No, We Can't Be Friends by Sophie Ranald

Sloane Cassidy and her husband, Myles are working through married life. They are renovating their home, while living in it, trying for a baby, pursuing successful careers, and trying to stay connected with each other. Sloane starts to feel distance from her husband and at first blames the stress of the renovation and trying for a baby. Then she begins to suspect Myles is cheating on her. Sloane starts digging and wonders what she will find. Can her marriage survive?

Sloane's life is incredibly relatable.  She wants to expand their family while at the same time have a successful career. She is the half owner of a business and her partner just had a baby. I loved the scenes Sloane spends with her business partner and how they show the real side of new motherhood. I also loved Sloanes's strength throughout the story. She has so many stressors in her life but she rolls with them and faces each challenge head on. It is refreshing to read a story about a woman like Sloane.

I loved the setting of the book. I am a huge fan of England and while some of the slang and wording was new to me, the context of the story helped explain it. While the setting was not a large part of the book, I loved the fact that it was set in England.

I received an advanced copy before the 10January2020 release date in exchange for my honest review. If you are looking for a light-hearted read with a story female lead, this book is for you. It is a quick and easy read as well. I read it in one day.
