Crazy, Stupid, Fauxmance by Shellee Roberts

3.0

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review of the book.

I don't hate this book. I don't love it. It's a pretty okay book. You have the usual YA tropes of the rich boy and poor girl. Really, it's a tried and true tale we've all seen the before. Before you assume the worse though, this was a decent book. Even though it was just okay, it was written pretty well.

Mariyel or however you spell her name and Corbet attend an arts high school where they are both dumped on the same day by their partners. This happens right before the fall dance and now they both don't have dates. Omg. The horror. So, the solution is for them to fake date and go to the dance and then move on with their lives. Of course, bring in the trope and you know their feelings are going to get in the way. To discover more about those feelings, you are going to have to read the book because I don't want to spoil everything.

Positive aspects of this book. I loved all the references to old Hollywood movie stars because I knew who all of them were. The reason is because I was raised by my grandma and she grew up during this time. Also, the other reason I loved this book because of her being raised by her grandma and the bond they have. I can also kind of related because I am alps Mexican and grew up less than rich so I know how important it is to work hard for your dreams and do your best. I think these are the reasons this book was able to resound me with the way it did. The rest of it? It was not a horrible story, but it was little.predictable. I'm also a little fed up with stories that are all like stay tuned to see the characters again in another novel. But hey, that's just me.

This was a fast read for me. Anyone who likes a quick read with some romance thrown in will enjoy this book.
