Guy's Girl

by Emma Noyes

AN UNFORGETTABLE NEW LOVE STORY THAT WILL MAKE YOU CRY, BREAK YOUR HEART, AND PIECE IT BACK TOGETHER

----


The boy who couldn't love and the girl who wouldn't.



Ginny Murphy is a total guy's girl. She's always found friendships with boys easier to form and keep drama-free - as long as they don't fall for her, and she doesn't fall for them. She and her best guy friends have stuck to that. But then she meets Adrian Silvas, the only one who's ever made her crave more, and Ginny begins to question her own rules.


Piece by piece, Ginny and Adrian begin to fall into something intoxicating, something dangerous. Ginny threatens to destroy the belief Adrian's held ever since witnessing his own mother's heartbreak: that love isn't worth the risk. For Ginny, the stakes could be even higher. Letting Adrian get close could mean exposing a secret she's long protected: her disordered eating.


Ginny isn't looking to be saved by someone. But maybe she and Adrian can help each other - if they don't destroy each other first.


Heartfelt and evocative, Guy's Girl is a powerful story about true love, self-love, and growing up.

Book Summary:

Ginna Murphy is what you might call a guy's girl. That is to say, she's more "one of the guys" than anything else. And she's totally fine with it. In fact, she loves it. She just has one rule, and it's very simple: She doesn't fall for her guy friends; in return, they're not allowed to fall for her.
Simple, right?

We all know what's going to happen next. Ginna meets a new friend, Adrian Silvas. At first, it is easy to keep this rule with him. But the more she gets to know him, the harder it is to keep her promises...

My Review:

So we've seen hundreds (if not thousands) of variations of "she's just one of the guys." That said, I think Guy's Girl has got to be one of the more delightful and fun versions I've seen. It's funny, it's cute, and it has great characters.

And really, isn't that enough? But really, what made me love Guy's Girl is that it is so real and relatable. The characters feel like real people you could meet on the streets; their predicament is likewise very ground. Fun, but grounded.

Guy's Girl takes a bit of time to get off the ground. This makes sense. We need time to get to know Ginna, her friendship policies, and everything that makes her, well, her! But once Adrian hits the scene, it feels like things start moving more rapidly.

Guy's Girl is the perfect fun and compelling friends-to-lover book. So go read it!
