Back to You: A Sweet, Friends-to-Lovers, Military Romance (San Diego Marines Book 1) by Jess Mastorakos

Biggest mistake I’ve ever made? Kissing my best friend. I’ve never been a relationship guy. Sure, I have Ellie—my best friend since middle school who’s been by my side through the good and the very bad—but with girls who aren’t Ellie? One date is enough. Then when I get back from boot camp, one kiss changes everything. But also, nothing’s changed. Ellie still wants to settle down with a picket fence and kids, and she knows I don’t. And now there’s heat when she looks at me in my new uniform. It makes me wonder if I didn’t want that kind of life, or if I didn’t want it with anyone but her. But I’ve made one mistake after another with Ellie, so now I have to convince her that it’s okay to want me too. Why you'll love it: ❤️ We're just friends ❤️ It's always been you ❤️ Forehead kisses ❤️ Found family ❤️ Small-Town Vibes Back to You is a closed-door, standalone romance told from both POVs in the first person.
