Blurb:

Best friends Case and Mitchell are so inseparable everyone assumes they’re dating. Case’s dad even buys them a joint gift—a camping trip. Even though Case hates the woods, he wants Mitchell to have a good time. When they discover the trip is a couples’ retreat, they have to fake a relationship. Case can’t understand why the trust and intimacy exercises the other couples struggle with come so naturally to them. After all, they’re not really boyfriends….

Review:

Awwwwwww, this was just sweet and adorable, but not saccharine with two absolutely squish-worthy characters.  Mitchell and Case are given a joint camping trip from Case’s dad, and the two best friends head for the wilderness despite Case’s trepidations.  Once there and participating in many couple bonding, trust and honesty exercises, they both realize that out of every ‘couple’ there, they are the most solid.  Their relationship and friendship is just about perfect as Mitchell would say.

There isn’t too much background with the two guys but the reader, I fill, still gets a great picture of why these two are friends and how they complement each other.  The differences are what make them special. 

The blind folding and sharing stick made me smile, and when the book was over I gave a happy little sigh. 

There was a little error with a character’s hair switching colors, but other than that ridiculously small thing; I loved this.  Excited for more from this author.
