I’m not a big lover of the friends to lovers trope. I just feel like they get way too in their own heads and it frustrates the shit out of me. Case in point Lucy and Elliot from @authorjchawke’s The Grand Pact.
These two over the course of the book told each other “outta your head” multiple times. So needless to say several people got messages from me about how frustrating these two were and how they just need to say damnit I like you lol.
But that being said I do believe there is a right and a wrong way to write friends to lovers and JC did a fantastic job. I truly didn’t want to put it down (unfortunately at times I had to but I didn’t want to).
Luce and Ell were so meant to be but they just couldn’t see past the friendship till one day they pushed a little too far. But then it was always the wrong time. Did they both have moments where they were in the wrong and hurt the other, yes. But in the end they realized what everyone else had been seeing and set out to do things the right way. But of course life isn’t always that easy, but epic isn’t easy 😉
And these two are quite epic in my opinion.

About the author
BRB. GOING TO BUY THE PHYSICAL COPY FOR THE SHELVES ASAP.
I am unbelievably lucky that I received this as an ARC from JC Hawke. I have been looking forward to this book for the longest time and it definitely didn't let me down. This can be read as a standalone, but I feel like it reads best if you read the Grand Love Duet prior to this one! Lucy and Elliot have been best friends for years thanks to their best friends (Mase and Nina) marriage. While there is some obvious chemistry between the two they have exclusively written each other off as nothing more than best friends, but when Elliot finds out Luce got an internship in NYC he finds a pretty good way to convince Luce to take a risk and accept it, but will this one moment of weakness between the two friends set off a sequence of events neither of them were expecting? Will Lucy meet new people and have the best experience of her life in New York City? Can Elliot let Lucy go and make something of her time away from friends and family? Will the two stick to the children pact Elliot offered up when Luce and Miller broke up? Are Lucy's new friends really her friends or is she is just too naïve to see the danger in front of her? Will it be too late when Elliot and Lucy finally decide how they feel about each other? And in the words of Ell, "Who the eff is Maxwell?" I fell in love with Lucy and Elliot in the Grand Love Duet, so when JC announced that Elliot and Luce were finally get their story I was squealing with excitement. Elliot is notorious for his playboy ways while Lucy has a five year plan that she refuses to deviate from. Through the first half of the book I believed nothing could go wrong, but watching Elliot break over Lucy in the third act breakup had me sobbing. He was so angry and watching Lucy want to fix it so bad broke me little by little, page by page. Maxwell was sus from the beginning and it irritated me so much to watch Lucy be so oblivious to the danger in front of her. Lets be honest though, it was the last few sentences that really messed me up. SCAR?! AVE?! WUT.
