
Gavin was fun as well as he learned to make amends for past hurts when he spies
a first love that he hurt deeply. All three siblings are as different as pie
but together are equally compelling. I loved every one of them immensely. Add
in some quirky and wonderful secondary characters and man, you got a wild ride
from start to finish.
ALMOST
JUST FRIENDS
is a fun and enjoyable story set in the Wildstone series, and I love how
smoothly this book went as I was reading it. It was full of entertaining
characters, relatable items from everyday life such as addiction, pregnancy and
more that happen each day to everyone in some shape and form. Ms. Shalvis does
a remarkable job in keeping the story flowing smoothly and I couldn’t keep this
book down. It’s a perfect winter read that will keep the reader entertained
till the very end. I highly recommend this book as well as the series in
general if you are looking for a series set in a small town filled with quirky
and entertaining people and a setting that will take your breath away. I can’t
wait to see where the author goes next for the Wildstone series in general and
hope we won’t have to wait long for the next installment.
