This is my second book from Christina Lauren, the first book being The Unhoneymooners and I know her (or their) books are pretty popular and so far The Unhoneymooners still reign on top but I did enjoy MFHNS (My favorite half-night stand).

This book is about Millie and Reid who are best friends. They hooked up one night but considered it just a one time thing. In their circle of best friends, they all agreed to try a dating site to find dates to an event. After failure of finding a match, Millie creates a new profile under the name Catherine but what she didn’t expect was to be matched with Reid then stuff goes down after that.

I love books that share double POV between the main character and the love interests because I can get inside both their heads.

Also usually in book whenever the main character has an inner conflict, they start to sound repetitive but in this book, Millie didn’t sound as repetitive as some books.

You know how in most contemporary books, it’s always the dude or the love interest fault for what drives them apart but in this book, it’s Millie, our main character, fault instead and she’s the one who has to beg forgiveness and try to earn the love interest back which is something new. I also really liked Reid’s voice in this book and enjoyed their group of friends. I didn’t dislike Millie in this book but I was more looking forward to Reid’s chapters than Millie’s.

In conclusion, if you’re looking for a quick light humorous read then this is your book. I hope you guys enjoy this quick review! I rated this 3.5 stars but I’ll round it to four just because I enjoyed the story!

Thanks for reading! 🎃

Millie Morris has always been one of the guys. A UC Santa Barbara professor, she’s a female-serial-killer expert who’s quick with a deflection joke and terrible at getting personal. And she, just like her four best guy friends and fellow professors, is perma-single.

So when a routine university function turns into a black tie gala, Mille and her circle make a pact that they’ll join an online dating service to find plus-ones for the event. There’s only one hitch: after making the pact, Millie and one of the guys, Reid Campbell, secretly spend the sexiest half-night of their lives together, but mutually decide the friendship would be better off strictly platonic.

But online dating isn’t for the faint of heart. While the guys are inundated with quality matches and potential dates, Millie’s first profile attempt garners nothing but dick pics and creepers. Enter “Catherine”—Millie’s fictional profile persona, in whose make-believe shoes she can be more vulnerable than she’s ever been in person. Soon “Catherine” and Reid strike up a digital pen-pal-ship…but Millie can’t resist temptation in real life, either. Soon, Millie will have to face her worst fear—intimacy—or risk losing her best friend, forever.
