After being let down again by Fletcher, Saidy enters him in to the World's Worst Boyfriend competition and he wins! but everything is not as it seems, so what will happen when the esecrets are uncovered! A great read which keeps you guessing to see what happens next.
Oh how I love Carina’s writing. This was an adorable rom com that had me giggling and swooning. Their meet cute was fantastic! The storyline was a lot of fun. I love all the predicaments (with Fletcher being an undercover cop) Saidy & Fletcher found themselves in. Read it in one sitting!
Thanks to Netgalley and the author for sending me a copy. All opinions expressed are my own.
This sweet romance-adventure story centers around Saidy, an interior designer, and her boyfriend of four months, Fletcher, an IT professional. Saidy enters a contest for having the world's worst boyfriend after Fletcher keeps standing her up for dates, goes to sleep when they're together, and keeps dropping off muddy, dirty laundry at her house. Her friend Zoe urges her to break up with him, but little does Saidy know that Fletcher is actually an undercover cop working on a big sting operation and pulling many all-night surveillances. The adventure begins when Saidy meets the criminal that Fletcher is investigating and agrees to a date with him. The story is told from the alternating viewpoints of Saidy and Fletcher, so the reader knows well before Saidy does that Fletcher is not what Saidy thinks he is. As the action heats up, Saidy must also come to grips with her interfering grandmother and her increasingly one-sided friendship with Zoe. She soon realizes that appearances are deceiving, and that perhaps Fletcher is not the one she needs to kick out of her life. The story is light-hearted, humorous, and entertaining and the characters are engaging. The outcome may not be a surprise to readers, but the book is a fun read with some serious points about trusting your instincts and not letting other people's expectations dictate your actions and decisions. This is an enjoyable light read.
Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Saidy and Fletcher have been dating for a few months but slowly Fletcher has become more and more distant. He forgets about their dates. He doesn't make time for Saidy. He is constantly getting called off to work and then doesn't answer her calls or text. He even drops his laundry off for her to wash for him. In short, he's not a good boyfriend. So much so that when Saidy hears of a World's Worst Boyfriend contest on a local podcast she listens to, she enters Fletcher. But things aren't always as they seem. In fact, Fletcher has been keeping some really big secrets that just might explain his behavior -- but does it justify all of his crummy boyfriend antics....even the laundry?
This was the first book I have ready by Carina Taylor and I really liked her writing style. This book alternated between Saidy and Fletcher's POVs and I always enjoy when authors do that. You get to experience so much more when you can see both sides of what is happening. The characters were witty and funny and Saidy was such a spitfire. I enjoyed her family and even her crazy "glammy".
What kept me from giving this book a higher rating was it was hard to really connect with the characters or the story early on into the book. I don't know if it is the fact that the book starts with them being on the "outs" so you don't get to see them as a happy couple first, or if it was just how it was written but it took me a while to really connect with the characters and get invested in the story. The second half of this book really picked up for me though. Once things kind of picked up and the story really intensified I got sucked in and had to know what was going to happen. I definitely look forward to reading more from Carina Taylor.

I liked that this one had a little bit of action and I loved the relationship between the main characters.
World’s Worst Boyfriend is a reminder not everyone or everything’s as it seems. Saidy is strong, independent which is refreshing to see. She’s not dependent upon Fletcher (said worst boyfriend) for her happiness or to survive. Reading her as a developed character who also cut ties with toxic friends.
This was a charming & funny read! I thought Saidy & Fletcher had great chemistry & enjoyed seeing both perspectives on their relationship. I really enjoyed reading this & will have to find more books from the author to read.
Thank you Net Galley for the ARC! Netgalley provided me with ARC for ‘World's Worst Boyfriend’ in return for an honest review.
Saidy has been dating Fletcher for four months, but he isn't quite boyfriend material. He may actually be the ‘worst boyfriend in the world’ material. He is neglectful, clueless, and works too much on his IT business.
Saidy decides she is sick of him blowing her off and wants to prove that she deserves better by entering him into ‘The Worlds Worst Boyfriend’ contest held by her favorite Podcast. Little does she know that he has plenty of reasons why he is not quite hitting her standards: he is not only an undercover cop but Saidy unknowingly infiltrated herself into the case he is working on. Can he make his way through this case while still saving their relationship?
This is the first Carina Taylor book for me and it didn’t disappoint. I thought she executed the character's chemistry and quick-witted banter perfectly. I was surprised how many times I found myself laughing out loud! However, I did find that the writing fell a little flat for me at times. Although I enjoyed the plot and the personality of the characters, I had a hard time seeing past the writing style. I found there to be quite a few redundant explanations of what the characters were doing or thinking, especially within the first few chapters.
All that to say, I still thoroughly enjoyed this story and was itching to get back to it whenever I had to set it down. Surprisingly, I found myself rooting for Fletcher and enjoying his story, even more so than Saidy’s or their love story. I think this plotline could have the potential for a series about Fletcher’s detective work.
I look forward to reading more of Carina’s books in the future.
