About this listen
Gretchen Hendricks spent half her life in love with a man who ended up more dedicated to his job than to her. After a divorce that left her devastated, she put all her energies into building up her career as a psychologist. Now well into her 30s, she has achieved professional success and leads a model life. She has tried to let go of her girlhood dreams of a marriage and kids to complement her career. After being burned so thoroughly by the boy she'd given her young, girlish heart to, she is happier alone. Until one day she runs into her adolescent friend, Tony Lindstrom, and realizes the catastrophic circumstances that have ended his service in the United States Army.
It has been two years since the end of Tony's professional career and life as he knew it. But he has done nothing to accept what happened to him or even begun to learn how to live with it. He is holed up in his parents' house, without a job or prospects of any kind, and the thing is: He's just fine with that. He figures he's paid his dues to society more than the average person; doesn't he deserve to be left alone to deal with things how he wants? But then he runs into the one woman he always loved and could never have because she was always his best friend's girl.
Gretchen will not accept who Tony has become or that he has completely given up on living a worthwhile life. But Tony can't contemplate anything with Gretchen because to him, what good is a man who is incomplete on the outside but completely broken inside?
Please be warned that all my titles contain explicit profanity, sex, mature content matter, and often mild violence. Recommended for mature audiences only.

Story
General Travis Bains has two daughters, one who is good and one who is bad. Everyone knows Lindsey is the good one, and Jessie is the bad one. Jessie Bains is the other sister, the bad sister, which she has proven more often than not until the day she gets kidnapped and brutally raped. Will Hendricks, one of her father's soldiers, rescues her and brings her home but fears she may be nearly destroyed by what has been done to her. The most important thing, however, is that no one can know.

Trauma victims are not new to medical examiner Faith McIntyre, but this one is different. The unconscious woman clinging to life after a hit and run is FBI agent Macy Crow. What the woman from Quantico was doing in a dark alley after midnight is just one mystery. The other is more unsettling: Macy is Faith’s mirror image—the twin sister she never knew she had.

My only help comes from my brother’s best friend and world-renowned investigative reporter Spencer Cross. He has no idea how many nights I’ve spent dreaming of his name—and his body—next to mine. Each day we spend together, I find it harder to want my old life back.

Love and the right timing were two things I didn't believe in. Love is about walking to the edge of the cliff and taking the leap together. Timing was never on our side. My first mistake was hooking up with my best friend. My second came years later, when we met again, and I fell for her. My third was letting her go, because I had to. Because a love like this wasn't built to withstand the winds coming in our direction. Love and timing. I didn't believe in either. Then there was you....

However, one night in Vegas changed everything. I woke up to more than just a fantasy of my brother's best friend. Five years later, I'm standing on his doorstep confronting him about the secret he kept from me. If you think this is the story of how we rode off into the sunset together...You're so wrong.

Reid Jackson - I’m a simple guy. There are only two things I love: my family and playing professional football. I may not understand why people get married, but I’d go anywhere for my brother, even his friend Camille’s wedding. Once I’m there, I realize our Bronx upbringing has left me unprepared for the world of old Southern money. Over 24 hours, I see scandal, threats, and lies. It’s a life I don’t relate to, a place I never want to belong. Even so, when the minister asks if anyone objects, I shock not only myself but also the beautiful bride when I stand up.

Here we go again with another great story.
What did you love best about The Best Friend?
I loved the direction the story took. Most of the characters have been really put on the back burner for this story. It mainly focuses on Grethen and Tony. We are introduced to Helen and her grand daughter who play a huge role in this story.
What does Brittany Pressley bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She does a great job with the characters, tone, and the mood set for this book. The previous books she seemed really seductive. Now, we are getting more to a natural voice which makes the stories way more enjoyable.
Any additional comments?
This story shows the flip side of Gretchen. As a reader, I seen her as this very unbreakable person who helps people unconditionally. As the book progressed it almost seemed like she was keeping score. I feel like she became very selfish and kept reminding Tony that he was nothing before her. However, anyone in her position might be the same way.
Being the main person who helps him along the way then he amounts to way more then they expected. She becomes selfish and if someone said the things she did to me I would of put them in their place. I was very surprised on how Tony reacted. However, it did make a great ending.
Great story. I would say it is safe to say this book unlike the others really doesn't need any warning labels on the content. It's tasteful and well written. Glimpse of hot sex and language. Compared to the other books it is very mild.

Enjoyable listen
I really enjoyed this story. The characters were great and are dealing with big issues. Tony is a military vet that lost his arm and he has been dealing with the aftermath since, and not well. He has become a big jerk and shut himself off in the worst way. We see Gretchen again and watch her take on Tony and his surly behavior but it is different this time as there is more there for the first time. Neither know what to do with it. Tony because he doesn’t believe himself worthy and doesn’t trust that she finally sees him that way unless it’s out of pity. Gretchen because it is far fetched and knows that Tony needs help to move forward in his life and find a reason to actually live again. She also knows he doesn’t trust it. Gretchen is also watching a friend die of cancer, knowing that she will be taking her granddaughter to care for when it’s over. It’s not an easy situation and there are a lot of obstacles these two have to overcome in order to find their happy ending.
