Just Friends 2

Just Friends by Haley Pham is a tender, swoony second-chance romance set in the coastal hometown of Seabrook, where childhood friendship collides with unfinished first love. Written with the emotional honesty that’s made Pham a BookTok favourite, it’s the kind of contemporary romance that pulls you in with both warmth and tension.

Blair and Declan once knew each other better than anyone—until a split-second change turned their closeness into heartbreak and silence. Four years later, Blair returns to Seabrook to help her family and lands a job at a local coffee shop… only to find Declan is the one running it. Their shared history is everywhere: in familiar streets, small routines, and the feelings neither of them quite outgrew.

Perfect for readers who love dual timelines, small-town romance, and stories about growing up, making peace with the past, and choosing what comes next.

Add it to your stack and see if Seabrook still feels like home.
