The Fill-In Boyfriend

Ugh, I should have listened to the reviews.

But alas, my curiosity and love for fake-dating stories got the best of me.

And I felt that Gia become obsessed with Hayden, Fill-In Bradley's real name, way too early. Like within the first couple of pages early.

It's just boring and filled with dialogue and some of it dragged out. I began to skim through because I wanted to see where this story would go and when all of Gia's lies would come out. It was kind of anti-climatic. And so was the ending. Incomplete and unsatisfying. And I felt like Gia didn't realize her mistakes ‘til late. And the Real Bradley was like 21-years-old dating a girl in high school. Ew.

One good thing I can say about Gia was that at least she tried to get along with her frenemy, Jules. She was the bigger person and tried to makes things work.

I'm a sucker for the whole popular-girls-becoming-humble trope also, but this was not it.
