Adorkable (ah-dor-kuh-bul): Descriptive term meaning to be equal parts dorky and adorable. For reference, see Sally Spitz.
Seventeen-year-old Sally Spitz is done with dating. Or at least, she's done with the horrible blind dates/hookups/sneak attacks her matchmaking bestie, Hooker, sets her up on. There's only so much one geek girl and Gryffindor supporter can take.
Her solution: she needs a fake boyfriend. And fast.
Enter Becks, soccer phenom, all-around hottie, and Sally's best friend practically since birth. When Sally asks Becks to be her F.B.F. (fake boyfriend), Becks is only too happy to be used. He'd do anything for Sal - even if that means giving her PDA lessons in his bedroom, saying she's 'more than pretty,' and expertly kissing her at parties.
The problem: Sally's been in love with Becks all her life - and he's completely clueless.
This book features two best friends, one special edition Yoda snuggie, countless beneath-the-ear kisses, and begs the question:
Who wants a real boyfriend when faking it is so much more fun?
It's amazing how I never tire of fauxmances or friends-to-more stories. Adorkable was just that - adorkable. It was sweet and fun and cute and I smiled a lot. It totally did it's job of making me happy.
I really liked Sally, and totally understood her desire to find a FBF - fake boyfriend, in order to deter her mom and best friend from playing matchmaker. As an aside, the stories of said matchmaking were quite amusing, and her best friend, Hooker, was the best sort of nut. I loved Sally and Becks together, and it was really sweet hearing about their early years. There are going to be times that will make you nuts, and I found myself wanting to get these two to be honest with each other, but I will say, it's worth the wait, because the ending was perfect.
