About this ebook

‘SIMPLY BRILLIANT… I finished the book at 3:40 am and I was so happy that I lost my hours of sleep over this book. One of my great midnight reads.’ Book Reviews by Shalini, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


He was perfect. Denim-blue eyes, a dazzling smile. And he hadn’t sent me a picture of his junk. Which is about as rare, these days, as a Dodo.


When Sloane met Myles, everything fell into place. He loved a Martini almost as much as she did, shared her passion for four-cheese pizzas, and made her laugh harder than any episode of Friends. She’d found The One at last and she could finally delete Tinder, forgetting all those waste-of-space men she’d never have to date again.


But then she finds out that Myles has a secret. A very big one.


The fairytale is over. Her heart is blown to smithereens. Drowning her sorrows in Ben & Jerry’s can only get Sloane so far before she has to decide… Can she learn to love herself more than she loved the love of her life? And what if, after everything, she’s got Myles – and his secret – all wrong?


No, We Can’t Be Friends is a brilliantly relatable, hilarious and feel-good novel that every woman with a waste-of-space ex HAS to read! If you’re a fan of romantic comedies by Sophie Kinsella and Lindsey Kelk, and TV shows like Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Jane the Virgin, pick up this laugh-out-loud book – you won’t regret it.

Sophie Ranald’s ‘No, We Can’t Be Friends’ is the perfect blend of wit, romance, and poignance. Sloane and Myles have been married for five years, and have settled into a sense of domesticity and trust. Or so Sloane thought. While in the process of trying to have a baby, Sloane discovers that Myles has a secret, and the life she thought she had ends up taking a U-turn. This novel tracks her journey of self-(re)discovery as she reclaims her life and leaves her old one behind. I love a strong, yet human, female protagonist, and Sloane fits this bill and then some. Her trajectory isn’t fluid, it’s messy, and you feel like you’re along for the entire ride. There was nothing about this novel that felt overwrought or stodgy; I was there for every minute of the narrative. And, without spoiling anything, let’s just say I found the last third of the book to be wholly satisfying and rewarding. This is a great read for anyone who loves a hint of romance packed into a whole lot of female empowerment. This is the first novel of Ranald’s that I’ve read, and it definitely won’t be my last. (I also wouldn’t be sad if this got made into a film. Just saying.) **A huge thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.**

This book was a great read, Sophie Ranalds writing flows so well, there is hard life subject matter but she delivers it with great comic relief. This is the story of Sloane and Myles, a young and successful married couple who are thinking of starting a family of their own but Sloane is about to be blindsided, and it is a story of how she deals with the changes her life is facing. I was really liking this read but once I hit the 75% mark I went from like to love. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more of Sophie’s work.

Sloane and Myles have decided to totally remodel their house and have brought Bianca in to do the interior design. Unfortunately, Bianca's designs tend towards the award-winning cutting-edge show home rather than the cosy family home that Sloane envisages. Every decision about the house becomes a stand-up row, and Sloane begins to suspect that Bianca and Myles may be more than just colleagues. In her mid-thirties has Sloane left it too late to start again? I enjoyed this.
