So originally, I was gonna rate this four stars, but after a few chapters I was fully invested. A “why choose”, fake dating, friends to lovers? Yeah, I knew this was gonna be a rollercoaster. And boy, I was NOT disappointed.
There’s the ex-rugby player who says the infamous “don’t fall in love with me” line, the sweet “boy next door” who’s secretly been in love with her for YEARS, and then the ex-teacher who’s ten years older than her. It shouldn’t work and for a few chapters everyone’s worst fears come to pass, but this foursome pulls themselves together to talk everything out.
Faking with Benefits is filled with humor, spice, and DRAMA! Seriously, don’t let the cover fool you. The spice is.. well, you’ll see.
* Wow. I totally don’t blame Layla’s date for bailing. lol. Too strong, girl. Too strong for a first date.
* Hottie Zach to the rescue 😍
* Zach and his pet names are kinda swoon-worthy, ngl.
* Lol she’s drunk and hitting on her old teacher. Nice.
* Oohhh. I was wondering why “sweet” Josh seemed kind of dick-ish to Layla when she drunkenly stated she’d pay them for relationship advice. He loves her.
* Aww. Luke doesn’t wanna fake date his ex-student. I like that he has boundaries, but I’m excited for those to vanish. He should totally take Layla on as his date to the wedding his ex keeps inviting him to 😂
* Goddamn. She’s so bad at dating 😬
* Oh la la. Layla’s got a sharing kink 😏
* Those kisses… 🥵 wtf haha. 6/10.
* Luke is starting to hurt MY feelings lol.
* Oh wow. Josh really went in while Zack and Layla were kissing. He found her weakness and totally doesn’t know 😂
* Oohhh. She bold now. She wants both of them to fuck her for practice 👀 Luke is gonna fly off the fuckin handle if he walks out and sees them.
* Goddamn. Josh CAN EAT 🤭
* And Zack… that dude really took her to pound town. Along with Josh. Those two would ruin me.
* Oh no. Finding out Zack had an ex who died when they were eighteen is so sad 😭
* C’mon, Luke. Just make a move, for fuck’s sake!
* Ugh. Luke and Layla’s outing was going so good! And then Donny, an ex-something, had to go and ruin it. Fuck that dude.
* I want Josh and Layla together so bad! And with Zack and Luke, but Josh! Oh my goodness.
* Luke finally snapped! Thank god haha.
* Goddamn. Luke is very… dominant. I did not expect this 😏
* “Okay, babe. I don’t know how strong the human head is, and I don’t think it matters. There’s no weight capacity. Just sit on his face, and if he dies, he dies.” // “Damn straight. Bury him alive. Lucky guy.”
* Ayyyy. She’s at the ex-wife’s wedding with the ex-husband. Be petty!!
* She has to move to America if everything with this collaboration works out? 😬 None of the boys are happy. They all caught feelings but no one wants to fess up.
* Fuckkkk. She leaves in a week. Just reluctantly says they’ll end their experiment before she has to leave and Zack is not happy. The one who didn’t want her to fall in love with him doesn’t want her to leave. Damn.
* Goddammit, Zack.
* Well this wedding reception is an absolute shit show. Josh desperately wants to tell Layla he loves her, Zack is intending to break things off, and Luke’s es-wife is telling him that Layla is a whore. wtf.
* Wow. Luke and Zack fucked up. Poor Josh. How’s that gonna go for him?
* The fucking drama. I can’t. My heart hurts.
* Well I’m happy they came to their senses, but fuck. Zack and Luke were kind of harsh. Zack especially. I don’t want her to give in and forgive, but I know she will.
* Oh wow. She lost the collaboration with the designer in New York because of the podcast. This sucks.
* So after crying and groveling, all is well!
* And now she’s taking them has her dates to the high school reunion. Oh fuck 😂
* Damn. Drama at the high school reunion. I totally saw that coming.
* Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. They GOT MARRIED!
