The Fill In Boyfriend

The Fill In Boyfriend...

3 1/2 stars (almost 4 stars)

*When Gia Montgomery's boyfriend, Bradley, dumps her in the parking lot of her high school prom, she has to think fast. After all, she'd been telling her friends about him for months now. This was supposed to be the night she proved he existed. So when she sees a cute guy waiting to pick up his sister, she enlists his help. The task is simple: be her fill-in boyfriend—two hours, zero commitment, a few white lies. After that, she can win back the real Bradley.*

Gosh this book was adorable. I haven't stayed up till three in the morning because of reading in so long. I am so going to regret it in the morning though :P

This story started off smack bang in the middle of a scene which instantly made you intrigued. You were able to find out about our main character Gia by the first few sentences and had a great idea of the story within the first chapter.

The story plot line was simple but it was just right. Kasie West knows how to give a simple and over used plot line a new and exciting twist.

Gia was flawed but wanted to be perfect which made you relate to her on so many different levels, Hayden though was perfect but thought he was flawed. (boys *rolls eyes*)

The relationships in this story were engaging and easy to understand. From siblings, friends, enemies and even 'lovers' you learnt more about them and the effect they had on Gia with each new chapter and the connection with Gia and Hayden was real. It didn't feel forced or like insta-love. It wasn't too corny or ironic it was just natural.

I am sure most people would of read this book and thought it wasn't good. (I don't think I will ever be able to find a book that everyone agrees is great) But I really liked it. I was so invested in the story line that I couldn't put it down and read it in 3 1/2 hours. If you are looking for a contemporary that has great characters and just as fantastic writing then be sure to give this one a shot :)

Have a good day/night. I am going to get some much needed sleep.

Happy reading xx
