A review by emileereadsbooks
Once Upon a Boy Band by Jenny Proctor

emotional funny medium-paced

5.0

Jenny Proctor is a top tier author and I will continue to read everything she writes. One thing I love about her is she is nuanced. She treats the reader like they are smart. Not spoon feeding or babysitting the reader, rather letting the reader come to realize what is happening all on their own. I especially think she is skilled at weaving in Easter eggs from her other books without giving you a paragraph of explanation like some other authors I have read. 

Now to this story in particular. Jenny Proctor is an all star at grounded celebrity romance. You don't feel thrown into a fake ritzy world, it all feels so human. 

I adore Laney and Adam. Their awkward pre jitters that dissipate when they actually spend time together are so perfect. The way they handle each reveal of their pasts to one another is done with compassion and grace. I loved how tender they are with the truths that are presented to them. That's how a real relationship should be! 

This book deals with some heavier topics, but all done with compassion and all serve the story and the romance. 

Jenny Proctor is a must read. Trust me! 

Thanks to the author for the gifted title. All opinions are my own.
