Summary

In this madcap tale from the bestselling author of Dumped, Actually, two’s company for Jake and his bestie Sy. But three? A disaster!

Jake Carlisle is living his best life, thanks to the crazily successful influencer channel he created with his best friend Sy. Reviewing whacky hobbies and adrenaline-fuelled adventures, Sy has pushed Jake into doing more exciting stuff than either ever thought possible. Then disaster strikes.

When newbie Helena joins the team, Sy quickly falls head over heels for her…All of a sudden, with romance blossoming and the business dynamic shifting, Jake is horrified to find himself becoming the dreaded third wheel.

Being the odd one out was not what he signed up for. And he’ll do anything to get his best friend back—even if that involves a little light sabotage, an unhealthy amount of jealousy…and one very unfortunate pair of tartan Speedos.

Will Jake be relegated to the background from now on? Or will he finally learn to stand on his own two feet and succeed at getting his life—along with his friendship—back on track?

decent bit of fluff reading

reads like its target audience should be for teenage boys and not for the likes of me. however it was a decent story easy reading fluff. with some accurate thoughts on jealousy and friendship. narrator was good 👍🏽 story was a bit long winded and blaa. found myself skipping forwards a few seconds to get to the point. simple plot easy reading. not one I'd re read

A bit juvenile for me

found myself drifting off at big chunks of this, bored. Not what I've come to expect from this author narrator was great though.

Laugh out loud funny

Got some strange looks whilst listening to this with earphones, as I cackled away. Another easy to listen to tale full of hilarious mishaps and one liners , narrated brilliantly. Definitely worth a listen!

B!oody Brilliant 😍😂

This is totally hilarious. I just love Nick's sense of humour. I laughed so hard, so often, it was great. and when I say I laughed hard I mean entire body shaking, belly hurting, can't breath kind of laughter.
All 3 main characters are equally annoying and funny. The romance for on my nerve, but we get a hea, just not the type we normally get. LOVED IT!💖
Free on KU with audio book included.
Amazing narration that makes the story even funnier and better.
