Great second book to continue this story. A bit steamy but hits well with this Oklahoma girl. Also liked the perspective for learning disorders.
Super cute- loved the sports/fitness aspect. I love this series! Can't wait for book 3.
Rating: 4/5 stars
I genuinely enjoyed this book. I was a fan of Rochon's first novel in The Boyfriend Project series, but I think I actually liked this book a little more. There was nothing wrong with the first book, however, I really did enjoy the characters of Taylor and Jamar in a way I don't know that I enjoyed Samiah and Daniel
I think I especially really like their relationship and how it progressed. We always have to suspend disbelief when we're dealing with fiction, of course. Especially, romance novels, because of the standard beats and tropes that we can find in them. This book has those, but I really liked how they were executed.
I can't speak up on the representation in this book for people with learning disabilities as I do not have one. I think I would have liked to have had just a bit more about it, but, again, I cannot speak for that community.
I appreciated the maturity and originality of how are two main characters really come together and build a relationship.
Highly recommend. Will definitely be picking up the third and last book, I believe, and this series when it comes out in summer 2022.

This was just the cutest thing ever! I found myself smiling from ear to ear by the end so I knew that the author won me over with this romance.
THE DATING PLAYBOOK by Farrah Rochon is a smart contemporary fake dating sports romance that blurs the line between work and play.
WHAT WORKED:
- Strong female friendships
- Representation- Black, adult learning disability, grief
- Real and relatable characters with depth.
- Readability: It was quick paced and kept me engaged enough to keep flying through the pages.
WHAT DIDN’T
- It is sports/fitness/nutrition heavy, which isn't really my thing. Some of the nutrition elements felt heavy handed.
- The tension and chemistry between Taylor and Jamar didn't align well for me. Something was just off.
So- I didn’t love it and I didn’t hate it. Still- I am eagerly awaiting London's book/3rd in the series.
Thanks to NetGalley and Forever publishing for the free early copy.
