BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Rafe Turner has a tattoo running from his wrist to his shoulder. His hair is a little too long. He doesn’t need to rebel, because owning his life is already in his blood. He’s way out of her league, for sure, but when Lily Gardner accidentally face plants through the window of his band’s practice room, a connection is formed between Rafe and Lily that can’t be shaken. When Rafe invites her to jam with his band, Lily knows the mega-talented drummer is exactly what she needs to fix her life. The fact that Rafe already has a girlfriend? No problem. It’ll be enough if people simply think she’s dating him…won’t it? Lily is about to discover that finding her passion is a whole lot more complicated than a fake boyfriend…or two.

REVIEW:
I really enjoyed this young adult book. I love how this book pulled me back to my high school years (which was a VERY long time ago). It was fun for me to read how one young girl deals with the stress her parents put on her to be the best. The pressure she feels from her instructors to be the best. The pressure of not fitting in with her life long friends, boys and will just about everyone around her.
Lily is a great character. She is a typical teenage girl. Just wanting to fit in, but fitting in is has not been easy for Lily. Her friends think of her as a geek. Boy’s think she is weird. Her parents just don’t understand. But Lily is a very strong, capable, determined girl. When Lily finds herself in a web of lies she has spun herself she finds out who her real friends are. But only after getting her heart broke.
Rafe has been dealt a bad hand, his parents are divorcing, he is living with his aunt and he is having issues with his girlfriend. The only bright spot in his life is that his aunt is allowing him to have band practice at her house. Without music Rafe would have nothing.
Reading about Lily and Rafe really took me back.. I loved to watch young love bloom on the pages of The Fake Boyfriend Experiment.
Ooo this sounds nice, thank you 🙂
