💕💕💕 I just finished THE HOOKUP MIX-UP, and oh my god. What a sweet & squishy story. Perfect if you're looking for a low angst romance. 

I was so excited to see the FU series back for a round two, and Riley kicked off the series with an absolute banger. 

Perry moved to San Luco to get to know his brother (Ty from Playing Games from FU last year) and works as a bartender at Shenanigans. At a house party, the perfect man for him falls into his arms, Theo. 

These two are perfect for each other. What starts as a mix-up 😂😂😂, an adorable miscommunication, Perry and Theo go from friendship to friends with benefits to boyfriends. 

The two mcs are ADORABLY clueless. They both have their own issues, their own little angsts. But romance wise, love story wise, this story is about as low angst as it comes. 

What I loved most, besides the family dynamics, was the nickname. PUPPY. BECAUSE THEO IS SUCH A GOLDEN RETRIEVER. *squeals in dolphin language because the cuteness is off the charts* 

There were so many amazing things to love about this story, and if I listed everything I loved, then I would spoil the entire thing. But god, this book was sweet. Theo and Perry need to be protected at all costs. 

If you're looking for sweet, low angst, an adorable bi-awakening with nicknames, first times, cluelessness, and family/found family/new family vibes - look no further. This will be the squishiest, most supportive  book of your dreams. 

Did I mention this book was cute?
 Or that I loved it?
