Review: Her Book Boyfriend

Her Book Boyfriend by K.R. Grace
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Thank you, Netgalley, for an advanced e-book copy of this story! All opinions are still my own and are not influenced in any way.

Her Book Boyfriend by K.R. Grace is about an overachiever in school named Macey Greere who realizes she's never dated. To find herself a date to the upcoming prom, she's developed a list of tropes that book characters do to get themselves a boyfriend. If she doesn't get someone by the time prom rolls around, she'll end up going with her best friend, Cam.

This book was initially very slow, but once I got a feel for all the characters, I really enjoyed it. It's a very light, fluffy read. It's much along the lines of I Believe in a Thing Called Love, but unique in its own ways too. It's fun having a main character with a fascination for books. You didn't get to see how much she really loved books, though. She mentioned them maybe three times. You'd think that'd be mentioned more since that's the main idea of creating the list.

Cam was a total sweetheart, and he was probably my favorite character. At first he comes across as just this guy who sleeps around with no qualms and gets his best friend to do his dirty breakups so he doesn't have to deal with them. Basically, he sounds like a total jerk. But the further you get along in the book, the more you end up rooting for him.

I do have issues about how naive Macey is, but I can't get into too much detail because that would spoil the book!

Definitely pick it up if you want a fun, light read.
