Reviewing the recently released Not Just Friends by Jay Northcote

Not Just Friends by Jay Northcote 4*
BLURB: Is it worth risking a friendship for a chance at love?
Leaving home to go to university is an exciting phase in anyone’s life. One that’s full of new places, new friends, and new experiences. But Lewis isn’t prepared for the sudden and intense crush he develops on his out-and-proud flatmate, Max, because Lewis had always assumed he was straight.
Max starts dating another guy, and Lewis’s jealousy at seeing them together forces him to confront his growing attraction. When Max’s relationship goes awry, Lewis is the one to comfort him and one thing leads to another. After a night together, Lewis is devastated that Max wants to go back to being just friends.
Lewis tries his best to move on and their friendship survives, but the feelings he has for Max don’t go away. He faces other challenges as he deals with coming out to his parents, and needs Max’s support more than ever. But Lewis isn’t the only one who’s conflicted. When Max finally admits he cares for Lewis too, Lewis must decide whether he dares risk his heart again on being more than just friends.


My Review: I received a copy in exchange for an honest review. This story had all the hallmarks of a typical Jay Northcote book. Down-to-earth characters, low angst, hot sex and a sweet romance. What more needs to be said? Not a lot actually, as most of what you need to know is in the blurb and the rest you can find out by reading it your self. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys young love, first time sex, realisation of sexual orientation and student life in a British University. Even if you aren't a fan of all of these you should still go out and buy it now.
