Her Book Boyfriend by K. R. Grace

Her Book Boyfriend

Goodmorning everyone,

very timely – for the first time – I am here today to speak to you of a great book, which I devoured and loved incommensurably in two days. The book in question was sent by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for a review and is Her Book Boyfriend by K. R. Grace. Book that will soon have a sequel called Her Hollywood Boyfriend.

I would have a million beautiful things to say about this book but there is a mistake though. In many sites where you can buy it and on Netgalley, the genre where the book is placed is the New Adult genre, and even if not entirely wrong, the most accurate genre for this book is Young Adult, because there are any hot scenes and the characters are still, though it is the last year for them, in high school. It can be better to say that it is a middle ground between the Na and the YA. At the end of the book itself, in the list of books written by the author, the genre indicated for this is YA.

I adored this book from the first page, or better, from the gorgeous cover. I totally fit in with the protagonist character, totally forgetting the disappointment I had with The witch’s kiss, which you know I did not like at all. It has a simple and engaging writing. The characters look so alive. It’s a pleasant reading that would be perfect for summer, but it’s okay to read it anytime.

This is their last year in school and the problem that Macey faces is that she doesn’t have a boy for the prom. She does not want to go with Cam, her best friend and singer in a band, because she wants to go with a guy she is in love with. But she has another love, the one for reading, especially romance, so she decides to create a list, re-reading those books, all of the same author, finding the right points to find the perfect guy.

But she fails with most of them because everyone at school believes that she and Cam are together when he has a different girl every day. None of the guys Macey chooses wants to engage with her, but she does not spring, ending up getting a bad, and false, reputation at school. She then asks Cam to schedule a blind date, but everything screw up, because the guy she is supposed to meet with is Cam, and when he says he loves her she thinks it’s just a tease because of her continuous failures.

They don’t talk for a long time, but then everything adjusts for the best and they end up going at the party as a couple.

Love stories are by no means my type, but these stories, like After by Anna Todd, always hypnotize me, and then the book was really minimal, with chapters of the right length. I didn’t get tired of it either.

I also invite you to visit the Shadowhunters.it page because they have planned a blog tour on Lord of Shadows that will begin on September 19th. 22 will be my turn, here on meandbooks, to talk about the three characters, the protagonists of the loving triangle created by Clare that I love most, Kieran, Mark and Cristina.

Mi chiamo Miriam e sono l'amministratore di Me and Books. Ho tante passioni, ma le più grandi sono la lettura e la scrittura, ed ho creato questo blog proprio per poter condividere le mie passioni. Penso che recensire un libro sia una cosa molto importante che richiede tempo e dedizione. A volte un lettore prima di scegliere un libro vuole sapere che quello che sta scegliendo è quello giusto, e le recensioni servono proprio per questo, per aiutare il lettore a scegliere. Ma questo è anche un modo per aiutare autore e case editrici a farsi conoscere. È anche per questo che pubblico gli articoli sia in italiano che in inglese, per non lasciare nessuno fuori. Vi chiedo di non esitare a pormi qualsiasi domanda sul mondo dell'editoria, spero solo di riuscire a fornire la risposta perfetta.
