Plain Jayne

Plain Jayne - Laura Drewry
An arc was provided by Random House Publishing Group - Loveswept via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review

In my opinion this is the best friends to lovers book I've read in a long time!

What I LOVED about this book:

The AMAZING quotes at the beginning of each chapter from my favorite 80's movies: "Breakfast Club", "Sixteen Candles", ""Ferris Bueller's Day Off", "Home Alone 2", "Pretty in Pink", and "Some Kind of Wonderful".

The writing, story, and characters.

The author had me engaged right from the beginning and on the edge of my seat right till the very end wondering whether or not the H/h (Nick and Jayne) were ever going to see what was right in front of them. That they were in love with one another and meant to be together.


I loved the history between Nick and Jayne. They have been 'best friends' since they were in kindergarten. Through good times and bad, they always had each others backs.

Since the first day Nick met Jayne, Nick has looked after her. He was the only one she trusted with her secrets and her heart. He's the only one who ever showed genuine affection towards her whether it be a hug, a touch, or even holding hands (you'll have to read the book to understand why).

Jayne says in the book, "she's been in love with Nick since the second week of kindergarten", and that she'll take him any way she can get him, even if that means he thinks of her as a 'sister'.

It was an amazing experience reading how Nick and Jayne's relationship manifested from best friends to being "stupid-ass-can't-see-straight-in-love with each other".

At the end of the story I was exhausted, and extremely satisfied.

I highly recommend this book, and can't wait to read more from this author!
