For Macallan and Levi, it was friends at first sight. Everyone says guys and girls can't be just friends, but these two are. They hang out after school, share tons of inside jokes, their families are super close, and Levi even starts dating one of Macallan's friends. They are platonic and happy that way.
Eventually they realize they're best friends -- which wouldn't be so bad if they didn't keep getting in each other's way. Guys won't ask Macallan out because they think she's with Levi, and Levi spends too much time joking around with Macallan, and maybe not enough time with his date. They can't help but wonder . . . are they more than friends or are they better off without making it even more complicated?
From romantic comedy superstar Elizabeth Eulberg comes a fresh, fun examination of a question for the ages: Can guys and girls ever really be just friends? Or are they always one fight away from not speaking again -- and one kiss away from true love?
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 6–10—Levi and Macallan meet the first day of seventh grade and quickly become devoted friends. Told in chapters that alternate between their voices, this contemporary novel follows the teens for five years. During that time, Macallan grieves over her mother's recent death, Levi strives to fit in with the athletes, and they both struggle to figure out romantic relationships while keeping their friendship intact. The protagonists are interesting characters, facing the usual barrage of middle- and high-school challenges in inventive ways, as when Macallan teaches herself to be an expert chef. When Macallan and Levi begin to realize they are in love, the awareness triggers one misunderstanding and romantic misfire after another— which becomes repetitious; the pacing suffers as a result. The book does, however, have some compelling moments, as when Macallan deals singlehandedly with a bully's taunts. With the premise of friends becoming something more, the innocence of the romance, and the age of the protagonists over the course of the narrative, this will be appeal to younger teen readers.—Martha Baden, Prescott Public Library, AZ --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
From Booklist
Can guys and girls really be just friends? Levi and Macallan met in seventh grade and bonded over their shared love of a British TV show. Throughout the years, they’ve seen themselves as buddies and nothing more, even if everyone else has seen them as a couple. Sure, Levi might spend more time with Macallan than his girlfriend, and, yes, Macallan might share more jokes with Levi than her boyfriend—but they’re better off this way, right? Or is there something more that they just don’t see? While the ending may be predictable, the journey here allows for a pitch-perfect rom-com. With a nod to When Harry Met Sally, rising YA romance writer Eulberg (Prom & Prejudice, 2011) situates relatable characters in realistic situations. There’s depth, too, as Macallan grieves over the loss of her mother and Levi struggles to remain “one of the guys.” A humorous and cozy story about friendships and relationships, and the oh-so-fine line between them. Grades 7-10. --Sarah Bean Thompson --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
