The Boyfriend Project by Farrah Rochon

3.0

---

- My main problem with this book is that so many moments between the main characters where they are getting to know each other and start flirting and liking each other happen off page and I was so frustrated! I'm reading a romance book, I obviously want to see them fall in love, I don't want to be told that they fell in love in all this little moments that I didn't get to read about. Also, the fact that he lied to her for almost 90% of this book doesn't sit well with me.

- I really liked the main character, Samiah. Her relationship with the two women that she meets at the start of the book when they all find out they were dating the same guy without knowing it, is the highlight of the book. Their support for one another and their unconditional friendship are things I really enjoy reading about. Also, the first 10% of this book when they all find out the truth was hilarious and maybe my favorite part of this book.

- another good thing about this book is the way it addresses the hardships that Black women face in STEM
