About this item

Riley Beckett met Gianna Mäkinen-drop-dead gorgeous influencer, trilingual, daughter of world-famous models, yes, that Gianna Mäkinen-their first year at Boston University, and it changed everything for the both of them. After all, when you find the person who just gets you, nothing feels quite "the same" right?

And in the ten years since, Riley has come to depend on Gianna more than anyone else in her life. She knows Gianna just as well as she knows herself-maybe better, some days. She knows Gianna is incredibly sex-positive, she knows Gianna doesn't do romance or relationships, and she knows nothing could ever come between them.

This is what makes sense to her, all of this is status-quo. But when a holiday party mix-up sets in motion a domino effect of changes to these previously inalienable truths, Riley has to question everything she thought she knew about their relationship. What, exactly, does Gianna mean to her after all?

5.0 out of 5 stars 500+ pages of pure Cass brilliance!
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2023
Okay, so here's the thing with Haley Cass books - they're not long enough. They can never be long enough. I legitimately want to crawl into these pages and never leave. This was 500+ pages of pure Cass brilliance, it was robust and lovely and layered and heartbreaking and uplifting all at the same time. Cass gently takes your hand and lovingly leads you through the most amazing sapphic love stories... On the Same Page is another stellar addition to the Haley Cass universe that is an utterly brilliant representation of the spectrum of self-discovery, human emotion, and the capacity for love.

This is a gold standard of friends to lovers. Best friends to lovers. It was absolutely perfect. I love Riley and Gianna. I loved watching their friendship evolve. I typically am not a fan of dual timelines but Cass executed this one flawlessly. Gianna's progression as a character was beautiful.
Riley is just an amazing character all the way around. The dynamic between these two is a gorgeous example of the love that two people cultivate over years of mutual adoration, how soulmates exist, and that a beautiful friendship can be the strongest foundation of a relationship.

If Haley Cass wrote it - Read it. It's that simple. It's such a beautiful experience. Each one is unique and a stunning masterpiece of sapphic love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Never Ending…
Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2024
I never wanted this book to end. It’s such a good book. The characters in it are amazing. Gianna and Riley are easy to fall in love with. How the story flitted back-and-forth from present day to college days, and being able to watch the progression of the relationship and see inside both of their hearts and minds was so endearing. I suggest anyone who enjoys a good romance of the sapphic variety read this book, you will not be disappointed, Haley Cass, bravo this is such an excellent story. This book is also on audible and is executed beautifully by the wonderful Lori Prince.

Both main characters as well as the supporting cast were all likable. Enjoyed the alternating sections from college to present day. It all came together nicely.

This is actually the best lesbian book I’ve read in a few years. It has incredible depth in the characters, a twisted plot, and hysterical humor. I actually read it slow taking breaks for hours so i could make it last longer. Im going to check to see if its on audible so i can drink spew at that first sex scene massage moment when Riley feels excitement from her massage and it gets out of control from there. I recommend it if you enjoyed other novels like The wrong McElroy by KL Hughes, or anything Georgia Beers, or And Plying The Role of Herself by KE Lane. It is an instant favorite and basically it clearly has a base drop moment that just swallows the reader into gasping. I have to say I loved it just to make it perfectly clear since evidently communication skills are not these characters best skills. Thanks Haley C. Its honestly been a fantastic three days of torture and satisfaction

5.0 out of 5 stars I would give this book 10 stars if I could
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2024
This book has become my go to reread book. I’ve read or listened to the audiobook too many times to count. The friendship and love between the two main characters is well written and believable. My heart ached for Gianna for the love she had for her best friend for so long and the pain her parents put her through. I admired Riley for being so supportive of her best friend (actually all her friends). If you can’t tell I don’t normally write reviews but I just enjoyed everything about this book that I felt compelled. I strongly urge everybody to give this book a read(or listen).

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2024
I loved this book. I loved and loved and loved it. This is a wonderful story of two lifelong friends who realize that maybe, just maybe, they're something more. Friends-to-lovers is my most favorite genre, and Haley Cass does a brilliantly fantastic job.

Gianna is a social media darling, with her own fashion line set to make waves. She doesn't date, but enjoys the occasional one-night-stand. Riley is a news producer, eager to bring true and reliable sources to the next generation. Riley does date, but hasn't in a very long time. Riley and Gianna have been inseparable for ten years, sharing an incredibly close, but very platonic, relationship. When a misunderstanding leads the two best friends to embark on a friends-with-benefits relationship with each other, it is the catalyst for so much more.

There is so much emotion packed into this book. From the opening pages to the final lines. Riley and Gianna share an enviable friendship. Early in the book even pre-FWB, Gianna hosts a party for her fashion launch, but is scrambling to make sure everything is perfect. When Riley asks to help, Gianna tells her that she can't ask guests to help. And Riley replies, "But I'm not your guest. I'm your Riley." And Gianna (and me) absolutely melt.

The two friends are often so tactile with each other, people often mistake them for partners. Cuddling and spooning your best friend during movie night is normal, right?

This book is tender. That word sort of encapsulates the whole thing. It is a fantastically tender story. It had plenty of very, very hot moments, too. But more than anything, it is a gentle exploration of two friends learning they may be so much more to each other than they have admitted.

I loved this book. It's one of the best I've read in a while. I hadn't read the novella that takes place before this book, and you don't particularly need to in order to understand this one. However, this was so damn good I'm off to buy the novella right now.
