Easy Breezy Beach Read (a Little) Enlightening, (a Lot) Entertaining
10:47 AM
(Image from Barnes & Noble)
Gia Montgomery has the perfect boyfriend. For two months, she's been dating Bradley Harris, a great-looking older guy who happens to be a junior at UCLA. Since the two live in different towns, they don't spend a lot of actual time together. Not that it matters—17-year-old Gia is willing to take on a long-distance romance for someone as great as Bradley. Even if her friends are starting to doubt his existence.

From the pastel cover to the frothy plot summary, everything about The Fill-in Boyfriend by Kasie West screams easy breezy beach read. Which is totally accurate. It's a fun, fluffy romance that makes for a light, enjoyable distraction between heavier tomes. Is the novel silly? Yes. Predictable? You bet. Worth the read? Definitely. It's a clean romance with enough substance to be (a little) enlightening and (a lot) entertaining. If you're looking for the perfect beach bag novel, look no further. You've found it.
(Readalikes: Reminds me of Kasie West's other YA romances, including The Distance Between Us and On the Fence)
Grade:
If this were a movie, it would be rated:
for mild sexual innuendo
To the FTC, with love: Another library fine find

I don't know why I wanted something unique from this book but I did. I liked it but was slightly disappointed.
