Earn Your Extra Credit

By: Meghan Quinn

Narrated by: Sebastian York, Erin Mallon

"She went home with someone else that night?" Hearing the disbelief from my best friend's mouth makes the events of my failed date sting that much more. I would like to make it known, I have a lot more swagger than what it seems. I don't normally ask a girl out, have her fail to recognize it's a date, and then give me a high five - as if I'm her wingman - and take off with someone else. No. Normally I'm the one taking the girl home, but with Stella, it's been one failed attempt after another and frankly, I'm done trying.

But thanks to my best friend getting married in Hawaii right before the school year starts, I'm stuck on a tropical island, watching Stella parade around in what she claims is a bathing suit. Unfortunately, that's not the worst of it - just the tip of the iceberg. Because what I think is going to be a relaxing vacation, avoiding the one girl I can't seem to make it work with, has turned into a spectacle of being recruited as Stella's doting fake fiancé so she can save face with an old "friend" from high school. Now, I'm navigating through purgatory while trying not to get turned on by the way she holds my hand or kisses my jaw. It's all fake, that's what I keep telling myself - even though it feels entirely too real.

Loved!!

Narration was on point. The characters came alive for me and I love them together! The story was captivating and had me laughing my butt at on more than one occasion! I’m hoping the series is continued with Coras story.. fingers crossed

12 hours of laughs and love

This is my first book from this series but I will be going to get the others on pay day.
Standalone with no cliffhangers.
I laughed so much, the friendships and banter was perfect.
Romeo is half in love with Stella before he even asks her out, when the date is over before it starts the fight begins, but then he's her fiance?
Stella is very attracted to Romeo, but he's a player and she wants more, plus he's way above her league. Right?
She just needs him to pretend to be together for 2 weeks while in Hawaii, what could go wrong?
Such a fun romance, your going to love it.
Sebastian and Erin did a great job as they always do.
I was given a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for my honest review.

Good, but not my fave MQ book

I LOVE Meghan Quinn’s books, and while I enjoyed this one it wasn’t my favorite.
I really liked the recurring characters and the guest appearances from some of the Brentwood boys! The MQ universe is one of the best parts of her books.

I think I may be one of the few people who doesn’t love Erin Mallons narration… so that kind of made this book less enjoyable. It’s not bad per se, I just don’t like the fast pace and weird upswing.

It had the classic MQ spice level, which I enjoyed. I have a hard time with a “ 🌶️ scale” because I don’t think I’ve read enough romance with spice to give a good number…. But for comparison it’s more descriptive than the few Lauren Blakey books I’ve read (imo).
I did like that this love story was based on a friendship. Excited to listen to the next one in the series! :)

All the feels

Charming, loving, and laugh out loud scenes. Plus it great narration on a well written story.

More Antics at Forest Heights High

One word - eels!
Make that two - glue (ha ha)
Oh what the heck, who am I kidding. So many words. It’s Meghan Quinn for crying out loud. Funny is her middle name. Where does she come up with these hilarious storylines, she is the absolute queen of rom com.
That said, there are some really emotional moments in this story too, Brock ‘Romeo’ Romero and Stella Garcia really need to learn how to communicate, so many misunderstandings, and for two people with so much in common, and so much attraction and chemistry, you would think navigating a friendship/relationship would come more naturally. Those pesky insecurities getting in the way of true love. This friends to lovers, fake engagement rom com takes us back to Forest Heights High School where this wonderful group of friends taking a trip to Hawaii to celebrate Arlo and Greer’s nuptials. This story is an interconnecting standalone so you’ll quite possibly come across some of your other favourite characters in and amongst. Another wonderful read. I completely adored Stella, she was narrated perfectly by Erin Mallon. As much as I love Sebastian York, who did in fact do a standup job, I’m not 100% sure he was the best choice for Romeo.
