Fans of small Midwestern towns, best-friend romances, and country music will fall in love for the first time all over again. If love is the meaning of life: small town, country girl Regan wants nothing to do with it. Instead, she would rather take advanced placement classes and stick to the rules her group of high school friends live by, the most important of which being, “no dating within the group." But when Regan’s best friend Lane kisses her, she finds herself torn between angsty passion and her big dreams of leaving her small town behind. Sweet, country boy Lane, on the other hand, has been trying to break out of the best friend zone all summer. But with time running out before he leaves for college, he’ll have to navigate the ensuing drama from friends and family if there’s any hope of convincing Regan to forego her rules and give the two of them the chance he knows they deserve. More Than His Best Friend is the first book in a passionate and heartwarming young adult romance saga about first loves, close friends, small towns, and big dreams. Fans of friends-to-lovers romances will swoon for Regan and Lane to get together, but just like in real life: happiness can be elusive if you aren’t willing to take a risk. 5 Friends. 3 Rules. 1 kiss that changes everything.
