Brian Carr believes in fairy tales — princes, castles, once upon a times, happily ever afters. He's been that way since we were kids, and no matter how many times it all goes wrong, Brian's never given up hope of finding his one true love.

It's beautiful. Adorable. Charming.

It's also annoying as hell, because I've spent decades standing on the sidelines while guy after guy crushed my best friend's heart, leaving me to pick up his pieces.

The truth is, for as long as Brian has dreamed of fairy tales...I have dreamed of Brian. But if he's waiting for some guy on a white horse to wander into O'Leary, there's no way he's gonna notice the man who's been by his side all along.

This is a delightful story of best friends who finally get together. Dare knows how he feels but Brian realizes his feeling just in time. Another O’Leary match-up. I listen to audio which was very sell done.

This was so sweet! It was a perfect mix of two of my favorite tropes- childhood friends and friends to lovers.
Brian is a cutie and I'm so happy he got his happily ever after with Dare. It may have taken them decades to get to this point, but they finally got there!

Narration was fine- you kind of know what you're getting with Michael Dean, and in a way that's kind of comforting.

Friends to lovers.
