You may say “BUT BENNETT,” and I say, move over used-to-be-Edward-Cullen* and I’ll read you that hand job scene at the party in the first part of Beautiful Player.
You may say “FINN WEARS CARHARTT IN DIRTY ROWDY THING” and I’ll remind you that Will Sumner is the guy who responded,
“Just so you know, keeping my hands to myself would be impossible right now”
after Hanna made it clear he didn’t “have to” give in return.
You may mention one of the many men Christina Lauren has invented with an accent, and I will tell you that yes, an accent obviously makes may clothes fall off the second I hear one, but IT IS STILL NO COMPARISON TO WILL SUMNER.
You may even remind me Sara and Max DOING it in PUBLIC in Beautiful Stranger.
and I will tell you that WILL SUMNER IS YOUR HIGH SCHOOL FANTASY COME TO LIFE.
That older guy whose locker was 4 down from yours you started at daily until the sad day he graduated? Your older brother’s best friend? The one you thought about the first time you discovered the power of a shower head. THAT IS WILL.
I rest my case.
Will Sumner is the best.

Inserts embarrassing photo of Me kissing Will Sumner that I found when Googling pics of this book.

That means that it’s totally normal for us to have thought that this promo tweet was tiny Will sitting on big Will’s lap:

What’s the big deal about Beautiful Player?
When Hanna Bergstrom receives a lecture from her overprotective brother about neglecting her social life and burying herself in grad school, she’s determined to tackle his implied assignment: get out, make friends, start dating. And who better to turn her into the sultry siren every man wants than her brother’s gorgeous best friend, Will Sumner, venture capitalist and unapologetic playboy?
Will takes risks for a living, but he’s skeptical about this challenge of Hanna’s…until the wild night his innocently seductive pupil tempts him into bed- and teaches him a thing or two about being with a woman he can’t forget. Now that Hanna’s discovered the power of her own sex appeal, it’s up to Will to prove he’s the only man she’ll ever need.
