The phrase "friends to lovers" was beat into the ground. Also, I had to keep reminding myself that this book's setting was current as I kept feeling like I was in the past. It was as if this novel was displaced. I don't know the rule of thumb, but I question the author's decision to include a table of contents and index, as this is a work of fiction. I'd strongly suggest the author seek the assistance of a developmental editor.

It must be excellent for a movie or a TV series because I couldnt stop reading it. The author, although still a young man, shows characters with a sharp insight, so we can feel what is happening inside them in their moments of heartbreak as much as in their moments of happiness. He writes with a real heart and describes real troubles in situations around us.

Strong relationships are built from the foundations of friendship where both individuals have a lot in common and that connection with each other, before romance comes into being as this I also believe to be the foundation of a long-lasting marriage. Your attention is captured instantly as one is able to relate to the meaning within this book, that is truth-drawing, poignant and quite emotive hence I did feel myself becoming quite tearful.
The writing is so beautiful and the meaning s behind each and every word even more so, as it touches your heart and soul as if making a hole within your heart. As you follow the characters of Claude and Kelly throughout their life from childhood friends to lovers, one can see as the years past how they open up and share their inmost thoughts and feelings hence I do feel that being able to share that with your partner is most important and to be candid in your conversations.
Life is hard and we see how they cope through various trials and tribulations, difficulties that they work through together as they stick together through the good times as equally the bad. If one is able to work together and stay strong as you ride over waves, then it shows that you have a deep-rooted connection and bond that is lasting and true.
Claude was faced with much tragedy whilst Kelly is the character whom I was able to connect and empathize with easily, hence you cannot help but loose yourself within their story.

The best basis for any relationship to grow, flourish, and succeed is a deep-rooted friendship, and that is what evokes many sentiments and thoughts relating to our own personal lives. You can look at it from an angle of a friendship or a romantic relationship or from the angle of a relationship between a mother and her daughter or yourself and a family relation as it is relevant and applicable to all.
I would like to thank the author for having his book as a giveaway on Goodreads, which I feel honored and privileged to have had the opportunity to read. Jonathan Anthony Burkett is an amazing author who is able to really see into the hearts and minds of his readers, touching their souls with his honesty and frankness on a subject that is cherished by all as I never cease to be amazed how are lives are shaped and defined by love.
This is a novel that you loose yourself within as it speaks to you on a personal and intimate level, as you are swept away by the beautiful, captivating poems and heartfelt words of sincerity. I would highly recommend it as a wonderful and delightful read, by an author who has truly impressed me with his outstanding book.
Aug 18, Katie Kenig rated it liked it Shelves: Okay, first off let me get the bad stuff out of the way. This book has some serious problems, most of which could be fixed by a good editor. There are grammar errors throughout their instead of there, poor tense consistency, missing words, etc. The first love scene made me nearly stop reading altogether because really? We rubbed on each other? We made each other feel good? There are also some issues here and there with reality; research is always the author's friend.
If you are goi So. If you are going to have police involved in your novel, you need to research police procedures. Okay, so with all that going on, why did I give it three stars? First, back when I almost stopped reading because of the love scene I went and flipped to the author info and saw that the author is 25 now. If he wrote this when the outside events in the book were taking place Obama running for his first presidential election , he was either still in or barely out of his teens.
That made sense, because when I was reading it, it reminded me heavily of stuff I've read teenagers write in creative writing classes. And, in that context, I realized if I was reading a piece of student work, I would give this a very good grade.
It doesn't have the maturity I often expect from professionally published work, but if I put this in the context of a young man just starting out, I can cut it a lot more slack. And believe me, I can be a pretty harsh reviewer and grader! Sign in with Facebook Sign in options. Want to Read saving….
Want to Read Currently Reading Read. Refresh and try again. OOSA 's review Apr 17, Hesitant, unsure and nervous, after a life-altering event, this duo decides to transform their relationship, going from friends to lovers. This novel just didn't do it for me. I tried to like "Friends 2 Lovers.
Jonathan Burkett has a story to tell, but he could use assistance in telling it. The language was awkward. While I appreciate that this novel was written minus all the slang and Ebonics we see much of our youth using today, this use of language was not practical. I constantly asked myself, who talks like this? These characters spoke like greeting cards. If the characters' names were omitted, I would not have been able to distinguish one from another.
All the characters sounded alike, young and old, male and female. As the tale unfolded, some scenes were unbelievable and not true to life.
From Friends 2 Lovers, you will experience how exhilarating and wonderful the ride can be, even if there are challenges and obstacles along the way. Claude and Kelly have been best friends since they were children. How will he face a life with so much pain at a very young age?
