Reviews

"What a beautiful, emotionally generous, goodhearted book! Between Friends & Lovers was an absolute joy to read, with messy, realistic, and deeply lovable characters fumbling their ways through life, making mistakes, and doing the best they can to clean them up. Obuobi's perfect balance of humor and wisdom made this one a true standout."
-- Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"I adored On Rotation, so I had high expectations going into this book, but with Between Friends & Lovers, Shirlene Obuobi gave me a once-in-a-lifetime reading experience. It's sweet and steamy, perfectly written, overflowing with heart, and it became an instant favorite....Basically: I'll recommend this book for eternity!" -- Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author

"This book is spectacular! It is deft and voicy, sexy and emotionally brilliant. I am honestly obsessed with Shirlene Obuobi's Between Friends & Lovers and cannot wait to shout about it to every reader I encounter."
-- Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author

"Meaty, complex, and steamy. Obuobi takes it all on! Add Between Friends & Lovers to your TBR, this is an author to watch."
-- Abby Jimenez, New York Times bestselling author

"Obuobi's emotionally insightful novel explores the tension between friendship and love." -- Washington Post

"Shirlene Obuobi's sophomore novel is a beautifully written depiction of being vulnerable enough to love deeply and be loved that same way in return. Between Friends & Lovers is sexy and heartfelt, and I still think about Mal and Jo all the time."
-- Riss M. Neilson, author of A Love Like the Sun

"If you delight in complex, charming love stories, this one's for you." -- Marie Claire

"Obuobi tackles the reality of being a medical professional, racial microaggressions, and the meaning of family. Between Friends & Lovers is at times heartwrenching, but, in the end, it is absolutely charming." -- Booklist (starred review)

"Obuobi's second novel is a powerful exploration of finding yourself. . . a vulnerable, page-turning tale about trust, mental health, and second chances. Read this book--doctor's orders." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"As a fan of Grey's Anatomy (and Chicago Med!), I couldn't put down On Rotation, and you won't be able to, either. Shirlene Obuobi makes you feel as if you're actually right there with the lovable Angie, and I personally couldn't get enough." -- Meg Cabot
