"Her Best Friend's Brother" by T. J. Dell
My Book Summary : Elizabeth (Libby) has been in love with her best friend's, Melanie (Mel), older brother, Anthony (Tony) since she was 7 years old. While Tony has been in love with Libby ever since she was 16 years old. However, because of one miscommunication or another it takes both of them fifteen years to tell each other what they truly mean to each other. This story follows their constant friendship/relationship and their fond memories of each other, while proving that if you don't succeed the first time with the person you want to be with, then you have to try and try again until you get it right!
My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars, this novel proves that if you truly love someone it's hard to let them go for good. I loved the chemistry between Libby and Tony! And while I know there are some reviewers that got annoyed with how long it takes the two of them to get together, I believe that it all worked out for the best, because who knows if they would have been able to accomplish everything they did if they had gotten together earlier in their lives.
Anyway ... as I was saying ... you can't not root for the two of them throughout this book! In truth, other than Tony's gentlemanly tactics when it came to Libby, the only thing that really keeps the two of them apart is Tony's sister, Mel (who is Libby's best friend), and I'm not always certain it wasn't on purpose in a few ways. Therefore, for me the only character I didn't like, mostly/only towards the end of the novel, was Mel and the way she swoops in. True things might not have panned out between Libby and Tony the way they did if Mel didn't create the crisis. However, I still didn't like it. =0/
Again, with that being said, I LOVED the main characters, Libby and Tony, and this novel!! I recommend it to anyone who likes reading romance novels where the main characters go from teens to adults.
Book Teaser(s) :
Teaser #1 ~ within Chapter 1
He remembered very clearly the night Ms. McKay had come home in the early morning and found him and Libby fast asleep wrapped up in each other on this very couch. When she had shaken Tony awake he had wanted to crawl under a rug. Although-- she had been very sweet about the whole thing. Thanking him for being such a good friend. For sacrificing his Halloween night and for tucking Libby back into her bed since the medicine had knocked her out cold. That had just made him feel worse; because of course Tony had had his own less than honorable reasons for being there that night. ~ within Chapter 9For more information on this book, and/or any other books by T.
