Challenge Corner discussion

Is it ever too late to leave the friend-zone?

Hi, my name is Bree Camden, and I’m hopelessly in love with my best friend and star quarterback Nathan Donelson (so is half of America, judging by the tabloids and how much the guy dates). The first step is admitting, right? Except, I can never admit it to him because he clearly doesn’t see me that way, and the last thing I want is for things to get weird between us.

Nothing but good old-fashioned, no-touching-the-sexiest-man-alive, platonic friendship for us! Everything is exactly how I like it! Yes. Good. (I’m not crying, I’m just peeling an onion.)

Our friendship is going swimmingly until I accidentally spill my beans to a reporter over too much tequila, and now the world seems to think me and Nathan belong together. Oh, and did I mention we have to date publicly for three weeks until after the Super Bowl because we signed a contract with...oops, forgot I can’t tell anyone about that!

Bottom line is, now my best friend is smudging all the lines and acting very un-platonic, and I’m just trying to keep my body from bursting into flames every time he touches me.

How am I going to make it through three weeks of fake dating Nathan without anything changing between us? Especially when it almost-sort-a-kinda seems like he’s fighting for a completely different outcome?

Send help.
XO Bree

I'm really behind but am going to start this in the next week or so.

Chapter Eight
(view spoiler)[ I'm enjoying this so far though I'm surprised these two have managed to keep their feelings to themselves all these years. This drunk scene was kind of annoying, but since I actually read the blurb for once before starting I get why it's here. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter Sixteen
(view spoiler)[ This is fun. Both of them are a bit immature for their ages but I'm enjoying it nonetheless. Nathan testing out the wink and it not working was pretty funny. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter Twenty Four
(view spoiler)[ Omg finally. I couldn't take much more of these two dancing around each other. It's about time someone was brave and admitted the truth. (hide spoiler)]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ Once they got together I was kind of bored. The waiting until marriage but getting married super quick thing wasn't for me. I didn't love the superficial anxiety rep, but I did appreciate that it was men's mental health being addressed, and thinking a panic attack is a heart attack is a common thing. (hide spoiler)]
