“I like it when you're not perfect.”

★★★ (3.5 / 5) Gotta love those read-in-a-day books, am I right? This was a fun, easy read with a lot more happening than I expected.

Some of the shallow behavior made me roll my eyes, but hey—that’s high school, I guess. Meanwhile, the fake relationship trope was well done (and I’m a sucker, anyway), and Beck was by far my favorite character. I was surprised how much I could relate to the perfect-family-image issues Gia was dealing with and felt like this was a much, much nicer spin on “Mean Girls.”

Overall, The Fill-In Boyfriend is nothing too special but an enjoyable read, and I’d recommend it.
