The Stand-In Boyfriend is the perfect fake relationship / redemption story.
If you've read The Penalty Box, then the name Noah might leave a bitter taste in your mouth. BUT Anna B. Doe gives him another chance to redeem himself but this time it's with Jessy, Evie's best friend.
These two were so much fun to read. Jessy does not give Noah an inch. She's been scorned before and when the lines blur, she doesn't know how to trust Noah.
Noah, bless his heart, gives as good as he gets. I'm so glad he isn't a pushover. After The Penalty Box, I wondered what his character would be like but Jessy drives him nuts enough that he fights back and doesn't let her walk all over him.
This is definitely a must read! Noah and Jessy are one of my favorite couples of 2020!

This was a nice redemption story for Noah, and I definitely love a good fake dating trope. It was a sweet (clean!) novella, and perfect for the YA crowd. Jessy was rough around the edges, but it was completely relatable. Girl had been burned, and Noah hadn't exactly instilled faith in her early on, so it was definitely understandable why she was a bit cold towards him. It gave the novella an enemies to lovers vibe which I definitely appreciated.
Overall it was sweet, quick, and a nice YA read, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an enemies to lovers YA novella.
Thanks to the author for my review copy!
