Dickson University’s reigning social king can get any girl on campus to fall for him…except the one he’s been silently falling for his whole life.

Campus legend. Life of the party. The guy everyone wants to know.
That’s me—Ace Kelly.

But the one person who truly knows me? Julia Brooks.
My best friend since we were kids.
Julia’s the kind of girl everyone loves. Sweet, painfully beautiful, and steady, she’s always been my constant.

Somewhere between childhood and college at Dickson University, I fell for her. Hard. And I’ve been running an incognito mission ever since.

Operation: Make Julia fall in love with me...without ruining the friendship.

Flawless plan, right? Wrong.
One catastrophically stupid moment—fine, several—might’ve blown everything apart.

We’ve always had our fifteen-minute rule: get mad, shout, hate each other all we want, but when the time is up, we're back to best buddies.

But this time, fifteen minutes might not be enough.

Not when Julia’s trust and our entire lifetime of “us” is suddenly on the line.

I’m in love with my best friend.
And come hell or high water, I’m not giving up my girl without a fight.

MY REVIEW

Ace Kelly has just opened his eyes and realized what everyone else around him has always known - he's in love with his best friend, Julia. He cannot believe he's just now coming to this realization, and that it's something he's apparently felt forever but just didn't know. But now that he does realize it, he has one mission - get his best friend to fall in love with him, too. No problem...

Oh Ace...he is so definitely Thatcher's son 😆 The shenanigans he gets up to, the things he does with Julia's love his only goal - pure Kelly! But ah to be the person he was so focused on. I don't know how Julia didn't admit it earlier because once he came to his realization, there was to be no other outcome but Ace getting his girl. Julia's dad Kline may not have been that thrilled with the whole idea (I mean, the Kelly's are a lot 🤣), but everyone else was, and so was I, because this couple were soulmates, even if they weren't exactly in on the secret for far too long. Dickson University has been awesome so far but Ace and Julia I think are the most fun. Really, there's no way that Thatcher Kelly's son wouldn't be the swoony but goofy guy his dad was, especially when he was in love. All of the OGs are around for our couple - meddling, supporting in their own ways, and in the case of Ace's younger, kinda scary little brother, Gunnar, proving that the second generation is carrying on their parents' legacy with their own, equally humorous, style. I can't wait for whichever couple is up next!
