Talia Hibbert meets Carley Fortune in this swoon-worthy story of love and friendship in the age of social media – where what you see might not be all you get.

Dr Jojo has it all figured out. Or so it seems to her Instagram followers, who love her no-nonsense advice about men, self-love, dating and sex.

But behind the camera, it’s a different story – she’s in love with her best friend, Ezra, and he doesn’t feel the same way.

Committed to moving on, Jo soon finds the perfect distraction – sweet, shy and sexy writer Malcolm. As the pair begin to date, sparks fly, and Jo’s hard exterior begins to soften.

But when she discovers her feelings for Ezra aren’t as unrequited as she thought, Jo finds herself with a tough decision to make. Will she seize the opportunity for romance with her best friend, or is new love the path to her happily ever after?

Obuobi's second novel is a powerful exploration of finding yourself . . . a vulnerable, page-turning tale about trust, mental health, and second chances. Read this book - doctor's orders

Meaty, complex, and steamy. Obuobi takes it all on! Add Between Friends & Lovers to your TBR, this is an author to watch
Riss M. Neilson, author of A LOVE LIKE THE SUN
Shirlene Obuobi's sophomore novel is a beautifully written depiction of being vulnerable enough to love deeply and be loved that same way in return. Between Friends & Lovers is sexy and heartfelt, and I still think about Mal and Jo all the time

Sweet and steamy, perfectly written, overflowing with heart. . . . Basically, I'll recommend this book for eternity!
