Review: The Boyfriend List
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 03 14, 2014
The Boyfriend List by Renee Novelle is a book I'd classify as a sweet college age contemporary romance. It was a quick easy read, and I thought it flowed well from the beginning to the end. There were also moments I laughed out loud as I was reading.I think part of what drew me into the story and made it such a fast, yet entertaining read were the characters. I wanted to continue reading to find out what was going to happen next. The day I started the book, I found myself half-way through before I knew it. I guess that's how much I was drawn in. I think Renee did a great job in developing them so they felt like real people. Reagan was the main female lead, and I liked her from the beginning of the book.When I read about what had happened to her in her relationship, I thought her reaction was interesting – the titular “boyfriend list” she made listing qualities she was looking for in a boyfriend. I also liked her roommate Petra, who was there as a source of encouragement, not to mention she was there when Reagan needed her the most over the course of the book. She was entertaining in her own right, and I definitely liked her. As for Ian, I grew to like him more and more as I continued to read the story. There were times when he could be funny,  and I found myself cheering for him a little bit as the story progressed. I'll also state I had a smile on my face at the end of the book.Overall, I definitely enjoyed The Boyfriend List. Entertaining, and a fast read. I recommend it to anyone who likes college age romance and contemporary romance. My rating is 4/5 stars.
