One summer. One plan. Two boys.
Jess's older brother's best friend-aka her giant crush-is staying at their house for the summer. She either has the best luck ever or the worst. This is her chance to show him she's not just his best friend's shy little sister anymore. But he's a college boy. And she's.her.
Just turned eighteen. Just graduated high school. Just way too innocent for him.
Jess is a virgin. She's never been ashamed of that, except now it's holding her back from what she wants. Her lack of experience is wildly obvious, a repellant for boys who want a partner who knows what they're doing. So the only way to get the boy she really likes to notice her is to ask the boy she really hates to show her how to be, well, less innocent.
And she hates Benjamin Oliver. Loathes. Despises. Can't stand the sight of his stupid-hot face. He's her frenemy throughout and through, and a player, so not the kind of guy she'd ever seriously consider. But she needs his help-and he's actually willing to give it. All she has to do is promise him one little favor.

Review :
"Frenemies with Benefits by Lydia Sharp was such a great story. I love a great enemy to lover story and this book offered just that." -Tianna B, NetGalley
"I want to start off by saying I wish I had this book when I was a teenager. It was refreshing to read a YA book that openly discusses relationships." -Emilie Y, NetGalley
"Benjamin and Jessie are such a fun couple. Their banter is absolutely bonkers and their love to hate each other kept me laughing throughout the whole book." -Joanna's Bookshelf
"Loved every moment of this book. I can see this being a staple coming of age book for generations." -Erica K, NetGalley
"This book is cute, funny, and emotional, and is just a fun read, I found myself laughing so many times, on top of that have I mentioned how cute it is " -Ann's Bibliotherapy
"Though they spar verbally every chance they get, their chemistry is just so cute and funny. I enjoyed their banter and how they tease each other during their deal/fake relationship - it just feels so natural." -AgathaFeelingg.Reads
"Ugh, this book was so cute. I absolutely could not get enough of Jessie and Ben. They were the prime example of, "I hate you so much that I love you" and I love me a good enemies to lovers trope." -RaymondReads
"Jessica and Ben! I love their chemistry and their bickering. Their relationship started as fake and for a favor but I love everything about it. It doesn't seem forced because it wasn't really forced in the first place! I love them both!" -Wandering Between Pagess
"I loved this! The smile i had barely left my face while reading this. I love the fake dating and how oblivious the characters were to their own feelings at the beginning. Definitely recommend. Also, new book boyfriend alert!!" -Sarah.SReads
"If I had to describe this story, I would say that it is funny and refreshing. It has the perfect balance." -Sharon L, NetGalley
"If I were asked what book did you previously read but still decided to go to the bookshop just to buy a physical copy so you could re-read it? I would most definitely say this book. "Frenemies with Benefits" is a fun, nostalgic read. This book is one you would pick up, sit in your nearest coffee shop, order your favorite drink and just flip through the pages, the progressing figures of everyone else blurry behind the pages. It's a book that will have you smiling hysterically throughout. It's playful, it's hot, it's cute, it's funny and it's a most read for lovers of contemporary rom-com." -Boozy Book
"This was such a cute little romcom. It's so obvious what's going to happen, it the depth she gave each character was so great to read." -Eriko Reads
"Tutoring Jessica on intimacy, and all that entails, is an amazing balance of cute and humorous. The verbal back and forth is highly entertaining and the one liners (of which there are numerous) makes this novel even more worthy of a read." -Book Lover 67
"This upper-YA book was an incredibly fun read! It made me laugh out loud, swoon a bit, and generally reminded me how glad I am that I'm not in high school/college anymore!" -Kimberly B, NetGalley
"This book has fantastic banter, great characters, perfect chemistry, hilarious moments and some real issues that teens deal with. I adored it. The author also includes a note to readers, as this book touches a lot on sex (from great sex, to unplanned pregnancies) and consent, this is a book I wish I had when I was younger." -Wander.Through.Books
"Loved this book! Super cute teen romcom. I could see this being a movie! I wish this book existed when I was a teenager." -KJ's Book Corner
