Hello and welcome to my stop on the 'The Good Ones Are Taken' by Taj McCoy book tour! This was one of my most anticipated reads of the year and I am so excited to have had the opportunity to participate in this tour.
Synopsis
"When Maggie's best friend admits he's in love with her, she'll have to decide whether it's worth giving up something good for something that could be amazing in this laugh-out-loud friends-to-lovers rom-com.
After a bad breakup, Maggie wants to find her Prince Charming, but all she's finding are frogs. When her best friends, Savvy and Joan, apply pressure and demand she find a date worthy of attending their respective weddings, she agrees to take her own advice and try online dating. Since she's the maid of honor for both weddings, her bridal party duties are massive, but both brides insist that Maggie prioritize finding a date. After an onslaught of maybes, noes, and hell noes, she's close to giving up, when she meets a handsome doctor at the gym who just might be the one.
Meanwhile, her college bestie, Garrett, throws salt in everyone's game. At every turn, he points out the red flags and tells Maggie to keep looking. Things come to a head when Maggie demands that Garrett be happy for her, and he finally admits that he can't. Not when he's not with her. When he blurts out his feelings, Maggie's world is turned upside down. Now she must choose between the perfect guy and a friendship that is the foundation for everything she's ever wanted."
My Review
The Good Ones are Taken is the latest offering from author Taj McCoy. This novel introduces us to Maggie. Maggie is on the heels of a bad breakup and is beginning to lose hope on ever finding her happily ever after. Her friends talk her into joining a dating app and so begins the search for Mr. Right.
This story was cute, flirty, and fun. There were definitely some laugh out loud moments. I knew who I was rooting for very early on. Maggie was definitely feeling the pressure of being the only single friend in her friend group. And speaking of her friend group, I loved the sisterhood that they shared. They were rooting for Maggie all the way, even though there were more than a few instances of Maggie comparing herself to where they were in life. I would have loved more scenes between Maggie and Mr. Right to help build on their chemistry but overall, I enjoyed this romcom and found it relatable as well as realistic.
The Good Ones Are Taken by Taj McCoy has a publication date of April 23, 2024.
