I'm so happy to have had the chance to read this extended preview. It's such a cute, light hearted rom com. The first several chapters really drew me in. Luckily I picked this book for my book of the month box, and am excited to read the rest.

Thank you Netgalley for the extended preview. I think this will be a cute, mindless rom com. It’s a bit unfair for me to rate the book considering the preview is only 50 pages, but at this point it would be 3 stars.

This is such a cute story! I love the characters already just from the preview. I cannot wait to read the whole book and have already purchased it!

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to have a peak inside this book. Can't wait to read the rest.. seems funny with great characters.

This preview was a very fun read. I'm very excited for the book to come out so I can read the rest!

Samiah is powerful, funny, and delightful - as shown in our opening number where she discovers that the guy she's been seeing is the current topic of someone's "worst first date" live tweet thread on Twitter, and marches down to the restaurant to confront the cheating jerk. Another woman shows up having also seen the thread and the 3 ladies ditch the cheater and have a lovely night becoming fast friends.

Jump to the next morning and a video of the throw-down is up on YouTube and has A LOT of views. Work on Monday is a barrage of coworkers pestering her with questions and taking selfies - until she meets the new guy Daniel, who actually asks how she's doing and treats her like more than a viral sensation. But she's sworn off romance, right?

O MY GOODNESS! I can't wait to read the rest of this book.
The first four chapters of this book have me really wanting to find out what is going to happen.
I have met Samiah, she workes for a tech company and has just gone through a very public break up, that was filmed and gone viral. I've also met Daniel, a new hire in the R&D department at her job. But there is something about Daniel that tells me he isn't just a new employee in that department. I am thinking that there is something not right happening at this company and he has been hired to find out who is behind it. He is the only one, at least from what we can tell, who has not seen her video.
Up to this point in the book I am totally drawn in. I can't wait to find out why Daniel is at the company and to find out if Samiah and him become just friends or more than just friends. I love the fact that her pregnant sister, who I believe is a teacher, is the one keeping track of the views of her video.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to have a peak inside this book. Can't wait to read the rest.

Oh, this extended preview has me hooked! I didn't want to stop reading when it ended.

The Boyfriend Project features Samiah, who suddenly finds herself going from prepping for a fifth date to confronting the guy she'd been seeing. She lives in Austin, is close with her pregnant sister, and works for an IT company.

I really like the way Rochon writes dialogue, and how realistic her characters feel. I also feel a budding workplace romance coming on? And love that!

So far, The Boyfriend Project seems fairly feminist with a touch of "girl power" without being over the top or feeling fake - also something I love.

I'm eager to read more!

Based on this preview I am sure I'd love this book. Samiah's struggle with dating and how no one takes a successful woman seriously without a man by their side really hit home, This also seems like it'd be a fun and light read, which during these times is very much needed. The preview left off with her meeting a potential love interest, I can't wait for the book to come out to finish the rest. I'm rating 4 stars because I'd have to finish the book to be sure my initial impression was right.

I feel like if a book’s first chapter mentions both Drake and Fenty Beauty, it’s sure to be a good sign. Well, I definitely wasn’t let down.

I can honestly say that the first few chapters of this book definitely have me intrigued. The unlikely circumstances under which Samiah, London and Taylor met had me giggling like no other and dirty Craig got what he deserved. I only ever found myself tuning out once or twice but that was because I was too busy imagining what dishes would go best with the volcano roll I’m going to be ordering on Uber eats for lunch tomorrow. Daniel’s definitely gotten my attention as well and ending the preview when things just got juicy definitely had me wanting more. Ah, I love a good workplace romance.

All in all, a great first impression. I’m excited to read Samiah’s story and can’t wait to see what comes next!

I rated this preview 3 stars because I enjoyed the premise. But once I read the entire novel I could see my review changing to 4stars. There seemed to be a bit too much background information. Its a preview so maybe thats why the balance seems off. Looking for more interactions between characters. It's a good start so I am still looking forward to this book

Based on the extended preview that I have read, I’m not sure what I think about this book. It seems like it has a lot of potential, and I was curious to learn more about Daniel. However, I was finding myself a little bored while reading it. It might get better though, I’ll have to read the full book to find out!

This book has “THAT COVER” to draw you to the book, but it is the story that keeps you turning the pages.

This moves up the list of must haves. I enjoyed how the author compiles a story where 3 women form a bond after being duped by a dating fiasco.

Don’t just stop at the cover, this treasure has the potential to offer a funny tale with sexiness, romance and touch of mystery.

This preview got me so excited to read the book- really looking forward to this book- strong female lead with great friends makes for a great story!

Loved this book in it's entirety. I was approved for the full eARC. Thank you Read Forever Publising.

I’ve come to learn that I really enjoy a good rom-com with strong willed characters and a little steaminess. In fact, I like the steam factor turned all the way up and I got a little bit of that in this read! Thank you to @readforeverpub and @netgalley for the gifted eARC of The Boyfriend Project by Farrah Rochon, set to be released June 2020!! ✨I loved that Samiyah was in the tech field, and I love her take on representation within her industry. She held true to her goal of setting the right example and paving the way for those to come after her. Another strong black woman character that wasn’t afraid to go out and kill it and maybe even get her some while she’s at it (😏💁🏾‍♀️😎)! With her new girlfriends by herside and possibly even a new love interest, we’re taken on Samiyah’s journey to invest in herself! I would definitely add this book to your TBR!

I have had this book on my TBR for a few months now and am even going to use to for my Pop Sugar challenge. I was excited to see it as a preview on here. After reading the preview, I am looking forward to reading it even more. I think I am going to love Samiah! I also like the social media’s aspect of this book. After reading The Right Swipe and Tweet Cute, I am on the hunt for more social media/romance books.

I was given a free copy of this preview in exchange for my review. (The short version of my review? I NEED MORE. The preview is just a tease, and I MUST know what happens next. Must. Soon. PLEASE. Sooner. Soonest. Please, oh, please!)



The Boyfriend Project opens with Samiah Brooks having her own traumatic event. She confronts her no-good, three (or more!)-timing boyfriend at a restaurant, and video of the incident goes viral. Ouch.



How gorgeous is this cover?





Samiah responds with empathy; she befriends the other "other" women.

She also responds with determination. She's going to focus on herself and her work.



And the very first person to responds to her with compassion? The new hottie at work, Daniel Collins. Everyone else has jokes and advice and questions. But Daniel treats Samiah like a person instead of a news sensation, and that just takes Samiah's breath away.



Well, the compassion and the cuteness.



And that's about where this preview ends. We know that Daniel is on a mission, but we don't know what that is. We know that Samiah has an annoying, troublesome work colleague who is BOUND to create trouble down the line, and we know that Samiah's new friends (the other wronged women) are sure to play a part in this tale.



Oh, and we KNOW WE NEED TO PRE-ORDER THIS BOOK.

I really enjoyed the preview of this book. I thought the characters were very relateable. I look forward to reading the rest of the book to see where the story goes.

This is an EXTENDED PREVIEW omly. I am eagerly awaiting the publication of this new to me author. I never read a book like this.

After a video of Samiah Brook's heroically dumping her THREE-timing boyfriend goes viral, she swears off men for six months to focus on herself. Cue Daniel Collins, the new hot guy at work! Sparks fly as their attraction grows more and more difficult to deny. What Samiah doesn't know is that there's more to Daniel than she realizes. You'll enjoy the front row seat as their friendship grows into something (way) more. This is a fun rom com that highlights strong, independent women of color. Loved it!

Wow! I’m definitely intrigued so far! I’m really enjoying the writing style, and Samiah is a super strong and relatable character, I already love her! I also definitely loved that the three girls didn’t turn on each other at all, but only the jerk stringing them a long. And I can’t wait to get to know Daniel more! My only problem so far was that to me, Samiah figured out it was Craig on the date from twitter way too fast. That or she needs to have a very specific reason for being so suspicious so quickly. Other than that, I loved it and can’t wait to read more!
