The Fill-In Boyfriend

by Kasie West

When Gia Montgomery's boyfriend, Bradley, dumps her in the parking lot of her high school prom, she decides to do the unthinkable...convince the cute guy waiting to pick up his sister to pretend to be her boyfriend for the night. The task is simple: two hours, zero commitment, a few white lies. The problem is that days after prom, she can't stop thinking about her fill-in boyfriend. But can Gia turn her fake boyfriend into a real one without exposing her lie and possibly destroying her friendships and her newfound relationship? Smartly observed and wonderfully romantic, Kasie West's talent shines in this tale of one girl's unexpected quest to find love...and possibly herself.

Katie West never fails to make me happy.

Her books are always filled with the right amount of happiness, tears, angst, and swoon.

This book is about Gia, who gets dumped in the parking lot on her way to prom. She cannot show up with our her boyfriend, so she finds a fill-in boyfriend, Hayden. This is the beginning of Gia's metamorphosis.

"So the whole lying thing? That was part of being a better person?"
"No, that's what started the journey."

It was a journey of self discovery, self awareness, and an awareness of others. Sometimes Gia's journey was hard to watch, but in the end, I was so happy with what she had become.

Gia and Hayden were adorable together, and I could not help but fall in love with Hayden and his family. They were quirky, interesting, loving, and fabulous.

Another great KWest rom-com.
