The Girlfriend Request by Jodie Andrefski
Genre: YA Contemporary Romance / Romantic Comedy
Publication: January 11th, 2016
Emma has been best friends with Eli since she moved to his neighborhood ten years ago. Tired of being cast in the role of the girl next door, Emma creates a fake Facebook profile in the hopes of starting an online friendship with Eli, which would hopefully lead to more. Like...way more. From friend request to In a Relationship--it all seemed so completely logical when she'd planned it.
Eli can't figure out what Emma is up to. He’s pretty sure she's the one behind the Facebook profile, but then again, why would she do something so drastic instead of just admitting she wants to be more than friends? And who the heck is this new guy he saw her with? Eli starts to think that just maybe...he missed his chance with the girl next door.
Two best friends, one outlandish ruse. Their status is about to become way more than It’s Complicated…
This Entangled Teen Crush book contains one fake Facebook profile, two best friends who secretly crave each other, and a dreaded sex talk with parents…boy crush in the room included. Pushing a relationship beyond the friend zone has never been so crazy…
Review:
Another amazing book from Entangled: Crush. This time in a tangled web we have weaved
ourselves in this story about the boy next door, catfishing, friends forever
and feeling down on yourself when obviously there is no reason to! Author Jodie
Andrefski has done a wonderful job writing this story about these characters
that you can’t help to relate to, or in some cases want to relate to.
It’s really great to see books getting so entangled in the
modern age, and really who doesn’t know about catfishing, sure it’s not the
best way to go, but sometimes we just don’t think clearly. Especially when it has something to do with
love. If you live under a rock and don’t
know what catfish is, it’s when you pretend to be someone else online to get
another person’s attention, or just attention in general really. Where was Nev in this book, he he, jk. We meet these two characters who are
neighbors and have been best friends forever and a day. But of course one wants to be more than just
friends and pulls up this master plan to make the other realize what they
really have together. We all know this
isn’t going to end pretty but we have to see what’s going to happen.
The book overall was entertaining from beginning to
end. There were times where I wanted to
slap Emma in the face and tell her to get over it, but I see where she was
coming from as well. Then again hey
there are more fish in the see (even if the one here seemed a little bit
creepy, just saying). But then again, lol, when you know you know and Emma
definitely knew!
Eli seems like a really great catch though, he seemed to be
a very well rounded character who both had good and bad sides to him but
overall was a great character to watch.
You could see when the realization hit him of exactly what he had, how
he could lose it and really what he needed to do. Although I think he could have done more I was
still rooting for him. Sometimes I wish I
had a best friend like that, standing date every Sunday to watch a move, ah
bliss.
Anyway the two of them figure out what needs figuring with a
little bit of hi-jinks thrown in the loop.
Great book, quick and easy read.
Can’t wait to read another book from this author because everything
flowed very seamlessly and kept me interested the whole way through. I think the cover is absolutely adorable and
just feel good. That’s how I felt about
this book, just made me feel really good.
Oh to be young again! Go check this book out!
