"[An] exceptionally entertaining, superbly sexy love story that also freely embraces other important things in life, like friendship, family, and food." —Booklist
When Maggie's best friend admits he's in love with her, she'll have to decide whether it's worth giving up something good for something that could be amazing in this laugh-out-loud friends-to-lovers rom-com.
After a bad breakup, Maggie wants to find her Prince Charming, but all she's finding are frogs. When her best friends, Savvy and Joan, apply pressure and demand she find a date worthy of attending their respective weddings, she agrees to take her own advice and try online dating. Since she's the maid of honor for both weddings, her bridal party duties are massive, but both brides insist that Maggie prioritize finding a date. After an onslaught of maybes, noes and hell noes, she's close to giving up, when she meets a handsome doctor at the gym who just might be the one.
Meanwhile, her college bestie, Garrett, throws salt in everyone's game. At every turn, he points out the red flags and tells Maggie to keep looking. Things come to a head when Maggie demands that Garrett be happy for her, and he finally admits that he can't. Not when he's not with her. When he blurts out his feelings, Maggie's world is turned upside down. Now she must choose between the perfect guy and a friendship that is the foundation for everything she's ever wanted.

      A lopsided love triangle animates this disappointing rom-com from McCoy (Zora Books Her Happily Ever After). Months after a bad breakup, curvy tax attorney Maggie Felize Jones makes a dating profile hoping to find her “prince charming”—but all she turns up are proverbial frogs. Thankfully, she has support from Garrett, who, after 20 years of friendship, knows her better than anyone and agrees to be both a sounding board and a protector through the online dating process. The chemistry between Maggie and Garrett is obvious to everyone, making it clear from the get-go who her endgame romance will be, even though Maggie is in denial. Then she meets heart surgeon Blake at the gym, and thinks she may have found love the analog way. But Maggie’s a foodie (indeed, much of the novel is focused on her exploration of different cuisines) and health-conscious Blake frets over her eating, striking a blow to her confidence. When, inevitably, Garrett professes his love, Maggie’s world spins out of control. She must decide between new romance with Blake or taking a chance on Garrett without hurting either man. The result is a sweet yet predictable friends-to-lovers romance that doesn’t reach the same heights as McCoy’s previous offerings. This is for diehard fans only. Agent: Jamiscoe Chambers-Black, Andrea Brown Literary.
