Franklin U (FU) is back, babies!!! :D I fucking looooved this series a year and a half ago when the first installment came out, and now, there's a second installment. Excuse me while I just fangirl for a bit. The first novel is "The Hookup Mix-Up," and its by Riley Hart
["PERRY
I moved to San Luco to get to know my brother, and so far, it’s been great. Working as a bartender at Shenanigans, a bar close to Franklin University, there are beautiful men and women everywhere. When a hot guy falls into my arms at a party, I’m down for some naughty fun. Until I realize he’s way too drunk for anything to happen. Thankfully, we agree to meet up the next day.
One near-kiss later, I discover Theo has no idea I’ve been hitting on him. He thinks we’re hanging out as buddies, and to my great regret, says he’s straight. How did I misread this situation when I thought he was giving me all the right signals?
THEO
Perry thinks I’m a nine … a nine! Sure, I’m not into dudes, but it’s flattering that someone as attractive as him thinks I’m hot. Despite the confusion, Perry and I click and agree to keep hanging out. The more time I spend with him, the more I realize there’s a part of myself I’ve been ignoring. One that’s super bi and wants Perry as more than a friend.
Trying to study with him makes things hard for me…below the belt. Unfortunately, his abandonment issues have him open to a fling and nothing more, while I’m catching feelings in a big way. Can I be satisfied with a hookup? Or should I find a way to convince him to take a chance on making this something real?"]
Okay, listen: the second-hand embarrassment during their first two interactions? Good. Lord. Theo was completely clueless (in an adorable way), and Perry was in full-on flirt-mode (in a consensual way), and neither of them picked up on the other's...lack of connection to their lack of communication.
But their friendship?!?!? Friendship goals. And their with-benefits?!?!? Holy. Shit. And that's just the first 50%. The other 50%?!?!? D: It was almost too much fluff and love and spice for me to handle (in a very good way).
The trust and the support (from each other and their family/friends) and the open communication was so freaking perfect.
And don't get me started on Perry's nickname/petname for Theo.
