There are three things you should know about me.

• I hate running. No, really. I only run when someone’s chasing me, and thankfully that’s never happened.
• My ideal Friday night includes pizza, The Princess Bride, and dancing with abandon.
• And, I’m madly in love with my best friend.

That right there, that’s my secret.

Trevor, and I grew up next door to one another. Yes. He’s the boy next door. Even now, we rent opposite sides of a duplex, and we work across the aisle from one another at the Corn Corners Tribune. Basically, there isn’t a part of my life Trevor hasn’t touched. I take that back. Me. He hasn’t touched me.

He’s made it clear we’re in the friend zone and whatever feelings he had for me were a passing thing for him, while mine keep growing like a Chia pet on a humid summer day in the midwest. Unruly, and apparently pointless.

So, now I’m resigned to get Trevor out of my system once and for all.

If only Trevor would see me as more than a friend … But, unless he shows me otherwise, I’m going to have to do what it takes to move on.

Friendshipped is a laugh-out-loud, small-town slow-burn friends-to-more romcom with a cinnamon roll book boyfriend, and a found-family friend group. When these two finally kiss, you’ll get all the sizzle you ever wanted in a closed-door romance with a happily ever after that will leave you smiling!
