"A Guide to Being Just Friends" by Sophie Sullivan makes friendship a surprising hurdle. For Hailey, the hardworking owner of Get By the Cup salad shop, and Wes, a son of a recent divorce who's tired of dating, friendship should be easy. After a contentious first meeting, Wes makes an apology to Hailey. He soon discovers that despite his mantra of staying away from relationships, there's something about Hailey he can't help but want more of. And for Hailey, Wes provides warmth, but he's also a distraction from working on her business. Staying just friends is more complicated than it looks.
