Barely Even Friends

"Praise for Barely Even Friends: ""Barely Even Friends is page after page of heartfelt joy. Steamy, cozy, and hopeful, this is the perfect modern Beauty and the Beast retelling I've been waiting for!"" —Chloe Liese, author of Two Wrongs Make a Right ""Barely Even Friends is a delightful tribute to romance in so many ways: trope-filled and steamy, vulnerable and swoony. But most of all, it is fun, a Beauty & the Beast retelling that adds the kind of quirkiness to a classic tale that only a romance novel can. I loved spending time at the Killington estate."" —Anita Kelly, author of Love & Other Disasters ""With a fresh spin on a tale as old as time, Barely Even Friends is the sexy, bantery contemporary retelling of my dreams. An incredible debut full of heat and heart and delicious enemies-to-lovers energy!"" —Naina Kumar, author of Say You'll Be Mine “The Beauty and the Beast adaptation I didn't know I needed. Mae Bennett's Barely Even Friends absolutely delights with a steamy debut that ramps up the tension right from the beginning. The characters at the centre of this grumpy/sunshine romance have a depth that resonates, rebuilding a crumbling old house while simultaneously restoring their hearts, and surrounded by an original and unique supporting cast that I couldn't get enough of. Bennett has taken a classic romance tale and made it her own; I can't wait for more from Mae.” —Ruby Barrett, author of The Romance Recipe"
