The Boyfriend Listby R.S. NovelleMelissa Cushing's review4 of 5 starsI give The Boyfriend List by R.S. Novelle 4 of 5 STARS! I loved this amazing new adult read and really was drawn in from the beginning. I could NOT put this book down and I loved every minute of it! The author did an amazing job for me at developing her main characters and I found myself in love with each of them. Reagan, Petra, and Ian truly made the story what it was for me. I loved the overall plot of the book and I found that I really had to know what was going to happen next and could not atop reading. This was a fast paced, clean and straightforward read for sure and I found myself backing Ian the entire time. I am not going to go into serious detail about the story itself because you can read the attached synopsis from Goodreads for that, but I will say that you need to read...no make that you HAVE to read this amazingly fun, new adult novel! I hope there is a sequel possibly??? I need more with Ian and Reagan!:)Here is the synopsis for the book from Goodreads:The Boyfriend List follows twenty-year-old Reagan in her quest for the perfect relationship after a somewhat tragic spring break breakup leaves her disillusioned about love... again.Reagan had always prided herself on making levelheaded, practical, analytical decisions about everything. Everything, that is, except where guys are concerned. Which was proven to her, once again, when her “boyfriend” opts to take another girl on their oh-so-romantic trip to his lake house. In order to prevent future heartbreak, she creates a checklist of all the qualities she wants in a man, and vows not to give her heart away again until she can determine if they fit every last criteria.After scouring campus with her two best friends in her tricky journey, her detective work returns a pile of unworthy rejects, and it seems as though her choices are narrowed down to only two options: the hot stranger who’s inspired her new project, and her best guy friend Ian, who she’s always kept at bay due to his perceived playboy reputation.Reagan gets more than she bargained for with her new set of rules, however, and is surprised to find that love, and the perfect boyfriend, may have been within reach the entire time. But will Ian’s reputation ruin his chances to prove his worth? And can Reagan let go of her insecurities long enough to even give him a chance?The Boyfriend List is a light, New Adult romance about friendship, trust, and learning to let go in order to embrace what real love can offer.Check it out for yourself!
