Never Have I Ever Faked a Boyfriend by Juliet Bardsley
My rating: 3 of 5 stars.
Their relationship was supposed to be pretend…
Eric Emerson’s last year at Cedar Oaks High couldn’t be better — he’s one of the most popular guys in the senior class, is holding solid A’s across the board, and has a gorgeous girlfriend. It couldn’t be better, that is, until his girlfriend breaks up with him for a college guy.
Bri Songs loves living under the radar: she’s not exactly popular, would rather teach yoga than attend the usual teenage functions, and is perfectly content with being a senior who’s never had a real kiss. She tells herself that, at least. But with her sister’s wedding right around the corner, Bri’s mom is incessantly nagging her to bring a date.
After a chance encounter after school, Eric and Bri come up with a plan to make both their lives better — Eric will escort Bri to her sister’s wedding, and Bri will help Eric win back his ex. All they have to do is pretend to date. Win-win, right?But as their plan begins to work, the line between fiction and reality gets blurred.
Never Have I Ever Faked a Boyfriend
What happens when fake feelings suddenly turn real?
Sweet high school quick read.
There was nothing original about this fake dating story but it was a clean and quick little YA story about two high school seniors who decide to fake date foe specific reasons. Eric, the popular boy who gets dumped by he on-again off-again girlfriend wants to make her jealous and get her back. Bri is a studious girl and Yoga instructor who has to attend her sisters wedding and wants to get her Mother and Friend off her back about bringing a date.
They agree to fake date, but find they have a lot in common and really like each other. Eric notices how Bri is naturally beautiful while his ex girlfriend would cake on her makeup, how Bri’s voice is soft and gentle while his ex’s was high and annoying at times. How Bri is polite to his mother while his Ex was snapping at her. Bri, likes how Eric compliments her and how she feels when she is with him.
