Ava is a first year resident at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. She decided to become a doctor when her twin sister, Ally, became very sick and eventually passed away at the age of 14. Ally had been her lifeline as a teen. Ally kept Ava from closing herself up to the world.
During the first year of her residency Ava finally makes friends. She starts to open up, and develop some of the personality traits she had always admired in Ally. She gets an apartment with her 3 best friends, Emily, Paige, and Miles. Who are also first year residents in the same hospital. They enjoy meals together as often as possible, and celebrate birthdays and holidays together. They become so close they are like a little family. Ava truly loves her new found friends, and the way that she is learning to enjoy life.
Ava also meets Sebastian at the hospital. He is a second-year resident, who looks older than most, and appears to be mad at the world. For Ava there is an immediate attraction to him. When he's around Ava he seems to drop his mad at the world act. Sometimes he even genuinely smiles or laughs. She can tell he has been through a lot. They develop a friendship that Ava cherishes. At times they are very close, then Sebastian pushes her away. She gets so frustrated with his "I want you in my life, no you're too close" act. She feels like he feels the same attraction to her that she feels for him, but refuses to admit it. Will they end up together? Can they each overcome their own demons to achieve true happiness?
Our Demons, Best Friends is an excellent well written romance. I became deeply attached to Ava. I could relate to her frustration with Sebastian. It is a very difficult position to be in. I really enjoyed experiencing the trials of being a first year resident. I now have even more respect for all doctors have to go through to become a doctor. I highly recommend reading this book.
I received an Advanced Reader Copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
