The Dating Playbook
by Farrah Rochon
Thank you to the publisher for giving me a free copy of this book! All opinions are my own.
I loved THE BOYFRIEND PROJECT when I read it last year, so I was so excited to read this next installment in the series. This one is all about Taylor, who is a fitness coach. She starts working with a famous professional football player named Jamar who’s hoping to make a comeback after suffering a knee injury. But the twist is that Jamar doesn’t want anyone that he’s trying to make it back to the league, so their cover story is dating, not training together!
You know that I love a fake dating story, so I was all for that. I loved seeing the relationship build between Taylor and Jamar, especially when they stopped being silly and finally admitted that they have feelings for each other! Another thing I love about this series is the friendship between these three women. They originally met because they found out they were all dating the same guy at the same time (yikes!) and I love that that’s how they became friends. They’re so supportive of each other and I admire how they were able to turn such a negative situation into a positive one.
There are a few different topics covered in this book, including disabilities, family dynamics, and grief. There’s also a discussion around the way that athletes push their bodies and the sacrifices that they make, which is something that I’ve been thinking about a bit with the Olympics coming up. I’ll just never know what it’s like to be an athlete at that level and how much hard work and determination it takes.
I will say that I’m not really a huge sports person, so I didn’t find the sports aspect of this story as interesting. But, I enjoyed this book from start to finish, and I think if you are a football fan, or a sports fan in general, you’d enjoy it even more. And now I can’t wait to read London’s book and learn more about her backstory when that comes out next year!
