New Release Review: The Boyfriend Project by Farrah Rochon

About the Book:

*Blurb via Goodreads

USA Today bestselling author Farrah Rochon launches a new series about three young women who become friends when the live Tweeting of a disastrous date leads them to discover they've all been duped by the same man. Samiah Brooks never thought she would be "that" girl. But a live tweet of a horrific date just revealed the painful truth: she's been catfished by a three-timing jerk of a boyfriend. Suddenly Samiah-along with his two other "girlfriends," London and Taylor-have gone viral online. Now the three new besties are making a pact to spend the next six months investing in themselves. No men, no dating, and no worrying about their relationship status . . . For once Samiah is putting herself first, and that includes finally developing the app she's always dreamed of creating. Which is the exact moment she meets the deliciously sexy, honey-eyed Daniel Collins at work. What are the chances? When it comes to love, there's no such thing as a coincidence. But is Daniel really boyfriend material or is he maybe just a little too good to be true?

Review:

This story was very easy to get into, though, for me, The Boyfriend Project read more as a fun women's fiction novel and less of a contemporary romance/rom-com. I loved the bond that was formed between the three female characters. They were supportive of each other and had a great dynamic. What was missing for me was a real sparks flying romance. The male protagonist, Daniel, was likable, and a good match for Samiah, but there wasn't enough development in the growth of their relationship to make me completely invest in it. They were flirty and sweet together, I just needed more. Overall, The Boyfriend Project was a refreshing summer read. It's the first book that I've read by Farrah Rochon and I am looking forward to reading the follow-ups in the series!
