A review by mlglenn
Friends with Benefits by Marisa Kanter

4.5

Thank you to Marisa Kanter, Celadon Books, and NetGalley for this ARC. All opinions are my own. 

This is my second marriage of convenience ARC in a row and I’m not mad about it. I overall enjoyed this book and the plot, though I did kind of want to shake Evie and ask her why she was being the way she was. I appreciate the vulnerability of both characters and Theo learning to stand up for himself to someone he loves deeply, I just wish it had happened sooner for both their sakes!

POV: dual third person

You can expect: marriage of convenience, friends to lovers, roomance, flashbacks, forced proximity, he falls first (a long time ago)

Rep: queer FMC, lesbian side character, bisexual side characters, Crohn’s disease, chronic pain, anxiety, grief, Jewish MMC/FMC, panic attack, medication - Lexapro, past broken ankle. 

Spice: 2.5/5

CW: death of a parent (past), sports injury, absent parent, misogyny (by a side character), parental abandonment
