Unrequited Love by Jacqueline Lee

Unrequited crushes suck. A fact Benji is all too familiar with, having spent his life madly, desperately, head-over-hells in love with an unobtainable girl. Eva’s family own the beach house next to his and growing up he spent every summer with her. Unfortunately, Eva has never seen him as anything more than a friend. Surely, even the Greek tragedy writers would agree that twenty-five years of suffering is enough?
So when he discovers that Eva is coming home from London for a summer Christmas, Benji vows not to be sucked further into the vortex of hopeless love.
Eva can’t wait to come home to New Zealand for Christmas. Especially as it is a chance to reconnect with Benji, her oldest friend in the world. For some reason, Benji’s withdrawn from her over the last few years and she’s determined to get their friendship back on track.
But when re-establishing their friendship quickly turns to friends with benefits, suddenly Eva is seeing Benji in a completely new light. Her life is in London, so why is it beginning to feel like her heart and future is in New Zealand with Benji?
