Call of Booty
by Anastasia Austin
JOSH
I’ve always had two dreams. One, develop games for Asteroid Studios. Two, lose my virginity to Gwen, the girl I’ve had a crush on since I was eleven.
Career goals are easy. Work my ass off and get the job. My relationship goals, on the other hand, are impossible seeing how my childhood crush is also my little sister’s best friend.
After four years of college and six years of successful indie game development, I finally got my dream job but I’m still no closer to getting my dream girl.
Gwen and I are solidly in the friend zone. But when my sister has to go on a business trip and leaves Gwen without a human shield to warn off an over-zealous co-worker, I have the chance to show her we could be more than friends. Or I could ruin our friendship trying to turn our fake date, and my lifelong dream, into something real.

Looking to recover after Long Shot, I wanted something light and honestly, can you get lighter than a friends to lovers where the MMC is still a virgin? Cause I don’t think you can.
Gwen lives with Josh’s sister. They seem to have known each other forever and Gwen and Josh are incredibly close. They’ve both had crushes on the other over the years but being scared to ruin their friendship or the relationship with the sister, they’ve never done anything about it. When Josh stays with them for two weeks and the sister has to go on a business trip, things get frisky pretty quick. There’s a WEE BIT of drama, but honestly this book is so straight forward. They love each other.
The characters in this novella are cute. Their friendship seems easy and real. The story is fun. My biggest issue with this book is that I was hoping for more details, cough cough. But I also didn’t realize that the book was only 111 pages until I was almost done. It’s quick so there isn’t enough time for all the details that I wanted. I recommend this if you just need something to clear the fog of heavier books.
-SPOILERS-
My question is though…why the fuck was he out there masturbating on the couch?!

“Are you having second thoughts?”
When Gwen’s voice hits my ears I confess, “What if—What if I’m bad at it?”
“You won’t be bad at it,” she assures me with a darkness in her tone that makes my hips twitch. Eager to thrust forward. But then… “What if I come before you?”
“Then we’ll do it again.”
