Synopsis
In the small town of Fallen Brook, love was supposed to be simple. Until she fell for her two best friends.
They say every love story has a beginning. If that’s the case, then mine started when I was nine years old. Jayson, Ryder, and I grew up together. We were inseparable, bound by a friendship that felt unbreakable. They were my family, my constants—my forevers.
As we grew older, our feelings deepened into something more. What was once simple became tangled with emotions we couldn’t ignore, and somewhere along the way, our friendships became…complicated.
Falling in love with your best friend is hard enough. Falling in love with two of them? It has disaster written all over it.
One man will hold my heart. But the other will never let me go.
This newly revised version of book one in the Fallen Brook series is a small-town, friends-to-lovers, new adult romance full of angst and emotion. It has new content, is told in multiple POVs, and ends with a shocking cliffhanger. Please check for potential TWs in the front matter of the book.
“…pages filled with betrayal, lies of omission, and secrets, All Our Next Times makes for some very compulsive reading.” —LL Meyer, author of the Worlds Collide series.

My Review
It's been a hot minute since I've read anything by this author, so when I saw this popping up on my newsfeed off to Amazon I went, jumped in that very night and couldn't put it down, one more chapter before I put my ipad down resulted in finishing it.
I loved how this started off wringing all those giddy feels out of me as nine year old Elizabeth was excited to meet the two twin boys (Jayson & Julien) as they moved into the house right next door to hers, donning on her princess dress and tiara off she went to play with her two princes.
'...πΉπππππ πππππππ πππ πππππ ππππππ, πΉππππ πππ πππππππ π ππ£πππ, πππ πΈ-πππππππππ’-ππ πππ ππππππππ, πππππππ ππππ ππππ ππππππ πππππππ π ππππππππ ππππππ.'But it doesn't take long to add another boy to the mix (Third grade) when a new boy starts school and Elizabeth takes him under her wing, his name is Ryder. His dad recently opened up an auto shop in town and that's why they moved to Fallen Brook.
It doesn't take long for the twins to bond with the new boy as they welcomed him into their tight knit little group.
As we move up through the grades and years feelings start developing between the boys and Elizabeth, especially with Jayson and Ryder.
Jayson got to Elizabeth first declaring that he loved her, it was almost in some ways to stop Ryder in his tracks who also wanted to tell Elizabeth that he'd fallen in love with her. But he was too late.'... πΉπππππ, πππ πππππ πππππ πππ ππππ ππππππ. π±ππ ππ’ ππππππππ πππ πππ πππ'π ππ πππππππ ππππ ππππππππ ππππππππππ.ππππ πππππ'π πΉππ’πππ. π·π πππππ ππ’ πππππ πππππ. πΈ ππππ ππππ πππ πππππ-ππππ’ ππ’ππ πππ πππππ’ ππππ ππ ππ’ πππππππ. ππ’πππ ππ ππ’ πππππ-ππ’ππ πππππππππ, πππ ππππππ ππ ππ’ πππππ.'
There is a lot to unpack when it comes to our characters.
Jayson - I was team Jayson for a while, but now and then he'd show a different side to himself, (drinking and jealousy getting the best of him) which I didn't really like pushing me more towards Ryder. He smashes it at swimming.
Ryder - This boy slowly wormed himself into my heart, the knight in the background who stood steadfast and strong whilst he saw his best friend and the girl he loved get it on. Wants to run his fathers autho shop when he graduates, also smashes it at drift racing.
Julien - At a young age knew there was something different about himself, he wasn't just attracted to girls (one girl particular being Elizabeth) but he liked boys too, one boy he grew especially close to in this book was Elijah. Soccer player who will go far.
Elizabeth - A bit of a hot mess when it came to her guys, she loved Jayson but she also loved Ryder, and she even questions if Ryder had've confessed his feelings before Jayson would she have chosen him.
Hailey - Elizabeth's sister, these two were really close which you could witness throughout the book, then Hailey started changing, being secretive and Elizabeth had noticed bruises and what looked like burns on her body, a close friend said she'd been spotted with an older guy.
Fallon - This guy was kind of in the background but always there a friend of Ryders, he threw wild drunken parties, was kind of a bad boy who if he threw money at a problem or dished out a warning to someone that problem would disappear.
Throw in some angst, some emotional ups and downs, and all the firsts between Jayson and Elizabeth and as you get wrapped up in all the feels you reach that cliffy involving her family (parents and sister Hailey) I'd prepared myself for a cliffy. Just not how this one went down, this changes everything. Now I'm even more excited to read the next book in this series.
