I liked Cori for the most part because she never let herself become anyone’s doormat. She understands that he wants to be a bachelor for the rest of his life and supports him and his choices. Cori knows everything about Dean, including his lack of desire to be in a relationship, to get married and/or to have children. They’re BFF’s although being the manly man Dean is, he hates using that term to describe himself.

I appreciated that from the author.Ĭoriander, AKA Cori, is stunning, sweet, caring and the perfect girl friend for Dean. He wealthy, but not flashy with his money, in fact, it’s downplayed in the book. He’s fucked a million and one women and gives no fucks about it. What he is great at is being an impressive boy friend.ĭean is a self appointed asshole and makes no apologies for it, and I can respect that. That’s one of the cutest things about this book, really. I just can’t rock with some of his ways as far as his outlook on women. He’s funny, charismatic, charming, and a pretty nice guy. Now, I’m not saying I don’t like Dean because I do. This book is told completely from Dean’s point of view and is the perfect example of how much of an idiot men can be. If there is one thing I want to teach them is NEVER to let someone treat you as an option. I may not be the best mother in the world but I am the best for my kids. I want her.All I have to do is convince her we can be more than friends. Until the invisible line between friends and lovers became blurry. I’m the boy friend-the loyal shoulder she cries on, the dispenser of coffee, sympathy, hugs, advice, and affection with no expectations. Seriously, no awkwardness, no secret yearning for our relationship to escalate beyond the purely platonic. A match made in heaven.ĭid I mention she’s smokin’ hot? I’ve checked her out…maybe once or twice. Together, we’re like peanut butter and jelly, spaghetti and meatballs, wings and beer. We’ve been inseparable since the day I pulled one of her pigtails and she punched me in the gut. Again, that’s just me.Īccording to the law of attraction, women and men can’t be friends.Ĭontrary to this myth, my friendship with Coriander Phillips does not rest on unrequited love or un-actualized lust. Please try to keep in mind that I am not a writer and I have ADHD so my review may seem all over the place. I’m going to get a bit messy with this one, but not too much. I’m going to throw in some random thoughts here and there too. That’s how I ended up reading, The Boy Friend by Mika Jolie.

I’m not a big fan of romantic comedy books, but I figured, why not, considering my current state. I had a bunch of stuff going on in life and I needed a light, enjoyable read. I’ve been a little bit emotional this last week. This was almost a 4 STAR read, then it became 3 STARS, after awhile it redeemed itself slightly to a 3.5 STAR book.

Need you now mika jolie
