The 21-Day Boyfriend written by A.S. Kelly, is a funny MM romance. It's a dating-my-best-friend's-best-friend story. It's funny and sweet, with a great deal of denial on the side.
Eric O'Shea needs a date for a family event. Not only does he not fit into his parents' world, his ex and the man he left Eric for will be there as guests. His best friend, Jake, offers to set him up with his other best friend, Sean. There's always been some jealousy over their friendship so Eric is hesitant to even meet him at all. When Sean agrees to help, and even sticks up for him to his family, he knows he's In trouble. When he agrees to keep helping him through the holiday season, he knows things aren't as pretend as they once were.
Professor Sean Quinn has a terrible problem of never being able to say no to people. He agrees to dinner with Eric's family. He immediately sees why he wouldn't want to be there alone. He begins to see who Eric is underneath all the bitterness and sadness. When Sean needs him to help with his sister missing, Eric doesn't miss a beat. He's there within minutes, without question. And when Eric's grandmother insists on getting to know him better and invites him to Christmas, they'll have to find a way to either continue lying to themselves or admit that they stopped pretending some time ago.
This book had quite a few twists and turns but all lead up to a great ending. There are also jerk-faced exes and nosy family galore. I really enjoyed this trope. It gives enemies to lovers vibes which can be a treat to read. Watching these men navigate their feelings for each other felt real and was easy to kind of connect to. I enjoyed their banter best.
Overall, I think this was a great read. I think it's a fun holiday story with fantastic characters and a good plot. This is my first time reading anything by this author but it certainly won't be my last.
