Description
My best friend’s brother? My brother’s best friend?
It doesn’t get any more cliché, yet...I can’t help but want him.
Kenna Ayken is a junior in high school, and she’s been crushing on a boy since forever. Too bad he’s never shown a similar interest in her. They’ve known each other since birth, and Kenna has had to endure watching him bounce from relationship to relationship, but when his home life goes from bad to worse, they find themselves growing closer. Suddenly their friendship is becoming more tangible and true, something separate from her brother, a new bond that is just for them.
All these years he has never once glanced at her in a meaningful way…
Until he does.
I’ve known Kenna my whole life and she’s always felt like another little sister to me.
Until now.
Logan West is a senior in high school, and for the first time since he’s known her, he can’t keep his eyes off of his best friend’s little sister. He’s wrong for Kenna in every way, but that’s the least of his problems. Matt has never liked seeing any guy with his little sister, and he sure as hell would have an issue with Logan pursuing her. But he can’t change the fact that he’s so much more aware of her now.
Things at home are getting…harder. When Kenna walks in one day, she sees just how bad it’s become, and reacts in a way Logan never would have expected.
Something new and electric is developing between them.
Though he knows he should, Logan can’t seem to stay away. He wants to explore these new feelings, to see if they could lead to something special.
But he can’t.
Matt is his closest friend, practically his brother, and he can’t place a wedge in their lifelong friendship over a possibility.
Right?
Recommended for mature readers as it contains some explicit content and difficult topics.

You Surround is book one in Me Seeing You series by A.G. Hayes.
I’ve found my new favorite author!
This story was freaking fire!
This NA romance was everything I was hoping it would be.
The characters and their emotions and connection was amazing.
I loved Kenna and Logan. Their feelings really showed through the pages and I could feel every single spark.
Hayes writing was spectacular. And I look forward to book two.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the characters and the slow burn romance between the two main characters. I cant wait to read more by this author in the future.

I would be highly recommend this book to everyone who loves that hot banter between main characters. The angst between these two was FIRE especially because they have such different temperaments and it's what really made this book shine!! Can’t seem to get enough of it!

Such a fun book to read and relatable characters. I enjoyed the drama between the characters and the tension between the characters. Made me wish I had that kind of friend group in high school honestly.

Review: So many of my favourite tropes all wrapped up in a book with a cute cover, what more could I want? The found family trope has me in a chokehold and I loved every minute of it in You Surround me! I enjoyed the different personalities within the friend group.
I also found myself laughing so many times because Kenna's relationship with her mom reminded me so much of my relationship with my mom 💛 My heart melted at the relationship between the siblings in this book. I always wanted to have a big brother so I could have the same type of relationship with him (I'm an only child but a girl could dream!)!
I did feel like the ending was a little awkward though. If the book ended before that scene, it would have made more sense to me because it felt like a natural ending.
If you like romance books that deal with many heavier topics, I would recommend You Surround me by A. G. Hayes!
You Surround Me is now published so read it today! 🎉
