No, We Can't Be Friends: A totally perfect romantic comedy

Product Information

Join a social media group. If you're not the type of person who likes joining clubs or meeting people in person, there are always Facebook groups. Social media is a good way to get in touch with new people and make lasting connections. If you are too shy to talk to people in person, then finding them online first is an excellent way to start. Everything else in the story was pretty much just fillers to help add to it. Nothing really moved me or made me love any other characters. I did like her business partner though. She was pretty funny. And the romance towards the end was kind of lame to be honest. I liked that she took time for herself and I appreciate the ending, but it was rushed and that relationship never really got developed. I don't know whether to put it in the category of contemporary women's fiction, humour, or romance. It's a life story, honest, relatable, entertaining, and hard to put down.

Sophie Ranald's writing is conversational and relatable - like a perceptive friend with the gift of the gab. It's fast-paced, straight up and engaging. There's humour, but more sharp, snappy quips than belly laughs. You don't know where to look. You might not have many opportunities to meet people in person because of your job or lifestyle and don't know where else to look.

Made me scream with laughter… There are no words to adequately describe how much I adored this book… I read the entire story in one sitting.’ The Bespectacled Bibliophile, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The book focuses mainly on Sloane, her challenges and her survival. It also counters the negative, with uplifting scenes of self-empowerment - resilience, resourcefulness, friendship and finding yourself again. I have to hand it to Sophie Ranald... Hats off to her. Honestly I can't praise this book enough.' Goodreads Reviewer, Had me laughing out loud! What a refreshing read… Excellent... If you need a feel-good, funny, witty read, this should be it! ’ A Book with Review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Don't come on too strong if you want to make new friends. You might find yourself smothering someone, getting too attached, or even pushing them away with your overbearing neediness.

I was fond of the writing style but I cannot help feeling the overall story didn't fill in my measures.

Had me laughing out loud!What a refreshing read… Excellent… If you need a feel-good, funny, witty read, this should be it!’ A Book with Review,⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sloane and Myles have been married for five years. They are renovating their dream home and Sloane is running a coffee shop and their life is finally settled. They are ready to have a baby. But Sloane suddenly realizes that her wonderful husband is truly not as wonderful as she thinks he is. She found out that he is cheating on her. All of this to say that it taught me something, this experience. I don't see myself as something who hardly judges and yet that was exactly what I did here, only because I felt somehow displeased and didn't even left out space to consider other ways to look at things. This book follows Sloane as her marriage falls apart. We hear about Sloane's life before her marriage which sounds super fun but I imagine after a while it was also quite draining. When Sophie finds Myles she thinks she has found her happily ever after. Sadly life doesn't turn out the way she expected. Sloane was at times infuriating but it's always easier to see things from the outside. I really liked Sloane and as the book progressed I was more and more proud of her.

There were some parts of this book where I laughed out loud. There was a scene in particular where Sloane tried out different exercises and her reaction to trying out Zumba made me scream with laughter. The majority of women in this modern world have experienced that ex. Women reading this would know exactly who I am speaking about. The ex who hurt you so deeply and yet is convinced that you two should remain friends. The ex who somehow seems to make the breakup your fault This book is mostly about personal growth and how to be strong as a woman. It is a woman fiction so if you are looking for a romcom this is not a book for you. I would definitely recommend this book. This is a companion book to Sorry, Not Sorry (which I wasn't a huge fan of) but you don't need to read that to read this and I really enjoyed No, We Can't Be Friends. The story is about Sloane who is always "The Single One" in all functions who one day meets Myles who is apparently "perfect" & she falls in love but Myles idea of happily ever after is Sloane doing all the work for him from his laundry, sending birthday cards to his family & to ironing his underpants as well. But all her dreams are over when she comes to know that Myles is cheating.Sloane was married to Myles. She not only looked after her home but also was a partner in her company. One day she saw something which got her wife-y antennae go all tingly. And secrets were revealed. Then came her realizations and decisions. All in all, this book was not only a fun read. It was empowering and a story about a woman who fell down and was able to rise up even higher than before. There are no words to adequately describe how much I adored this book. Meet people at work. Some of your coworkers might also be seeking friendships, and you already have some common ground. See if any would be willing to meet up outside of work.

Take a class. This is another good way to meet new people. You can ask someone for help or just strike up a conversation with them. Personally, I would NOT call this a romantic comedy. There's minimal comedy and only a little romance. It's more the story of a relationship slowly crumbling. The secondary characters needed more development. We get a last minute shot of this is why Bianca is not all that she seems that I didn't like because it doesn't explain why this character keeps doing terrible ass things. I also think we should have had more time with Myles and Sloane when they were happy.

Your interests don't match up with your coworkers or neighbors. Maybe you prefer tea and visiting coffee shops over beer and watching football games. I just adored this book!... A very relatable story as any of us who have gone through a long-term relationship breakup or a divorce will vouch for, but also very uplifting and heart-warming .’ Reading Tonic , ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ When Sloane met Myles, everything fell into place. He loved a Martini almost as much as she did, shared her passion for four-cheese pizzas, and made her laugh harder than any episode of Friends. She’d found The One at last and she could finally delete Tinder, forgetting all those waste-of-space men she’d never have to date again. Sloane is a fantastic character, a girl I would love to have as a friend in real life. She is kind and strong, sensible and realistic. She doesn't complain or wallow (maybe just a bit, but then we all need somebody to make us a strong cup of tea at the right moment and take care of us just for a day to let us get on our feet). She genuinely wants to re-build her life and understands that it will take time.
