ARC Book Review - One String, by Aleatha Romig

Book Rating: 

Second-chance, enemies-to-lovers, fake-date, little-sister’s-best-friend, forbidden, stand-alone contemporary romance.

Marilyn grew up in a small farming community about 2 hrs outside of Indianapolis. Marilyn always knew she didn't want to stay in the small town, and wanted to move to Indianapolis after she was finished with college later in life. Growing up with best friends Jill & Devan, she always had a crush on Devan's older brother Ricky, who always saw them as kids. 

Richard (Ricky) Dunn has a little sister, Devan who Marilyn is best friends with. Ricky &  Marilyn & Devan are about 10 yrs apart in age. Ricky didn't know what he wanted to do in life until he was in his late 20's. He decided to move to Indianapolis and go to college and get his degree. He had his sights set on working for a firm in Indianapolis. However, Marilyn also works at the same firm. 

When Ricky passes several interviews and gets invited to a dinner by the firm, he reaches out to Marilyn to see if she would be able to give him some pointers and to go to the dinner with him as his plus one. 

Marilyn isn't sure if she should help Ricky, since he ghosted her all those years ago, but she wonders if she helps him will he finally 'see' her? Will things possibly work for them now that they are older? 

I did receive a free ARC copy of this book. I am freely leaving an honest review.
