I just finished reading Forever After All by Kaylee Ryan, and ooohhh-eeeee, this was GOOD. If siblings best friend is a trope you enjoy, then go grab this one. Oh, you like friends to lovers? Well, then grab this book! Oh, it's small town romances that you like, gotcha, go read this book!
Forever After All is the story of McKenna (Kenna) and Rip. These two have known each other since McKenna was 7 years old. Back then Laramie and McKenna started their friendship, and thought they were destined to be sisters one day. It was about that time too that McKenna and Rip had their first marriage ceremony, AND shared their first kiss. Fast forward many years later, and McKenna is returning to town after graduating from law school. She is determined to take over her grandfather's practice, but first she just needs to pass the bar exam. First things first though, it's time to reconnect with her friends. And well Rip, is overjoyed that Kenna is back in town. He's also ready to act on the feelings that he's had for quite some time now. He fully believes that he and Kenna belong together. Now he just has to convince her through words, actions, and time together. Can these two friends have a happily ever after?
It's no secret that I love small town romances, as well as the best friends sibling trope. Add in friends to lovers, and just hand me the dang book. Chances are I'm going to love it. So when I read Forever After All by Kaylee Ryan, I was done for. I literally read this book in a day, and did not want to put it down. I found myself falling for the characters and wanting to explore more of their community. From the moment Rip and McKenna saw each other again, I was rooting them on. The history that they share. The friendship that they have. The connection that their families share. All of it is just so wonderful. Add in the fact that they both have crushes on each other, and just yes. YES YES YES. I will say the personal history that McKenna is still working through hurt to read about. Knowing her past broke my heart a bit. Thankfully her grandparents are an amazing support system for her. I loved everything about Forever After All. Everything. I swooned, I laughed, I cried, I was frustrated, and yes, I cheered. I just loved this book.
So if you're like me, and you enjoy small town romances featuring the siblings best friend trope, and the friends to lovers trope, then please, please, please read Forever After All. I think you might like it.
Thank you for reading my thoughts,

McKenna
I’ve always had a thing for my best friend’s older brother. In fact, I’ve been planning our wedding since elementary school. Then I grew up, moved away, and studying, and law school became my only focus.
Now that I’m back, the sexy cowboy is everywhere I turn. I shouldn’t mind so much as Rip Callahan is all levels of fine. My problem? His presence… his attention is sending me in a spin. And our reconnection? It’s fast and intense and everything I’ve ever dreamed of.
So why am I getting in my own way?

I didn’t know the first kiss I ever had would still play on my mind over ten years later. But with beauty and brains, McKenna Dawson is under my skin and very much off-limits.
Crushing on my sister’s best friend isn’t the worst part. That connection? I can’t ignore it. Should I fight it? Probably. Do I want to? Absolutely not.
A challenge among friends is all it takes for me to know she’s what I’ve been missing. That and one incredible trip with those same friends means there’s no going back. Not for me.
It was only supposed to be a weekend, but maybe we were meant to be forever after all.
