I get so lost in Meghan Quinn's books, I start reading an poof 4 hours have passed by; there is something so refreshing about an author who laces her romances with humor so that the story doesn't get bogged down in the pain and anguish the characters go through. I love that she puts her characters through the paces and since she writes in duo first person, we know everything the characters are thinking and feeling throughout the book. My Best Friend's Ex is a complicated friends to lovers romantic comedy that was funny, sentimental, sweet, sexy, and impossible to put down. 
 Emma Marks is in her final semester as a nursing student and looking forward to graduation, a real job, and getting back to enjoying life, not that she hasn't enjoyed school or the great friends she's made in Logan and her roommate Adalyn. Being evicted through no fault of her own throws a big time monkey wrench in her life, but running into her best friend's ex, Tucker Jameson, has him offering her a place to stay. 
 A year ago Tucker Jameson's life was great; he was secure in his job, he had a girl he'd loved most of his life, and a baby on the way and even though the baby was a surprise, he was excited and ready to be a great dad. A miscarriage lost his the baby and the woman he loved and even though his ex has moved on, he can't seem to put everything behind him. Living a pretty solitary life, he surprises himself when he offers to let his ex's best friend move into the house he bought intending on it being for his family. As soon as he asks her he begins to think he's crazy, but the more time Emma is in his home, the more time he wants her there permanently, but Tucker's wounds run deep and figuring out is he's truly ready to move on may cost him his friend and the woman who brought light back into his life. 
 The sparks coming off these two were intense from early in this book and yet, it took a good, long time for them to act on their attraction. I loved the slow burn and watching them both unravel each other sometimes when they didn't even realize they were doing so. It was evident that Tucker was having a hard time dealing with the loss of the baby, his girlfriend leaving him and her moving on to another guy and I think it said a lot about Emma's character that she understood that and wanted to be his friend and bring some joy back into his life. A natural born caretaker, Emma feels bad that Tucker was pretty much abandoned by their core group of friends after their break-up, but thankful he had good friends he works with to help him through the worst of it. Knowing each other for so long the know a lot about one another, so it was fun watching them begin to realize they were seeing the other in a different light, a sexual one, and while it freaked them both out a little bit, there was also no denying the attraction between them. 
 Ms. Quinn has a knack for writing supporting characters that add so much life and flavor to a book, and in this story she gives us Racer and Tiny, two men who work with Tucker. While we don't see as much of Tiny he does intrigue me and Racer was not only great comic relief, but as it turns out has quite a romantic streak in him. I'm really hoping we see them both again in future books as well as Emma's friends Logan and Adalyn. 
 While as times messy and emotional, My Best Friend's Ex was laced with humor, intense sexy times, and a whole lot of heart and I loved every Little Debbie moment of it.
