It's Complicated By Camilla Isley

 I absolutely love this funny, sweet, friends to lovers story. A love triangle based on two guys and a girl that are all best friends. Jace falls in love at first sight with Lori. He even remembers where he was & what she was doing. However, Lori is shy and not very popular. She is very much an introvert. And then she starts having feelings for Aiden. The third person in their three best friends group. She tells Jace right before he tries to kiss her. Shattering his heart. To retaliate he makes Aiden swear to a pact that states neither of them can have her. Nothing like that can ever happen because it could ruin their friendships & their business plan. When they meet they are all in college to become doctors. Upon graduating the open a practice together so their patients can see one of them if they aren't available. To cover up his feelings for Lori Jace develops a persona of a bad boy who doesn't do long term relationships. When the reality is he's just trying to protect himself. Everything changes when Lori sees a wedding invitation to Queen's wedding. She knew he was engaged but it seems rushed. Now she's panicking so bad she rushes to Jace's apartment. It's late so Jace's lets her spend the night. That means she hogs the bed & he hunches in the corner so he doesn't touch her. He barely gets any sleep. When Aiden shows up the next morning & Jace doesn't wake up she answers the door. Aiden jumps to the conclusion that she & Jace have been together behind his back. Aiden has always felt protective of her. Lori thinks he's jealous so she makes up a whole fake relationship. When she has to wake Jace up she covers his mouth as she tells him what she's done. He's mad & she doesn't understand why. He goes along with it because he can never say no to her. Right from the start it's obvious he's going to lose his soul after this experience. He can't keep his hands off her. What's interesting is she starts to see him in a new light because his touches & the sweet way he treats her have her confused. Lori is very quirky & Jace is her opposite which is hilarious to see unfold. Then add in the fact that neither best friend like Aiden's bride-to-be or the mean girl bridesmaids & you have a he'll of a story. And you will love how jealous Lori becomes when the bride-to-be's sister tries to make a move on Jace. You'll find out how alike Jace & Lori are because neither can confess the truth. They either run away or hide. If it weren't for Aiden they might not have made it. There is a surprise at the ending!
