PERRY
I moved to San Luco to get to know my brother, and so far, it’s been great.
Working as a bartender at Shenanigans, a bar close to Franklin University,
there are beautiful men and women everywhere. When a hot guy falls into my arms
at a party, I’m down for some naughty fun. Until I realize he’s way too drunk
for anything to happen. Thankfully, we agree to meet up the next day.
One near-kiss later, I discover Theo has no idea I’ve been hitting on him. He
thinks we’re hanging out as buddies, and to my great regret, says he’s
straight. How did I misread this situation when I thought he was giving me all
the right signals?
THEO
Perry thinks I’m a nine… a nine! Sure, I’m not into dudes, but it’s
flattering that someone as attractive as him thinks I’m hot. Despite the
confusion, Perry and I click and agree to keep hanging out. The more time I
spend with him, the more I realize there’s a part of myself I’ve been ignoring.
One that’s super bi and wants Perry as more than a friend.
Trying to study with him makes things hard for me… below the belt.
Unfortunately, his abandonment issues have him open to a fling and nothing
more, while I’m catching feelings in a big way. Can I be satisfied with a
hookup? Or should I find a way to convince him to take a chance on making this
something real?

The Hookup Mix-Up is the first book in the second season of the Franklin
U series. Franklin U is a multi-author series of standalones all based on the
same college campus.
Perry moved to San Luco not to attend Franklin U but to get to know his brother,
Ty, who is a student there. Ty grew up with their dad, but Perry did not, hence
finding him as an adult to get to know his brother. After hearing about a party
going on, Perry is all for going even though he doesn't know anyone there. When
he walks in and sees the most adorable guy he's ever seen almost fall off the
table and directly into Perry's arms, he thinks it can't be that easy to find a
hookup can it? After spending some time with Theo, he realizes he's way too
drunk and high to do anything but flirt all night and swaps numbers for when
he's sober. Perry's more of a hookup and go kind of guy than letting people in
and having a relationship. When he finds out Theo is straight, he doesn't want
to stop seeing him and everyone needs a new friend, right?
Theo can't help but like the knight in shining armor who saves him from falling
off the table, but while he just thinks he's being a nice guy, he doesn't
realize that Perry is flirting and wanting to hook up with him. He likes Perry
but not that way, until he starts noticing Perry in a new way. Could he be
bisexual? Could there be more to Theo wanting to hang out with Perry all the
time?
I loved everything about the beginning of season two of FU. Perry has his walls
around built so high from the trauma of growing up with a dad who didn't want
him and he thinks no one else will. Theo is able to break down that wall, piece
by piece, and show Perry he deserves so much more than he's letting himself
have. Theo is under so much pressure being the first in his family to graduate,
but school is so incredibly hard for him. He tries but something just doesn't
make sense when he's studying, until Perry offers to help and read to him,
which makes it easier. They were everything the other needed and then some. The
chemistry and the soft way Perry "taught" Theo was so sweet. I am a
huge fan of these authors and can't wait to get more in this series!
