It's been a while since I've rated a book five-plus stars, but I'm not all that surprised that it's the newest book from Eliah Greenwood that's earned it. P.S. I'm Still Yours  is in the same book universe as the author's Easton High  series--which I was rather obsessed with--but it absolutely works as a standalone, so if you have yet to read the aforementioned series or are new to Greenwood's work, this latest release from her is an excellent one to dive into. All that being said, I really hope that this also serves as the first in a spin-off series because there are quite a few notable supporting characters that I wouldn't mind getting to know a whole lot better, and by "wouldn't mind" I mean "desperately need to".

Marrying him, and the fortune they’ll both inherit if she specifically says I do, could be just the thing to set her vision in motion. But can she keep their decades-long relationship strictly business, or will those long unrequited feelings fool her into thinking this

She’s determined to show her ex-fiancé that she’s moved on. A fake relationship between two best friends is the perfect solution. Or is it?

With  Before the Sunset , the author add is the element of a very real friendship between the main characters, Finn Reynolds and Reese Murphy. These two have been best friends since they were children, and now that they're on the cusp of turning thirty, life has presented a couple of challenges their way. Finn may be a successful actor with a popular series, but he's also got a female co-star spreading very nasty--and very false--rumors about him. On the other hand, Reese has just learned that her ex-fiancé has started a new relationship, and now she's feeling a bit lost.
