Thanks to Avon and NetGalley for an advanced copy of The Build-a-Boyfriend Project by Mason Deaver to review! This is Deaver’s first foray into adult romance from the young adult world, and I’d have to say it was a success! As a Spider-Man fan, I especially appreciated some of the nods to Spider-Man throughout, and also the references to various movies in the chapter titles. It made the whole reading experience fun!

Deaver excels at writing characters; it’s something I’ve always enjoyed about their YA books. Their character work is on full display here. As we learn more about Peter through Eli’s eyes, you also can’t help but fall for his slightly awkward demeanor. Eli and Peter have great chemistry, which just makes the entire book a fun read.

This sort of reminded me of that Christmas movie that came out a few years ago on Netflix, Love Hard. Not quite the same premise, but it’s got that journalism/dating angle. If you want something fun to round out your summer reading, definitely check this one out!
