My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Benji writes bestselling romance novels but they would never write a story about a guy about him. He is a quirky introvert with an overactive imagination, underwhelming social skills, and is a few pounds overweight. His best friend Darren is like a cover model, outgoing, charismatic, free-spirited, and the best guy ever. He is convinced that a guy like Darren would never fall for someone like him. Darren is twenty-seven, he didn't make it in Hollywood and was forced to slump back home to Australia with his tail between his legs. The only bright spot in his life is nabbing the apartment next door to his best friend, Benji. Like no one he's ever met, he's genuine, sensitive, nurturing, a talented author and an amazing cook. He is handsome. And Darren is so in love with Benji. When Benji needs some inspiration to clear his writer's block, Darren gladly helps out as it's not as if he's suddenly going to fall in love with him.
This was a cute story and I liked the mental health aspect but it wasn't too much of a best friends-to-lovers story as I felt that they were both in love with each other to start with they just didn't think they were worthy of the other to love them back. The mental health side was a little high level and lacked detail. I did love the grand gestures and the walks home from work. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.
