Forgetting Him: A Friends-to-Lovers Love Story

She thinks he's afraid to love her. The truth is far worse: he loves her enough to let her go.

Highly Recommended...so refreshing to see people work through their issues and come out on the other side. — BookRiot

They were friends—just friends. Now they're something else entirely...

Jason

Maggie was my best friend's girl. When he died...I wasn't sure we'd get through it.

But we healed. Together. Maggie became my friend, my confidant, my family. She's everything to me.

And I ruined it all last night.

One drunken night. That's all it took. Now I'm lost.

I want her with everything I am, everything I have, but she can't be mine. She deserves someone with better odds than I can promise her.

Now, if I can't figure out how to go back to the way things were, I'll lose the most important relationship I have. The only one that truly matters.

Maggie

Last night, we shared tequila. I found myself hoping, like I always do.

I'd replay last night a thousand times if I could. It's the morning after that needs erasing.

He loves me...just not the way I love him. He's made that abundantly clear. And that's okay. Some part of me knows Jason will always see me as his best friend's girl.

I can't lose our friendship. If he wants to stay in the friend zone, I need to accept that. Move on. Rationally, I know this.

But convincing my heart...well, that's another story entirely.
