Queen B’s Decree: Relationship Goals had big Ted Lasso vibes, Luke being the aloof and grunty Roy Kent-ish soccer player.
Abigail and Luke have a bit of an anti-meet cute, but they are so cute together (despite the fact that Luke was forced into asking her out initially). Once Abigail learns that them dating wasn’t real, she goes all in on trying to get Luke to break up with her, with crazy and crazier antics that literally made me laugh out loud.
But the best part is Luke is so smitten for her, he accepts all her weird and ridiculousness and it doesn’t even phase him.
The dreaded miscommunication trope is very present here, and so much heartbreak could have been avoided had Luke and Abigail just T.A.L.K.E.D but Relationship Goals was still a fun and enjoyable read. I appreciated the realness of ill family members, the behind the scenes reality of being a celebrity, and ADHD and panic attack representation.
Will definitely look out for more from Brittany Kelley.
