I was excited to read this preview on netgalley. I cannot wait to read the full book! Thanks to netgalley for the opportunity.
I enjoyed this preview and I look forward to reading the full book.
Thank you for the opportunity to read this preview!
I loved this preview and i'll be buying the book because I need more, I need to know the whole story and love the characters.
YES, PLEASE! This immediately went on my TBR after my best friend read and reviewed the ARC. After having a small taste of it myself, I've immediately preordered this beauty and am so excited to read the rest of what is going to be a fantastically fun ride!
I’m so happy I was approved for this preview & cant wait to read the rest of the book! The first few pages make me want to see where the rest of the story is going to go!
I am so happy that I decided to check out the extended preview for this book. If the first 50 pages are any indication, this is going to be a wild ride of a story.
It's hard to have a feel for who these characters will end up being by the end of the book, but Samiah is off to a particularly strong start. She's facing a catfisher with determination and pride, bonding with her fellow women instead of competing with them, and handling nosey co-workers with grace. In so many ways, she is the woman I aspire to be. She has a hardline list of goals that might be hindering as much as helping her, but who hasn't been there? And besides, I'm getting the feeling that might be the point. I hope that we see her relationship with her sister and newly found girlfriends explored as much as her relationship with Daniel in the rest of the book.
Now for our dear Daniel. I'm honestly not sure what to make of him. He comes off a little too slick in our first interactions, but we only have two scenes with him in this preview. There is a lot of room for him to get fleshed out, and I'm looking forward to it, because honestly, if he ends up building on his current behavior it will sink the whole book.
I'm not going to write a full review having only read 15% of the book. I have pre-ordered a copy and look forward to finding out what happens in June!
Thank you to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for making this extended preview available!
This one seems to be a funny light hearted book with an emphasis on female friendship (even though they bond over being catfished by the same guy- I'll be interested to know if it passes the Bedchel Test) and a cute little rom com. Will definitely check it out. And extra points for diverse leads!
This book starts off with a bank and has you rooting for the main character right off the bat. What I could tell from this preview is that this book is going to be a barrel of laughs along with a good helping of soul searching, personal growth, and yes ROMANCE.
I look forward to getting my hands on the whole book.
This voluntary review is based on an extended preview galley from #NetGalley.
I am so in love with just this preview and plan on reading this novel. I loved the strong friendships created and the realistic qualities of the way things truly are. I am so excited about this story and can’t wait to read the full novel.
I received the preview of this book (first four chapters) and I really enjoyed it! I will say that the beginning of the book is a bit slow for me, however I loved the friendship that formed between the girls who were screwed over by Craig. I'm excited to see how Taylor and London will have a role in Samiah's life. I like Daniel's character but he hasn't made that much of an impression on me yet. It was a little bit convenient that no one but Daniel had Samiah's back when the video was going around, but I was in the mood for something light and cute and this was definitely it.
The Boyfriend Progect is a romantic comedy set in Austin, Texas. The lead character, Samiah is successful in all areas of her life except finding love. The book opens with the Samiah preparing for a date while her sister narrates a person live tweeting a bad date on Twitter. As the story unfolds it becomes clear to Samiah that her boyfriend is two timing her and she sets out to ambush his date.
This is a fun read. The pacing is fast and this is an easy read. I love the instant camaraderie London, Taylor and Samiah form in response to cheating Craig. It is refreshing to see them unit against him versus fight over him.
The first half of what I read was very conversational. Like sitting in on a chat with girlfriends. An example would be the scene after London, Taylor and Samiah confront Craig on his cheating and lying. The second half describes Samiahs work place. The writing appears different here. Very descriptive. Enjoyed sections about her workplace, colleagues and her role in this section. An awkward moment in the writing occurs when Samiah meets Daniel. Not sure if this was because it was an excerpt but the conversation on first meeting between Daniel and Samiah odd for a first meeting. Not sure why they would discuss her video, somethings she is embarrassed about especially at work.
This book is compared to books by Jasmine Guillory. Though what I’ve read is enjoyable, I’ll need to read more to see if this is the case.
I received a small portion of this book to review and from what I’ve read I enjoyed it. I just got approved to read the entire book and I can’t wait.
just look at the cover!!!!!!
i knew i had to read this book it was everything that i needed i couldn't stop reading it .this was the first novel i ever read by farrah rochon and it had two strong ,compassionate lovers there love was beyond this world.
my favorite part of this novel was at beginning like omg the girl samiah brooks discovers the man she's with is dating another two women.the relationship between samiah,Taylor and London i loved so much but they had a lot of thing they all had to keep dealing with throughout the book by this one man Daniel. guess he turned out to be too good to be true you guys have to read it for yourself you will not regret it because i didn't at all.
The first part of this preview felt a bit slow moving and a little overly descriptive at times to me, but by the end of it when she quite literally runs into the hero and they meet/chat, I wanted to know more!
I also love that a friendship is forming between the women who were all deceived by Craig (if that is in fact, his name), so I’m very interested in seeing those relationships grow.
From this snippet alone, I would rate it between 3-4 stars, but I’m excited that I now also have the entire ARC, so I look forward to seeing the characters and story develop!
Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy of the first few chapters of this book!
The first few chapters of The Boyfriend Project were pretty cute. The characters are fun and I liked them enough to want to keep reading. I was especially intrigued by the character of Daniel. I don’t know enough to be able to predict the major conflict in this story, so I will have to finish reading the novel in order to write a full review. Looking forward to reading the rest of this book!
An exciting read about revenge after one man tries to dupe and take advantage of several women.
I would recommend this book.
Thanks to the publisher and Net Galley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review
Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of the first few chapters of this book.
For some reason the first few chapters didn’t pull me into this book. It was cute, and on paper this seemed like a book I would love, but I think I’d have to read the rest of the novel to make a better review. I look forward to reading the whole book.
The three women Samiah, London, and Taylor connected by a live tweet with a boyfriend. This preview of the story was exciting. I really enjoyed this. The digital age story about strong female relationships got me going to Amazon to pre-order this book. This story is the struggle for black women in the workplace and how buns can be stronger. I love the romance and the humor from the characters. This story is about following your dreams and doing what you have to do. The characters were lovable, funny, and relatable. I know it was just a preview but I just couldn't put the book down. I recommend this to romance readers. I give this preview 5-stars.
I adored The Boyfriend Project Extended Preview. After finishing it, I immediately selected it as my Book of the Month selection. I liked the characters. I’m looking forward to seeing how the story develops. Thanks Forever ( Grand Central Publishing) and NetGalley for the preview of this title.
From page one, the quick wit of tremendously strong characters, hit like lightening.
I had whiplash at how quickly Ms. Rochon's pulled me into her book.
The camaraderie of the three women Samiah, Taylor, and London starts with all three learning by way of social media, they are dating the same man. Like the strong women they are, they ban together instead of pit against one another and walk away from the cheater who can't stop coming up with excuses as to why he's not at fault.
Is their journey together and individually easy? Of course not. None of the great relationships are, but her storytelling is real and wicked smart.
I could easily see me knowing or being one of these ladies at some point in my life as well as the many secondary characters as she beautifully highlights many of Austin's (one of my favorite cities) hangouts and classic landmarks.
If you don't get whiplash, you'll for sure have a book hangover so fire up the coffee, because it's gonna be a late night.
Had a blast reading Ms. Rochon's book and can't wait to read the next amazing release.
Congrats on a fun, fabulous read. :)
