Grumpy Fake Boyfriend by Jackie Lau is 99c at most vendors and $2.99 at Barnes & Noble! Sarah and I wrote a joint review of this one and decided on a B-:
Amanda: There were some missteps for me, like the huge focus on finding love over a weekend getaway from everything, but I know I’ll be reading the next book by Lau. Her characters won me over.
Sarah: I absolutely agree with that – I’ll definitely read Lau’s next book. Her characters, especially their confidence and conversations, won me over, too.

Before I talk about the book, I want to issue all the trigger warnings. Alex Craft … Continue reading The Female of the Species by Mindy McGinnis
