Acerca de esta escucha
“Like the island sunshine and the samba dancing on the beach and the sweet rum punch, I enjoyed every moment of this delightful book.”—Judy Leigh, USA Today bestselling author
“A heart-warming, gorgeous novel … A perfect curl-up-in bed read.”—Lizzie Damilola Blackburn, author of Yinka, Where is Your Huzband?
“The happy ending that we all love in a romance novel.”—Vasundra Tailor, author of The Secret of Elephants
She’s travelled halfway round the world to paradise. But has it been on her doorstep all along?
When Ruby Lamont’s young son Jake starts telling tall tales about the dad who walked out on them six years ago, it’s time to find out the truth. It’s not that she wants Kenny back in her life—her charming commitment-phobe Griffin, has always been more of a father-figure to Jake—but if she can understand why Kenny broke her heart, perhaps she can finally move on.
Their journey takes them to heart-shaped Sorrel Island, a Caribbean paradise that according to legend was created as an enchanted refuge for lovers. For no-nonsense Ruby, romance is the last thing on her mind. Spoiling for a fight, she confronts her runaway ex, but he’s a changed man, or so he claims. With Kenny seemingly having turned a new leaf, Griffin shows up out of the blue and the tropical heat builds to an inferno.
With sparks of lust and jealousy flying in all directions, Ruby has to wonder whether the magic of Sorrel Island is more than just a legend. As the truth of Kenny’s departure—and Griffin’s arrival—spills out, Ruby must discover whether people really can change—or if she is just destined for heartbreak.

Sharp-tongued (and secretly soft-hearted) Kiki Banjo has just made a huge mistake. As an expert in relationship-evasion and the host of the popular student radio show Brown Sugar, she’s made it her mission to make sure the women of the African-Caribbean Society at Whitewell University do not fall into the mess of “situationships”, players, and heartbreak. But when the Queen of the Unbothered kisses Malakai Korede, the guy she just publicly denounced as “The Wastemen of Whitewell,” in front of every Blackwellian on campus, she finds her show on the brink.

Shy, bookish, and admittedly awkward, Lily Greene has always felt inadequate compared to the rest of her accomplished family, who strive for Black excellence. She dreams of becoming a children’s books editor, but she’s been frustratingly stuck in the nonfiction division for years without a promotion in sight. Lily finds escapism in her correspondences with her favorite fantasy author, and what begins as two lonely people connecting over email turns into a tentative friendship and possibly something else Lily won’t let herself entertain—until he ghosts her without a word.

Reseñas de la Crítica
“Narrator Ione Butler perfectly captures the tension in Ruby as she struggles to reconcile the past with the present, all the while enjoying life in paradise. Butler entertains with her ability to capture many different accents, and her lively characterizations strike the right note. Williams's (The Second Time We Met) latest romance is perfect for listeners who enjoy love triangles, miscommunications, and character growth. [T]his summer read satisfies.”—Library Journal
“I adore Frances’s books. Strictly Friends is the perfect romance: it has three fascinating hunky love interests and a setting that will make you want to run out and buy a plane ticket for the Caribbean. But it’s more than all that. Ruby is the perfect heroine of our time, feisty, successful, fun, stunning in heels, and yet vulnerable, lacking true self-belief. She is a wonderful, loyal mother to the cutest boy; she is the friend you want to spend time with. Yet in her quiet moments, she represents us all, questioning, unsure, rushing forward into uncertainty. Like the island sunshine and the samba dancing on the beach and the sweet rum punch, I enjoyed every moment of this delightful book.”—Judy Leigh, USA Today bestselling author
“I enjoyed Strictly Friends very much. It’s an easy read that takes you to a beautiful island in the Caribbean Sea. The protagonist is likeable and vulnerable, and this sweet story has the happy ending that we all love in a romance novel.”—Vasundra Tailor, author of The Secret of Elephants

I read it because of the reviews
And I’m glad I read this. First, childhood bullying can affect you into adulthood. This story tapped into that trama and addressed it effortlessly. I read the reviews knowing that it’s more than the title or the cover and couldn’t put this book down.

Decent read
This book was a decent read, although I put it down for a few months. It was easy to pick up where I left off. It was predictable but a decent read.

From friendship to true love
Ruby and her bestie Griffin have been tiptoeing around each other since they were kids. Everyone could see that they loved each other, even as they each had relationships. When she goes to the Caribbean so her son Jake can meet his errant father, Griffin has to ensure she will come back to him. Secrets of the past come back to haunt him, Kenny's departure not the mystery Ruby thought. Betrayal cuts deep and harsh words are thrown from both sides. Their journey back to each other is a slow process, but she finally sees sense under the guidance of trusted friends and her beloved Aunt Pearl. A great listen!
