Crazy, Stupid, Fauxmance by Shellee Roberts
4.0
This was a fun and sweet wee young adult read.
As we all know, when we were in school, rumours, breakups and relationships could make or break someone. They often caused weeks, if not months, of pain or annoyance, with regards to the other kids at school. Our main characters decide to try a fake relationship to get rid of both the problems and soon they see that it isn't as easy or cut and dry as they thought it would be.
Both of the characters are developed well. They have very different personalities and are in different cliques at school. Effectively, the last two people you'd think to see together. I liked that the fake gig actually helped the two of them learn and grow, as well as see that people aren't always what their stereotypes make them out to be.
The pace was really good. Throughout, the story kept moving, which kept it both exciting and entertaining. It had the real feel of school and young relationships, which made the story more believable and easier to relate to.
Overall, I think is was a great read and I believe a lot of YA readers will really enjoy it. I look forward to seeing where it goes next.
**I received this book for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.
