The Boyfriend Project by Farrah Rochon
4.0
This was such an enjoyable read! As I mentioned, I am so here for a romance book with representation (both of the main characters are people of color). I really loved the way that the author tackled topics such as the importance of female friendship and the difficulties of being a woman, and specifically a woman of color, in the tech industry.

I thought Samiah was awesome, so smart and accomplished, and I loved the way that she wanted to use her position to do good for others. She talked about the pressure of wanting to set a good example and represent well for all the little Black girls that might want to follow in her footsteps, and I could relate to that feeling. I also loved the way she explored careers and how it's possible to choose a path that's right for you, even if it's outside of family's or society's expectations.

This had some steam, but not a ton, for those who don't like steam (for me personally, I could have dialed up the steam)! And a Bookstagram friend mentioned that this had a realistic ending- I totally agree with that assessment and I thought it was refreshing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I really enjoyed the plot of this one as well (there's a lot more to it than the synopsis lets on). I will say that the romance was secondary for me- I think the other themes it explored were more interesting. If you like books with diverse leads and reading about female friendships, then I'd definitely recommend that you give this rom-com a try!
