Just About Over You by

Carrie Aarons is now live!
What's the worst thing you could hear your best friend, who you've always secretly been in love with, say? That would be telling another girl he could envision her being his wife.
I just about died when Gannon Raferty, the boy who used to borrow my pencils in elementary school, said that to the lead of the reality dating show he was cast on. Though he didn't win her heart, he's now a bona fide sensation when he returns to our college and moves back into the off-campus house we share.
The torch I carry for him has always been one-sided; I'm head-over-heels, soulmate-level into him while he views me as a lovable kid sister. So I decide this school year will be the one where I move on, where I finally attempt to open my heart to another. After all, if he can make declarations of undying love to someone he just met, but not to me, that's the biggest wake-up call I could ever receive.
Until one night early on in the semester, when we accidentally sleep together. Because of course he's going to confess his feelings now, when I was ready to give up on there ever being an us.
But just as Gannon starts admitting exactly what I've always wanted to hear, I get devastating news. And suddenly, I don't want to risk losing him as a best friend. I've already lost too many people I love, and am on the brink of adding one more to that list.
If our romance goes south, I don't how I'll ever come back from it. Not only the crushing heartbreak, but the fact that we can never go back to how we were again.

MY REVIEW
Amelie's best friend is back and for the first time, she's not happy about it. Now that she's finally getting over her hopeless unrequited feelings for him, he has to come back and seems to be determined to mess with her already battered heart. Gannon has been her person since they were children, and she's been in love with him the whole time. But after seeing him declare on TV that he wanted to marry some woman on a reality show, yeah, she's done. Now she just has to get her heart on the same page as her mind, because she's not going to lose herself any longer to the guy who doesn't love her back.
Unbeknownst to Amelie, Gannon's loved her as long as she's loved him. But he didn't believe he's good enough, or good for, her. But realizing he's about to lose her to some guy has done something to him. Can he get over his phobia of love and finally tell his person how he really feels?
Whew, the angst and the back and forth just about killed me! I loved that they finally got on the same page, though, and found some happiness together. They made an adorable couple once they actually got together, and their whole crew was along for support. I'm not sure which of their friend's story is next, but I will definitely be reading it now that I've fallen for this circle of friends.
