Benji (Walking Disaster #1)


Not sure what to read, but I've been meaning to read some more of E.M. Denning's things. Here's "Benji." It's the first novel in her Walking Disaster series.

["Benji Hayes is at the end of his rope. His best friend is an ocean away, he's lost his apartment, his job, and he's living out of his car. Then—he loses that too. When he calls for help, his knight in shining armor turns out to be the last person he expected to see. Leo Spalding, his best friend's elusive dad. The man he's only met once, and not under the best circumstances.

Leo offers to take him in, and Benji finds himself in more debt than he can ever repay. The tow bill, the dead car, the safe, warm bed to sleep in every night. Not to mention the food Leo cooks when he's hungry, and even when he's not. Benji is in heaven. He never wants to leave, but then he goes and ruins everything—just like always.

Benji is a walking disaster who has no business crushing on a successful older man, especially one who has gone out of his way to help. Benji can't stop himself from falling for his best friend's dad. The crush itself is bad enough, but acting on those burgeoning feelings would only lead to an even bigger disaster, right?

Right?

So why does he do it, anyway?

And what are they going to do now?"]

Benji is the purest definition of walking disaster. And 90% if the time it’s not even his fault, which he would argue with (but that’s why he as Oliver—and now Leo). Leo is the walking definition of pure confidence and stability and support (which is why life throws him a Benji-shaped wrench into his life). 

These two are a hot mess. A hot fucking mess. But they’re so freaking cute and perfect for each other and so disgustingly happy together. 

I can’t wait for the next book!
