Título: Friends With Benefits
Autor: Marisa Kanter
Sinopse: Lifelong best friends say 'I do' to a marriage of convenience, trading vows for a financial safety net and benefits. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Katherine Center. Evie Bloom pays attention to the details. Her very job depends on it--as an aspiring Foley artist, she's responsible for every crisp footstep, smacking kiss, and distinct sound in film and television. So when she's selected for a fellowship opportunity that would make all her career dreams come true, she's quick to spot the catch: there are no health benefits, and for someone with a chronic illness, that's a non-starter. Theo Cohen is an elementary school teacher who can't afford to live on his own in LA, and is facing eviction after his roommates couple up and move out of their rent-controlled apartment. But there is one loophole in his lease: each tenant must meet an income threshold, unless the tenants are married. For Theo, the answer is obvious. Marry Evie, his best friend since forever. It's not as if they don't spend all their free time together anyways. Not only will Theo be able to keep his apartment, but Evie can be added to his insurance plan so she can accept her dream fellowship. It's such a logical, practical solution. Never mind that Evie doesn't really want to be married--not to Theo, not to anyone--ever. Or the small, complicating fact that Theo has always been a little bit in love with Evie. But it doesn't have to be a big deal. Marriage. It will just give them space to breathe, and much-needed relief from the daily financial stress. It won't change anything. It's . . . going to change everything.

Sobre a editora
Os livros da editora Celadon Books costumam apresentar narrativas densas e envolventes, muitas vezes explorando dinâmicas familiares complexas e temas como trauma geracional, segredos e identidade. A experiência de leitura é marcada por um ritmo que pode ser tanto lento e deliberado, como em dramas familiares profundos, quanto tenso e cheio de suspense em thrillers psicológicos. O catálogo sugere uma preferência por personagens multifacetados e histórias que combinam elementos literários com enredos que provocam reflexão sobre questões sociais, culturais e pessoais.
