About the Book



Short Summary: When Hannah's queen bee best friend Braelyn suddenly finds herself dumped, Hannah vows to help her get over her heartbreak. What Braelyn doesn't know is that Hannah is also trying to get over her crush on that same boy while also discovering that she was the reason for the breakup.



Book Synopsis



Falling in love isn't complicated . . . unless it's with your best friend's ex.

Hannah Taylor has lived in her best friend Braelyn's shadow all through high school. But when she meets Seth, the handsome and charming newcomer, she wonders if, for once, she might finally be in the spotlight. Until Braelyn and Seth meet, and Brae sweeps his attention away as only she can. Hannah is left to watch the first boy she's ever truly liked date not only someone else, but her best friend.

When Seth unexpectedly breaks up with Brae months later, Hannah vows to help her friend get over the breakup while secretly trying to move on from Seth once and for all. Because even though Seth is no longer dating Brae, you never, ever date your best friend's ex. But getting over Seth is easier said than done when Hannah learns that she was the reason for the breakup, and Seth may like her back.

For readers who enjoy The Kissing Booth by Beth Reekles, What Are Friends For? by Sarah Sutton, and The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han.
