Book Synopsis:
Best friends? With a celebrity? Impossible.
That’s how Sesali feels after a chance encounter with super producer Dash Dean. His offer of friendship has to be a smoke screen for an ulterior motive. Besides, she already has best friends, and one of them has staked a claim on Dash.
Does it count if she never had a chance?
Dash has eyes for Sesali, and Sesali only. She’s the first person who’s made him question his solitary lifestyle in a long while.
Can he convince her to let him be down?
My Review:
The writing in I Wanna Be Down was flawless. The relationship between Sesali and Dash was effortless, from their friendship to their romance. Honestly, this story as a whole was a lesson on friendships, from the red flags to the green flags. Both characters gave a lot to those they deemed friends, for better or for worse. I can’t give too much more on my thoughts on characters without giving parts of the story away and I am not a fan of spoilers in reviews, so if you’d like to see my reactions to parts of the book and other characters, check out my highlights and notes of the book on Goodreads. This was another success for Ashley, but I’ve come to expect that from her after all of these years. Technically, this is a friend’s to lovers so if you’re into those like I am, I highly recommend it.
