Friends With Benefits was not what I expected based on the cover. The cover lead me to believe that this would be a light rom com. This turned out to be a much deeper dive into a friends to lovers troupe. The FMC and the MMC were well developed through the plot. There was an emphasis on the challenges of living with a chronic illness that made the story a bit heavier and complicated the plot and gave it depth. I did find the middle a little long but I was happy I saw the book through to the end.
The audio was a dual narration which delineated the perspective that the story was being told in very well. Although, some parts of the book were told twice but from each main character's perspective. The production was well done with extra details that made it even more realistic.
Thank you Net Galley, Marisa Kanter, Caledon Books and Macmillian Audio for the opportunity to preview this title. The opinions shared are my own.
Friends with Benefits is now available.
I gave a 3.5 rounded up to 4 stars
