Easily my favorite of the entire series!! What can I say? I have a thing for rivals to lovers. This book was a lot of fun with a compelling story. I really enjoyed the romance as it developed between London and Drew, both interesting characters together and as individuals. But overall I really loved this and I look forward to reading more from this author!

Thank you to Forever and NetGalley for this ARC!

I absolutely loved this one, just as much as the others in this series. Its themes of family, health, and of course enemies to lovers, gave the story depth and dimensions that allowed the characters to grow.

I will definitely be picking up a copy on its pub date, and everyone else should too!

Farrah Rochon can do no wrong in my book! London Kelley is an uber-successful pediatric resident at a small hospital in Texas. Constantly living in an almost burned-out state, her blood pressure and besties are doing whatever they can to slow her down. On the night of her high school reunion, London sees Drew Sullivan- her archnemesis from high school. What starts as a snarky conversation, ends in a night of steamy sex, leading London into a situation she's not ready for. After she learns the real reason Drew is sticking around, London has to decide whether to give up one of the best things that have happened to her in a while or if she's ready to make a change- in her life and love life.

I loved catching up with these characters in the third installment of The Boyfriend Project. Steamy and cute, this is one not to miss!

In the highly anticipated conclusion to the Boyfriend Project series, we finally get London's story in The Hookup Plan. Pediatric surgeon resident London is wound tight and under a great deal of stress in her last year of residency. When a high school reunion brings back her high school nemesis, Drew, into her life, London decides the best way to relieve her stress is a no strings attached hookup. But when she discovers that Drew is anything but a temporary fixture in her life, London must decide what's the best course of action for her life.

My day was made when I got the surprise widget of this book and I immediately dropped everything and began reading. Throughout the first two books, I was always so intrigued by London's character and I was so happy to finally read her story. The Hookup Plan did not disappoint.

I have loved London's character from the beginning, but getting into her head was a treat. With both her best friends settling down, she's insecure in her singledom, but is too much of a perfectionist and control freak to really commit to someone else. London is so tenacious and goes for what she wants. I loved how stubborn she was, but it didn't come out of a place of obstinance, but a from holding true to the high standards she places on herself. I related so much to London's quest to make a difference, yet find her place in the world.

Drew was the perfect hero for London. He sees the true her and I loved that he was the one that pursued London the entire book. He's had eyes for her since high school and is taking his chance to push London outside of her comfort zone. Deep down, he has such a big, caring heart, even though he puts up a tough façade. Drew's story of grief was incredibly touching and made his character arc layered and emotionally charged.

The Hookup Plan is an enemies to lovers romance. Drew and London have electric chemistry and you can feel it from their first interactions. True to form, the characters have amazing wit and banter, which had me laughing out loud so many times. But above all, I adore the friendship between London, Samiah, and Taylor. The Hookup Plan was the perfect ending to this series.

I have to say, I loved this one so much! Over the course of the other books, London was a bit of a mystery, always extremely busy with work with next to no time for a social life. I really wasn't sure what to make of London before now because all I really knew of her was she was a very busy doctor. I'm so glad we got to see more of her, her backstory and how she became the woman she is.

Drew and London were fire from the moment they are on the page together, matching wits and going to head to head - just like they did in high school. Though they hadn't seen each other in 15 years, they met again at their high school reunion and that's where their second chapter begins.

I loved this enemies to friends with benefits to friendship to lovers story. My favorite thing about this series is the strong female friendship - they are strong, fierce, dedicated, hardworking, supportive and downright bad ass. While I'm sad to see the series come to an end, there was no better way to end it.

I really enjoyed this novel. I've been a big fan of Rochon from the first novel in this series and it didn't disappoint. The characters have chemistry, great dialogue, and I love the conflict. I look forward to seeing what else she comes up with!

I was lucky to get an early sneak peak of The Hookup Project, the final book in Farrah Rochon’s The Boyfriend Project trilogy.

I’ve loved each of the books and each of the heroines in the series, but London just hit different. For me, London was THE most relatable of the heroines in the series - and often in a powerful, gut punching, take-good-look-at-yourself-in-the-mirror mirror. London is real over achiever, workaholic, doesn’t practice self care, Capricorn vibes.

The story begins with London at the high school reunion (that she planned) running into her high school nemesis, her co-valedictorian, Drew, whose now a very successful finance-guy millionaire. (I also still have intense competitive feelings towards the guy who I was competing against for valedictorian, but definitely definitely not THOSE types of feelings 😑. So, relatable to some extent 😂.)

London needs to take a break! She needs some work-life balance! All she does is work and hang out once a week with her two friends. She’s

I love Drew! I didn’t think I would, because I’m not a huge fan of millionaire/billionaire romances, but I loved Drew because he had such a compelling backstory that informs so much of who he is and what he does. I also love

Talking County budgets and audits and efficiency does get me steamy!

She chose service, community, family, and doing the work she loves over taking a job with prestige that she’s expected to take. She’s prioritizing her own happiness and well-being over expectations of others.

I abandoned my TBR for this book and I regret nothing. Each of the books in The Boyfriend Project series has gotten better and better - and I'm happy to report that this book is not an exception. I was the most excited for London's book because I relate so much to her. She's a professional badass who just can't turn off and relax. Enter Drew, the chiseled hedge fund manager with a heart of gold. I wasn't expecting all of the steam in this book, but I was pleasantly surprised. More than that, it isn't *just* steam. Drew wants a relationship with London, and London is trying to make sure that her hospital isn't privatized. There's so much to love about this book - between the Austin vibes, the discussion about spousal abuse, and the acerbic banter throughout... You're in for a good time.

When I saw this book was available for an ARC I had to jump on it. The first book I read in this trilogy was The Dating Playbook and it was one of my favorite ARCs of last year, even on my top books list! I fell in love with these badass women who were nothing short of exceptional. More recently, I went back and read The Boyfriend Project and was equally enamored by it. But nothing prepared me for The Hookup Plan! I loved seeing the friendship between these women continue and grow and I loved seeing London's story. Farrah Rochon really kept the best for last! I loved the dynamic between London and Drew as well, and as much as I love the other couples, they took the cake for me. With all this being said, if you liked the first two books read this phenomenal end to this trilogy! If you enjoy badass female leads, read this trilogy. If you like badass female surgeons (which is my favorite in books), read this book!

Thank you to the author for giving me the opportunity to read an ARC of this book!

I have been waiting so impatiently for London's story. I knew I would love it, in part because she has always been my favorite of the three friends and in part because I wanted to read more about her work as a pediatric surgeon.

London is direct and always fights for what she believes in. And wow, she gets the perfect guy. Drew was London's high school nemesis, setting up a fabulous enemies-to-lovers story. But now he is so driven to do good. I found him incredibly sweet. And I loved that he was so invested in their relationship.

One of the amazing things that Farrah Rochon has done in each book of the series is incorporate really important social issues. In this book, she addresses the medical system and how egregious it is that parents worrying for their sick children need to also be worried about how big the hospital bills will be. I so deeply appreciate this reality being laid out in a clear and empathetic manner. The way in which she weaves in important topics is one of the things that consistently makes me rate this series five stars.

Once again, I adore the friendship between London, Taylor, and Samiah. Getting to see both Taylor and Samiah also continue on the journeys they began in The Boyfriend Project was incredibly special. And I adored the epilogue. I am so sad to see this series end, but I am so grateful for the way in which it did. The Hookup Plan is my favorite of all. While you could probably read it as a stand alone, I highly recommend that you should read the whole series.

Thank you so much to Forever and NetGalley for the advanced reader copy. These opinions are my own.

My day was made on Wednesday when I got the best email with a widget to The Hookup Plan by! I absolutely loved The Boyfriend Project and The Dating Playbook and I've been eagerly awaiting the third book in this series!

I've loved the unlikely friendship between Samiah, Taylor & London and how absolutely awesome these women are!

London's a successful pediatric surgeon and under a lot of stress in her final year of residency. She runs into her high school archnemesis, Drew at their 15 year reunion and was looking for just a casual hookup...

I loved this book! The dynamics and sparks between London & Drew were wonderful. This is my favorite kind of enemies to lovers -- they have a past with each other and they meet again as adults. While this was slightly an insta-romance it still felt believable to me and you could see that Drew would do anything for London. I liked how they talked about their relationships with their families and how that made a big impact on them.

If you haven't read the first two books yet, read them now so you can fall in love with these women and their incredible men! Pre-order this book now!

The Hookup Plan by Farrah Rochon is a great contemporary romance that is the third book in the equally excellent series: The Boyfriend Project. I just loved it!

London Kelley and Dew Sullivan are what peanut butter and jelly are to a sandwich…a perfect compliment and match…only London doesn’t realize this quite yet.

I loved this romance of “enemies” to friends to a relationship concept in this book because it totally works. Both have complicated pasts individually and with one another. Both are smart, successful, sassy, and totally perfect for the other. Their respective journeys to find their own happiness and in finding that as a part within themselves and within their own relationship is just great.

Pair that storyline with the overarching narrative of three female friends with a wonderful, fulfilling friendship (London, Taylor, and Samiah), and one has got themselves an excellent book.

(As of note, if you haven’t read the previous two books featuring Samiah and Taylor’s stories respectively, then you just must!)

I highly recommend this book, as well as this whole series.

5/5 stars
