Char Reads And Reviews ‘The Next Best Fling’

What would you do if you were in love with your best friend who is engaged to another friend? What if the best friend’s brother is in love with the bride? What could go wrong? In ‘The Next Best Fling’ by Gabriella Gamez, you’re in for a rollercoaster of emotions and unexpected twists that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Marcela is in love with her best friend, who will soon be engaged. Heartbroken and unsure how to deal with the pain, she attends the engagement party, where she crosses paths with Theo, Ben’s older brother. Marcela stops Theo from making a big mistake, only to accidentally start a rumor that she and Theo hooked up.

Theo is in love with Alice, the soon-to-be bride. He plans to break her and his brother up when he attends her engagement party. Marcela thankfully saves him from the pain of being rejected, but now everyone thinks they hooked up and are a thing. Can two people with broken hearts handle pretending to be together? Will they survive watching the people they love be happy together?

When I say, I sat down and read this book in one sitting…. I totally did! Theo and Marcela are such great characters. I love the growth they both go through in this book. I seriously couldn’t get enough of them! I think they only thought that Theo also had a point of view. I would have loved to read about his side of things. I know he is an open book regarding his feelings, but seeing a little into his head would have been nice. Seriously, though, this book is super cute and fun to read! The writing style is engaging, and the plot keeps me hooked from start to finish.
