Review: Helping Hand by Jay Northcote

Read from July 01 to 02
 
Sypnosis:Wanking with a mate isn’t gay—as long as you keep your hands to yourself.

Jez Fielding and James MacKenzie—Big Mac to his mates—are in their second year at uni. After partying too hard last year, they make a pact to rein themselves in. While their housemates are out drinking every weekend, Jez and Mac stay in to save cash and focus on their studies.

When Jez suggests watching some porn together, he isn’t expecting Mac to agree to it. One thing leads to another, and soon their arrangement becomes hands-on rather than hands-off. But falling for your straight friend can only end badly, unless there’s a chance he might feel the same.

Rating: ★★☆☆☆½

Thoughts: Expected more of a slowburn but this read more like a cliche imo. Also expected to get Googly Eyes from their love story and didn't. It felt like erotica with information I didn't care for, thrown in. It actually was HOT as reviews say which is why 3 not 2 stars. But I almost got bored with the entire book and definitely at certain parts which is why it isn't 4.

real rating 2 and a half.
