Then comes the bet.
If she can’t land a boyfriend for prom by recreating the ten popular tropes in her favorite romance author’s books, she has to go to the prom with her.
The glitch?
They’ve been close their entire lives. He’s the rock god and school legend, while she’s the brainy sidekick who does all his dirty breakups. Thus, finding a guy who doesn’t think they’re already an item is going to be a lot harder than she thinks.
Will she land the book boyfriend of her dreams? Or will she be forced to go to prom with her best friend.
The truth is in the pages.
I made the mistake of reading some reviews on Goodreads. I've seen criticism of both lead characters, but the good news is that I didn't seem to have the same problems with the book that others had.
Her Book Boyfriend is about a girl named Macey who is a book-loving, studious type of girl. Her best friend, Cam is in a popular teen band and often uses Macey to break up with his latest girl of the week. Macey's never been in love and desperately doesn't want to graduate high school without experiencing a relationship of her own.
Macey makes a list of the plots from her favorite books. Altogether, she ends up with a rather spectacular list of favorite romance tropes. She begins to target boys to test out her plots on. It's often awkward and cringe-worthy, but it pokes a little fun at the romance world while moving Macey closer to her ultimate goal.
As Macey moves through her list, it becomes obvious that something is troubling Cam. At first, it seems like Cam just has some family drama that is weighing him down, but you soon realize that he is not as excited about Macey's list as she is.
Macey's path to romance in rocky and filled with pitfalls. People get hurt and bad decisions are made, but in the end, she succumbs to my favorite trope. And I'll let you read the book and see which one that is.
