I was absolutely counting the days for Mikey Becker’s story. I’m in love with them Becker boys and I couldn’t wait to read about our eighteen year old, sweet faced baby Becker boy who’s high school sweetheart, Bailey Baker, up and left to go to Nashville to become the next big country music sensation. Leaving our precious Michael behind and heartbroken. Mikey is sensitive and sweet. He’s plays the guitar, but if you’ve read Neat you know what happens with that a little. The whole breakup, It’s was too much and he needs to get out of this town of Stratford, so he announces he’s moving to New York at the end of the summer after his high school graduation. Leaving his family and best friend, Kylie with jaws dropped and tears in their eyes.
Kylie Nelson has been best friends with Michael Becker since she was eight years old. Bonded by tragedy. They have been through everything together, all the awkward ups and downs of growing up. She has also been secretly longing for being more than friends for many of her teen years as well. She had to endure not only watching him meet and fall in love with Bailey Baker, but as his best friend her duty was to give advice and suggestions that required a “girls point of view.” So she sucked it up being the amazing friend she is, and helped Bailey get and then eventually hurt “her guy.”
Kylie was beautiful, and funny and giving and loving. All these things she didn’t even realize, which made me love her character even more. She had suffered a great loss just like Mikey Becker and yet she spent her life doing things for other people. The way she cared for her dad was so sweet and even when Mikey was hard to handle and being a complete turd she was there for him and his family.
Mikey’s announcement shook her as much as his family. So she decided then and there that this was her shot, that finally she would put herself out there and go after what she wanted. She was going to try to make Michael remember all the things he loved the most about home, then maybe he wouldn’t leave and she would finally have her chance to be with him. Would her plan work or will it backfire? Would Mikey ever see her for more than just a friend?
I loved this slow burn, super sweet, friends to lovers romance. This story compared to the other Becker Boy’s books was more tame in the bedroom scenes and was more of a slow burn and the angst and tension between the main characters wasn’t so off the charts in your face as it was in On the Rocks and Neat. BUT, this was still just as much of a five star read for me. With Michael and Kylie’s age the slow burn and sweet bedroom scenes were perfect. Michael was so respectful and gentle with Kylie and it was written in a way that you could tell that he appreciated the gift he had been given and he would cherish it. GAH! It was the sweetest. Yes, they were young but they had built such a solid foundation with their friendship, it was inevitable they would end up together. READ THIS BOOK Y’ALL!

My cr8zysockbookblock blog wrap up for this book!
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐️- The Becker Boys and the girls that have captured their hearts have become an obsession for me. I one-click these books so fast. I live for the family meals around Mama Becker’s table and the banter between this rowdy bunch of country boys. They’re as down home and delicious as their Mama’s cooking, and true southern gentlemen. If you haven’t met them yet you’re missing out.
🔥🔥🔥🔥- Sweetness overload! Mikey and Kylie were Sweet Love-Makin’ Perfection! ♥️😍♥️
🌪Cliffhanger Warning-No cliffhanger! This ending was EVERYTHING!

Popular Highlights in this book
“I’ve been waiting my whole life for you to kiss me, Michael Becker,” I said, voice trembling and hoarse. One lone tear slipped from my left eye, and I swiped it away before it could fall past my cheek bone. “How dare you do it when you’re thinking about her.”Highlighted by 327 Kindle readers- “But, the weird thing about love is that sometimes, we ask for the exact opposite of what we want, just because we think asking for the let down and getting it will be less painful than asking for love and not getting it.”Highlighted by 273 Kindle readers
- “I love you, too, Kylie,” he breathed, a smile flashing over his lips before it was gone again, and he swallowed. “I always have, ever since we were kids. But, now… I am in love with you. I am, without a doubt, head over heels, can’t get enough, want you every day, need you every night, stupidly and disgustingly in love with you.”Highlighted by 234 Kindle readers
- “You’re my girl,” he said — effortlessly, like I always had been, like it was so obvious I should have already known. “I’d do anything for you.”Highlighted by 223 Kindle readers

About the author
So Good. I need more.
Manhattan is a book that jumped out of nowhere and grabbed me by the heart and wouldn't let go. I have read Kandi Steiner in the past, but I haven't read any of this series. When I read the summary, something spoke to me and I knew I needed to read it. I didn't even notice that is was part of a series until I started looking closer at emails and such. At no time while reading the book did I feel like I had missed anything by not reading the other books in the series. Kylie and Michael are childhood best friends. Mikey has had a rough time of it lately and abruptly announces his plan to move to NYC at the end of the summer. Kylie, who is in love with Mikey, takes it upon herself to remind him of all the things he loves about their home town in an attempt to get him to stick around. What follows is a bit of a bucket list/set of activities that challenge more than just Michael's determination to leave the past behind. All the fun and shared memories have Michael questioning whether his feelingsfor Kylie are as "friendly" as he has always thought. Michael and Kylie really do have a special friendship and it is highlighted expertly by the author. You can feel Mikey's depression in the beginning and how his world gets brighter, the more time he spends with Kylie. As we know, the path of love is never smooth, and Kylie and Michael are tested by their past, their future, and by a friendship neither of them want to lose. Kylie's mom left her a legacy that seems to lead her on a journey across the country, while Michael feels that his future will be found in New York. They have a lot to overcome, choices to make, and separate paths they each need to follow. This was a captivating friends-to-lovers story that I could not put down. The characters, though young, were completely relatable, their stories intriguing, and their love indisputable. P.S. I am now running out to get my hands on the previous 2 books in the series:
