    About this audiobook

    Libraries are meant for studying-not sex

    College sophomore Ethan Follett never says what's on his mind and never wants to rock the boat. After a high school social life spent anonymous and alone, things are finally falling into place for him. He's found a group of friends just as studious as he and is on track for a promising legal career. Out in the open, things couldn't be better, but secretly Ethan yearns for some real excitement in his life.

    He finds it in cocky fratboy Greg Sanderson, who challenges every rigid, preconceived notion Ethan lives by. Soon, their sparring relationship turns sexual, and these enemies-with-benefits get their freak on all over campus. Yet the more Ethan comes out of his shell, the more Greg retreats into his, working overtime to keep his ladies' man public persona intact. As the sex gets hotter, and they get closer to getting caught, one part of their arrangement can't stay hidden any longer: love.

    Contains mature themes.

      Story 4/5 but narration 2/5. For some reason the narrator wasn't for me so I switched to reading this elsewhere halfway the book.

      3.5 stars. This book was similar to Social Skills by Sara Alva, which I loved. I'm such a sucker for the geeky/nerdy guy hooking up with the in the closet jock/popular guy. I liked the growth of both MCs in this one, esp. when Ethan stood up to Preston at the end. I was wondering if Preston was going to end up being a d-bag or if he was going to be used to make Greg jealous. Glad he got what was coming to him!

      My only complaints are that I wish Ethan wouldn't have texted Greg after the blow-up, and I'd have liked him not to think/worry about the situation as much as he did because I did kind of feel like he was that needy girl (yes I'm saying girl because it's usually in mf books where the female MC just can't let go even though the guy was a jerk and told her off). I know Ethan was just trying to be friendly and whatever when Greg's dad showed up on campus, but I felt he was pushing too hard. I did love the bit of humor at the end with Greg's phone call to his parents, who love Ethan. I also would have liked some of the story from Greg's POV.

      That being said, I'm looking forward to the next book.
