My Review:

I didn't realize that the Bailey Brothers was a spin-off to The Insta Series by Jen Atkinson. I plan to go back and read them as it gives the background to Coco and the Bailey Brothers. However, Owen Bailey Needs Advice and the rest of the Another Bailey Brother series should be read in order.

I loved Owen, he is sweet with a heart of gold. While I eventually came around to Annie, I didn't feel like she was good enough for him. I didn't understand why she let one comment from a guy dictate her entire life. It seems out of character for her since she seems to be a fighter in every other way. 

Read for:

📨best friends to more

📨Advice columnist

📨7th grade Science teacher + his students

📨he falls first

📨Alice

📨chocolate pie

📨Grammy

📨the Bailey family bond

📨witty banter

📨plenty of LOL moments

I could go on but I don't want to give too much away, plus, I am ready to dive into book three, Miles Bailey Gets Down on One Knee

★★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads): 

Dear Ask Annie,
I know my best friend is THE ONE. But how do I tell her that?

Annie Archer has a problem… She can’t get one email—one mind-boggling letter from her advice column out of her head. The one? Does the one even exist?

She should be able to answer this question, just like all the others. Except, she doesn’t have firsthand experience with the one. In fact, except for those few months back in tenth grade when she went temporarily insane and fell for her best friend—she’s never been in love. But then, her advice is based on research and facts, not experience.

So, time to research. Convincing Owen to be her hands-on experiment isn’t too difficult. She’ll set him up, use her guaranteed advice, and find him the girl of his dreams. It’s a foolproof plan… until everyone around them—including half her readers–start asking why she isn’t dating Owen.

Yep—Annie has BIG problems. At the top of the list—falling for her bestie.

Owen Bailey has—you guessed it—a problem. He’s found the one. He fell for his best friend a long time ago, even if she doesn’t know it. He’s been watching Annie go out with guy after guy, only to never be The Guy. And now she wants him to date other women? As in—not her?

He’ll do anything for Annie. But he doesn’t have to like it. Doesn’t she see that they were meant for each other? How can he convince her that he’s the one?

If he’s going to show Annie that it’s time for her to abandon her plans and see what’s right in front of her, he’ll need advice.

Lucky for him, he knows exactly who to ask.
