Acerca de esta escucha
Lifelong best friends say 'I do' to a marriage of convenience, trading vows for a financial safety net and benefits. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Katherine Center.
Evie Bloom pays attention to the details. Her very job depends on it—as an aspiring Foley artist, she’s responsible for every crisp footstep, smacking kiss, and distinct sound in film and television. So when she’s selected for a fellowship opportunity that would make all her career dreams come true, she’s quick to spot the catch: there are no health benefits, and for someone with a chronic illness, that’s a non-starter.
Theo Cohen is an elementary school teacher who can't afford to live on his own in LA, and is facing eviction after his roommates couple up and move out of their rent-controlled apartment. But there is one loophole in his lease: each tenant must meet an income threshold, unless the tenants are married.
For Theo, the answer is obvious. Marry Evie, his best friend since forever. It’s not as if they don’t spend all their free time together anyways. Not only will Theo be able to keep his apartment, but Evie can be added to his insurance plan so she can accept her dream fellowship. It’s such a logical, practical solution. Never mind that Evie doesn’t really want to be married—not to Theo, not to anyone—ever. Or the small, complicating fact that Theo has always been a little bit in love with Evie.
But it doesn’t have to be a big deal. Marriage. It will just give them space to breathe, and much-needed relief from the daily financial stress. It won’t change anything.
It’s . . . going to change everything.
A Macmillan Audio production from Celadon Books.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"There are many fake-dating and marriage-of-convenience romances out there, but Kanter’s stands out... Theo and Evie have sizzling chemistry, and their relationship is a satisfyingly slow burn. A romance that balances fun tropes with the frustrating realities of America’s healthcare system."
—Kirkus
"Marisa Kanter's adult debut delves deep into the complexity of romance and friendship and delivers a tender love story that sparkles on the page. This is the kind of read that's good for both the heart and the soul."
—Kate Spencer, author of In a New York Minute and co-host of the award-winning podcast Forever35
“Sweeping, romantic, and highly emotional, Friends With Benefits takes an all-too-relevant marriage of convenience and deftly paints a portrait of longing, tenderness, and heat between two friends who are destined for the real thing from page one. Prepare to swoon for Evie and Theo and a love story that lingers long after the last page.”
—Carlyn Greenwald, author of Director’s Cut
"Full of emotional depth and pitch-perfect chemistry, Friends With Benefits is a heartfelt, once-in-a-lifetime romance that totally delivers."
—Annabel Monaghan, bestselling author of Nora Goes Off Script and Same Time Next Summer
"A fresh, cinematic romance seamlessly blended with an exploration of modern adulthood. With Marisa Kanter’s wholly immersive writing, every detail springs to life in vivid color. The kind of book that feels instantly timeless.”
—Rachel Lynn Solomon, New York Times bestselling author of The Ex Talk

Mo Sarda carefully guards his peaceful life from other people’s messy feelings. He co-parents his daughter with no drama, sits quietly at family gatherings, tends to his beloved plants, and volunteers to teach blacksmith skills at the local Folk School. No one seems to get him, except for his family, and that’s completely fine with Mo—there’s no one else he needs. Then along comes Jessica Anderson and her damn crossbow.

I’m not one for holding grudges. But when Vincent Forde, billionaire perfume tycoon, crashes his shiny overpriced car into mine? Yeah, I’m holding that grudge. With his flashy car, tailored suit, and brooding glare—everything about him screams entitled bosshole. And then he acts like the fender bender was my fault! Seriously, who does this arrogant, sculpted devil think he is? He covers the damages—but with a request that has me fuming—and I figure that’s the last I’ll ever see of Mr. Rich and Ridiculous.

Historia
Noelle Tom really shouldn’t have eaten those dumplings at the night market. But the old woman at the stall said they’d give her what she needed most, and what Noelle desperately needed after another long workweek was food. Except now she’s reliving the same Friday. Every morning her alarm goes off at 6:45, and the Wordle answer is always “happy.” Worst of all, any work she does at her job as an engineer? It’s erased when she wakes up. Monday might never come in this workaholic’s nightmare.

Let me just say this upfront: I have zero plans to fall for Ian Kendrick. Not after my recent breakup. Not with all the embarrassing memories I’m sure he still has of me from when we were kids. And definitely not while we’re living a few feet apart, because if it doesn’t work out, things will get super awkward.

I don't have time for romance, much less for prissy Madison Glen. The first time I meet her, I kiss her. The second time I meet her, she's breaking into my neighbor's house. She swears up and down she's not a criminal. Maybe not, but she is definitely a distraction I don't need. I've got my hands full with my mouthy daughter and an insanely busy life as a hotshot firefighter. It doesn't surprise me at all to learn Madison was homecoming queen in high school.

Margot Reid has everything prepared for her first year of college. She picked her major, registered early for classes, and even brought the perfect roommate. The one thing she didn’t plan for is the annoying guy who plays guitar across the hall. Jackson Phillips may be insanely good looking, but he’s also insufferable. From the moment Margot confronts him about his constant playing, the one thing they can agree on is wanting to avoid each other at all costs. It seems like a solid plan. That is, until their roommates and closest friends start dating.
