**I voluntarily read an early copy of this title in exchange for an honest review**
My Bestie's Ex is the first book in The Rooftop Crew series, however if you've read Piper Rayne's White Collar Brothers series, some of the characters who make appearances in this one will be very familiar to you!
Blanca Mancini needs a change. She's been working as a bank teller, but that job is just not what she wants to do long term and quite frankly, she's just not happy. She ends up reconnecting with her best friend from childhood who encourages her to move to the small town where she lives and to move in with her. While it will be quite the change from NYC, she's game. She gets a job as a journalist at a small publication called Mars and Venus and she's looking forward to her new start.
Ethan has not had the easiest last year. He's not only dealing with having broken up with his girlfriend of over a year, he's also dealing with family stuff and working in a job where not many, if any, people really like him. He is using his job as a springboard to get to the type of publication he really wants to work for, but he knows he's got to bide his time. When a new co-worker shows up, he's not expecting the sparks that fly.
When Blanca and Ethan meet one another on a train back from the city, the chemistry is immediate. They enjoy spending time together and when they encounter one another in another location, the sparks are no less present. When they figure out that there is another tie between them, will it end up tanking the budding relationship before it really gets off the ground?
I really enjoyed both of these characters. Blanca is a strong woman, partially because of her three older brothers, and I loved that she was so independent. Ethan was fantastic and there was just something so great about him. I really enjoyed how this one unfolded and I'm looking forward to what we have coming with the next book in this series!

Is it wrong to date your Bestie's EX???
Piper and Rayne are writing goddesses. They have gifted us with a great group of friends and I cannot wait to get to know each of them better. This is Blanca and Ethan's story.Ethan and Blanca meet on the train on the way back to their quaint little town of Cliffton Heights from visiting their families in the New York City Area. The attraction is instant and you can feel it through the pages. I love when the chemistry is so strong they can't fight the pull and believe me there is quite a few things standing in their way, some they don't even know about at the beginning.As you can surmise from the title of the book Ethan is Blanca's friend Sierra's ex, but neither of them knew the other because Blanca and Sierra had lost touch for a few years but now they are roommates which is why Blanca is living in Cliffton Heights.This book, and I will guess this entire series based on the first book, is a bit heavier then the last few books Piper and Rayne have written. This doesn't have the lighthearted feel of the Bailey series but it's not something that will gut you either. It's deep, intense at times, but there is a lightness weaved into it so I didn't feel the need for tissues.If you enjoy the show FRIENDS, you are going to love this series because that is the feel you get right away when you meet everyone, especially with how they have apartments close to one another and the roommate situations. This was a great start to the series and I am really looking forward to getting to know each of The Rooftop Crew a little bit better.Happy Reading!!!
