About this audiobook

“This is one addictively swoony book." —Ali Hazelwood, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"The dual narration allows Clover and Bennett their own perspectives, yet [narrators Heather] Firth (Clover) and [Robert] Hachet (Bennett) respect the vocal patterns and attitudes that the other creates. Intimate scenes are narrated with passion and respect...A winning narration and a fun series start." —Booklist

From #1 New York Times–bestselling author Julie Murphy comes a sexy rom-com about a college marriage of convenience that goes way beyond chemistry 101...The first in a trilogy of romance novels that follows a group of girls as they navigate love, friendship, and new adulthood, this is perfect for fans of Elle Kennedy and Hannah Grace.


CLOVER ROWAN WALSH knows The PlanTM.
1. Get a full ride to her dream school, Wexley University.
2. Conquer the school of business.
3. Say goodbye to the paycheck-to-paycheck life she and her mom have known for years.

There’s just one hiccup. With the first semester rapidly approaching, Clover learns her housing grant has fallen through. But a loophole presents itself: Married couples can live in the dorms for the price of one student. Clover is willing to sacrifice the sanctity of marriage . . . even if it means proposing to the one person she swore she’d never speak to again.

Bennett Andrew Graves is the only heir to the Graves Coffee empire. After spending his first year at Wexley, squeaking by in classes and becoming personally acquainted with the female student body, he is looking forward to living off campus. Until the girl he grew up with (and whom he completely devastated years ago) walks back into his life with the most absurd question: Will you marry me?

Bennett can’t refuse Clover. He owes her this, but that doesn’t change the fact that these two can barely carry on a conversation without getting at each other’s throats. Forget about sharing a dorm—much less one bed.

But as Clover and Bennett hide the true nature of their marriage, they find that playing house isn’t all that bad—especially with certain marital benefits in the mix. In fact, Clover and Bennett are soon forgetting the most important part of their fake marriage of convenience . . . that it’s supposed to be fake.

"Julie Murphy reached into my soul and gave me exactly what I needed." —Julie Soto, #1 New York Times bestselling author

This is a college aged fake marriage of a young man and young woman who grew up together. Clover is the daughter of the hired help and Bennett is the son of the woman that hired her mother. He is very rich and she is very poor. They are now in the same college, but Clover can't afford housing. After a sort of traumatic event that Bennett caused in high school, Clover figures he owes it to her to marry her so they can get in married housing. They soon discover that they have feelings for each other. This is a little steamy with likeable characters and feelings that don't stop. It was pretty good! I listened to the audio version of this book narrated by Heather Firth and Robert Hatchat. The narrations were very good and was easy to understand sped up. Yea! Thanks to Macmillan Audio for the audiobook. All thoughts are my own.

Ahh...I was in the mood for college level angst and this suited that mood perfectly. It's a best friends to enemies to lovers trope and features a fun group of students that become friends at the school. Amid the real but fake wedding vows, hallway grilled cheese sandwiches, the wealthy elitist frat boys, and the uncertainty of what to wear we get to the heart of why Bennett and Clover lost their friendship and how they found the courage to heal and become so much more. I listened to the audiobook and it's a great way to enjoy this contemporary romance. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

Found this one to be super cute. I did cringe with tye second and third act breakup. Because why is there not one but two instances where these kids break up. Maybe the second one doesn't really count because she came to her senses but still was way to close for me a hater of third act breakups.
