It started really well, but then all the feelings went from 0 to 100 all of a sudden and it made me a little confused, like Felix flipped on his emotions pretty fast and I couldn't even pinpoint a reason why. I did like both the characters, Marshall is so adorable and while I couldn't figure out how or why Felix was suddenly doing everything he could to get him, I did appreciate that he appreciated Marshall as much as he did. Miscommunication trope isn't my favorite, or anyone's favorite, but there wasn't any crazy drama because of it. 

Brady's book isn't apart of the Franklin U series, but I'm so curious about how that will end up as a Fake Boyfriend series fan.

January 2024 Reread: 

I swear every book I reread recently I like them more the second time around. Either I'm way more laid back or less picky these days. I absolutely adored this book on my reread and flew through it. Oddly enough I didn't have the same issues I mentioned in my first review (on GoodReads). 

Felix and Marshall are set up on a blind date the fails spectacularly that leads Marshall a little insecure and Felix feeling rejected. A few weeks later, Marshall moves to a shared house and it turns out Felix is one of his roommates. Their insecurities lead to a good amount of miscommunication, but they can't seem to stay away from each other. As they learn more about each other, they become determined to prove to the other how special they think they are. 

I love both Felix and Marshall. Felix comes off spoiled and selfish but it's really just a defense mechanism to stop himself from getting hurt. Marshall sees through this facade and loves how sassy and adorable Felix is. They are complete opposites, Felix is sex positive and outgoing while Marshall is demisexual, inexperienced, and an introvert. They fit together so perfectly because these differences are their favorite thing about the other. I'm a sucker for a guy carrying the other, and cuddling, and basically all the soft and swoony moments between these two adorable sometimes idiots 

Now, a lot of the plot revolves around miscommunication. However, I didn't really mind because it was the least angsty miscommunication ever. I usually don't like the trope because it leads to dumb choices by the MCs, but that wasn't the case here. The only thing that could make this book better would be more cute scenes of Felix and Marshall's connection growing. 

Still loving the Franklin U reread, and this book has some fun Frat Wars and Divorced Men's Club cameos! I'm a big Sadenverse fan and absolutely love seeing these little crumbs from the other series, like Brady and his SEALs. Excited to continue with my FU favorites.
