A book about friendship. Count me in. A book with diverse leading ladies. Heck yes. Who knows you better than your friends? I'd trust my friends to set me up. And the way osho set the friends together and their pov. It was so nice to see. A stellar debut for. This author.

I thought this one was so-so. It was over the top with how they set each other up on dates, but I did like the main 3 friend's friendship together. I think it's a really good debut novel that could have used some extra edits and I'd be interested to read more by this author!

👎🏾. AIt just wasn’t my kind of book. It was all over the place sbd I couldn’t keep up so I just lost interest.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book! The title and this beautiful cover drew me in and i was excited to read this book! I will be recommending this book to others for readers advisory.

This was a lighthearted, easy read that gave rom-com vibes. It was great to see a friendship group with women in different stages in their lives. While I didn't particularly enjoy any of the main characters, it was interesting to see how they interacted with each other and also it was nice to see the revelations and growth of each of the women. Reading about the general ups and downs of each of the friends love lives was also quite relatable and entertaining. I would definitely read more by Andi Osho because of the ease of readability and entertaining plot. I mean who doesn't love a rom-com?

I loved the multicultural representation in this one however it wasn't my favorite. I still loved the banter and the relationship between the main characters but it left me wanting more.

Asking for a Friend was an enjoyable read. I liked the premise of the story being about three women who are all at different stages in their lives and single at the same time. I liked getting to see the different women's point of view and learning more about their situations and how they got there. I also enjoyed that they decided to take their issues with dating in their own hands and try to get guys for each other, Because who knows you better than your best friends. Overall very uplifting to see friendship shown in this light. Cannot wait to see what the author writes next.

Three women are looking for love after abysmal dating lives- what ensues is the hilarity of dating, meeting various men, and the situations they find themselves in.

It bounces around between the three women’s POVs and it was done so well! All three women - Jemima, Meagan, and Simi represent such a wide variety of women and I feel like readers will be able to connect with them.

I was given a copy of this story to read; but thoughts and opinions are all my own. Thank you to Netgalley and Harper 360 for the chance to read this book!

‘Asking for a Friend’ by Andi Osho was emotional and sweet, just so heartfelt once it gets going. Loved all the characters. Would make the perfect beach read. Definitely recommend!

This was a fun read and a good and funny debut novel. I enjoyed the diversity of the three women and loved all of the characters.

this book was so sweet! i really enjoyed getting to read this one early!! it was so much fun and exciting and full of surprises! please check this one out soon!!!!

Such a cute multi perspective romance/friendship book! I didn't read much about it going in so I thought I was going to get your run if the mill just one couple and their third act breakup, but this book gives way more! I absolutely loved all of the ladies voices and their friendship together. It's definitely not a super romance book, but that's what made it good to me, it wasn't just the same as everything else. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

Unfortunately, this book was not for me. I struggled with the story and the characters. There didn't feel like enough romance to be a romance and I'm having a difficult time putting my thoughts into a fair review.

After reading the synopsis I was so excited to read this, but it was one of the books on my TBR list that I struggled to get into. Maybe it's the reading slump I fell into during the holidays. This book also lacked that "romance" factor I was expecting and it fell short for me.

📖Summary: Three friends each have trouble with their dating lives. Jemima: an ex who doesn’t know how to stay away. Meagan: a friends-with-benefits partner who wants more. Simi: rejection after rejection because they want different things in life. So they concoct a Dating Game: they will each choose a date for their friend, not for themselves. This way, they won’t make the same mistakes of choosing the same men over and over again. But what happens when their game goes a little too far and betrayal enters the friend group?

✨Rating & Review✨: ⭐️⭐️
I received this ebook from Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion and review. Y’all this book might have actually pained me. I had such high hopes from the description, but the more I read, the angrier I got. The friendship these women share is actually painful to read and makes me more and more thankful for the friends I do have. The way they treat each other is terrible, between the gaslighting, the lies, the deceit, and the rudeness, it was just too much. I won’t go on and on about what I didn’t like, but this book was not for me.

This is the story of 3 friends who are at different cross roads in their lives and having difficulties with relationships. They decide to help each other by selecting dates for the others. While the premise was cute, it felt very immature and unbelievable for women at the ages they were supposed to be. I enjoyed the humor in the books and the growth of the characters.

Thank you NetGalley and Harper360 for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

I was not expecting to not finish the book. I really, really wanted to love this. The writing was not suitable for my tastes. I unfortunately did not finish this book, only read 24% before stopping.

Thank you NetGalley and publishers for the ARC in exchange for a honest review.

This is the story of three friends, Jemima, Megan and Simi as they move through life relying on each other, trying to figure out their lives and focusing on their careers and being their for each other during the best and worst of times. They soon realize that no one knows you better than you bestfriend, so who better to pick a date for you, which they do after setting guidelines.

This book gave a lot of description, which made picturing the characters in the different scenarios very easy. This story has pieces of romance, but the primary focus is on the friendship of the ladies.

This book wasn't really my cup of tea. I am glad I read it, but it isn't one that I would buy for myself. I felt at times that the characters were a bit too catty for my liking. Even though this was not a book for me, I would recommend it to people who like reality TV.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper 360, HQ for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

It took me a little while to get into this book, but when I did, I could see that the themes were very relatable and the challenges faced by these women come from a painful past. Jemima, Megan, and Simil have 10 years of friendship under their belt, but we soon find out that they don’t know each other as well as they thought they did. They also don’t know theirselves as they thought they did. These women have a great deal of difficulty with finding love that is right for them. They seem to be pushing away obviously positive choices for reckless ones. The novel picks up and we see the story barreling towards its ultimate conclusion. I don’t want to spoil it too much, but the ending settles where it should be. This book is about three women on a journey of self discovery: personal and professional. Their friendships are tested and their careers are on the line, but these women finally discover the deeper truths that make them who they are. My only criticism is the fact that these women seem to lack an epic level of self-awareness at various points in the book. To be fair, those might just be the most realistic parts of the book.

I so wanted to love this book. Based on the synopsis I could not wait to read it. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t feel that pop and sizzle of chemistry that I need in romance. It was a somewhat fun read but missed the mark for me. As such I will not be sharing a review outside of NetGalley.
