Thank you to Libro.fm, Forever Publishing / Hachette for gifting me a review audio copy of The Boyfriend Project by Farrah Rochon. This book just came out, and you're gonna wanna grab yourself a copy!

Not only is this a sexy, feel-good read but it also talks about racial prejudices, friendship, and self-worth.

After a live-tweeted date debacle, our leading lady Samiah Brooks meets and befriends two other women, Taylor and London, and the three of them form a #squadgoals pact to put their own dreams first and not let men or dating interfere.

Of course, it’s not going to be all smooth sailing. Samiah meets the oh-so-hot Daniel Collins at work and their chemistry is pretty undeniable. I won’t ruin all the twists and turns, and subterfuge that you’re going to want to read for yourself, but I will say this book was an absolute joy. The characters were wonderful, the dialogue was witty and often hilarious, and there are some strong supporting characters too, in Taylor and London (who I believe are going to get their own books...insert squeal of delight here).

The narration of the audiobook is also fantastic, thanks to Je Nie Fleming. You can grab the audiobook here, or get a physical copy by clicking the button below.

Synopsis:

USA Today bestselling author Farrah Rochon launches a new series about three young women who become friends when the live Tweeting of a disastrous date leads them to discover they've all been duped by the same man.

Samiah Brooks never thought she would be "that" girl. But a live tweet of a horrific date just revealed the painful truth: she's been catfished by a three-timing jerk of a boyfriend. Suddenly Samiah-along with his two other "girlfriends," London and Taylor-have gone viral online. Now the three new besties are making a pact to spend the next six months investing in themselves. No men, no dating, and no worrying about their relationship status . . .

For once Samiah is putting herself first, and that includes finally developing the app she's always dreamed of creating. Which is the exact moment she meets the deliciously sexy, honey-eyed Daniel Collins at work. What are the chances? When it comes to love, there's no such thing as a coincidence. But is Daniel really boyfriend material or is he maybe just a little too good to be true?
