Critics Review
The Friendship Fling is fun, feisty, and sexy - I really loved it! The characters have such brilliant chemistry, and it’s the perfect escapist novel to curl up with. I’m excited to see what Georgia Stone does next! * Emily Stone *
Charming from start to finish, The Friendship Fling is the perfect summer read. * Hannah Bonam-Young *
Feisty, undeniable chemistry; flirty banter; heart-wrenching emotion; a wild bucket-list adventure wrapped in razor-sharp wit - The Friendship Fling has it all, and getting lost in London with Ava and Finn is the most fun you’ll have in a book! The novel is an all-consuming delight that pulled me in completely with its sharp, vibrant world and even sharper-tongued characters. Georgia Stone is the next big thing in romance - mark my words! * Meg Jones *
The slow-burn rom-com of my dreams! … Put The Friendship Fling on your summer bucket list right now! * Annabelle Slator *
Summery sweet and the ultimate slow-burn celebration of love in London, with actual laugh-out-loud snark. Ava and Finn are my new favourite black cat/golden retriever pairing, and I couldn’t get enough of their chemistry * Lucy Jane Wood *
Tender, laugh out loud, sexy and achingly romantic. A grumpy heroine that you can’t help but root for from the very first page and the softest, glasses-wearing love interest. I’ll be dreaming of this book all summer long * Elliot Fletcher *
One of the best romcoms I’ve read in a long time … I’m in love with Ava and Finn, and the friendship trope worked brilliantly in this story … A refreshing twist on the grumpy sunshine trope too, making Ava the grumpy one and Finn the bubbly positive love interest * Stylist *
