Kate is helping her best friends Lucy and Jackson plan their wedding and is attempting to juggle a few romances of her own.

Everyone is questioning when it’ll finally be Kate’s turn to walk down the aisle, but she can’t even manage to hang on to a boyfriend! She does have several options, though. There’s Chris, the smooth, sexy photographer. And then there’s Max, the boy next door “friend with benefits…”

Kate can't help but wonder - is it possible to date one of your guy friends? How about two? At the same time? Which one of the guys will she choose?

What a cute chic lite read. I enjoyed Kate and all her friends. Fun story to read and enjoy great break from the business of the holiday. Of course after finishing this book I found that The One That Got Away was to be first book so I read it second. I really like this author and will be looking for more from Jessica.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for Light reading
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2013

The book was pleasant and easy to read. The plot was a little thin but at least it was a bit different to the usual romance. There were no major twists and turns that keep you guessing - just a cute story about a girl who enjoys the company of a group of male friends and finds that she cant distinguish between friendship and love. She sorts it out in the end but its a little predictable. Overall, not bad but no classic.

2.0 out of 5 stars Really juvenile and kind of stupid (warning SPOLIERS)
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2013
Verified Purchase
5% of the way through, and the main character has complained about not wanting to date one of her male friends - despite them having a friends with benefits arrangement and him wanting more - because she doesn't want to ruin the friendship. But then she turns around and starts thinking about trying to date another of her male friends - one who other friends say is really just a manwhore - because she thinks she can change him. Apparently she has stopped caring about losing any of these guys as friends. It makes no sense and the main character sounds like a complete idiot. Fast forward to neither of the situations working out and suddenly manwhore is seriously dating someone, so is hook-up dude, and our 'heroine' is all whiney and emo about her best girl friend getting married and being with her 'perfect man' blah blah. Continual references to how you just know when 'the one' comes along as well as ridiculous waffling about by the main character made this excruciating to read. I only finished it to see where it would go and to add more fuel to my review. Finally she ends up with a third close guy friend that there were previously zero sparks with much less any kind of attraction whatsoever and I can only end the book with the feeling that the author is trying to tell me that we all must settle just so we can be with someone. Yes, I realize that the heroine and the third guy were really good friends before, but there was NOTHING there but that. NOTHING. So to have them suddenly end up together felt rushed, contrived and just plain stupid. I also felt as though the author was telling all those idiots who blather on and on about being 'friend-zoned', that their one sided crushes really can turn into something if they just wait it out. Hogwash. People are either into you or they are not, and I got the overwhelming feeling that this 'heroine' was just dating the guy because he was there and she was desperate to be in a relationship. Did I mention that the main character was in her 30s? Yeah, this kind of behavior seems almost typical for jr. high and high school...even early 20s, but if you are still doing it at 31 maybe you need to pull your head out of your butt and grow up. So very glad this was free.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Potential, But Not Enough Romance
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2013
Verified Purchase
This is a great story if you're looking for a quick read, but it's really more of what's often referred to as "chick lit" than romance. Kate is, as the title suggests, just "one of the guys." She has a close-knit group of male friends who she gets together with for a weekly poker game. She's been sleeping with one of the guys in a strictly "friends with benefits" relationship; though he wants more, she's unwilling to go there. In the meantime, she does want to pursue one of the other guys for a relationship, but he's not interested in anything serious and she's ready to settle down.

At first, the book starts off pretty tediously. There is an actual play-by-play account of a few hands of poker. There are almost excruciatingly detailed conversations between Kate and her friends. And there's too much about her parents that would have balanced a full length novel but distract from this rather short novella. These don't really add to the story, except to its length, and I almost put this aside and stopped reading. But at some point, Kate decides that she's not going to desperately pursue her friend, and that's when the book gets more interesting.

Without spoiling the book, I will say that Kate finds romance in the end, but this book would have been so much better if we'd seen more of that and less of the details about her parents and the men who she didn't end up with. I'm willing enough, though, to give this author another shot in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Of The Guys
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 29, 2013

This is the second book I have read by Jessica Strassner and I loved it. I was hooked right from the very first chapter and I just could not put my kindle down.

Katie feels like she is just like the guys she hangs around with: Kevin, Max, Chris and Jackson. They all get together regularly and play poker. Kate does not have a boyfriend and her job is organising weddings so she does not hold out much hope for herself in the romance department. Her bestfriend Lucy is getting married to Jackson so Kate also has this to organise.

Kate however has been seeing Max as a friend with 'benefits'. Max soon starts dropping hints that he wants more but Kate does not want that more with him so she starts backing of from him and start see Chris. Kate soon has to start thinking is seeing friends really a good idea!

I love how this book has a really friendship bond going on. They all get on really well and even though they think no one knows what is going on they all do. Great read and highly recommend.

A really lovely light holiday read. A bit slow to start once into it was one of those books you couldn't put down. Kate was a character everyone could identify with at some point in their life but did not realise that she would end up with who she did until a good way I to the book. Would recommend this book.
