Description:
Ayla Hawkins is ready to stand up for change in her high school. But winning the election for class president against popular Jenna Lee will be impossible without a miracle. When she stumbles upon Mr. Perfect Luke Pressler defacing public property and catches it on camera: cue miracle. Ayla’s got the dirt she needs to get Luke on Team Ayla—in the form of her new fake boyfriend.
One mistake. All Luke wanted was a night to goof off, to blow off steam. The pressure of maintaining the perfect facade when his reality was crumbling around him had become too much, and next thing he knew, he was pretending to date Ayla Hawkins. But his little blackmailer turns out to be kind. Honorable. Opinionated. And just the breath of fresh air he didn’t even realize he was suffocating for. But Luke and Ayla come from different worlds, and once the election is over, their fauxmance will be, too.
Book Disclaimer: This Entangled Teen Crush book features adult language, sexual situations, and plenty of girl power. Reading may result in swooning, laughing, and looking for a Luke of your own.
Review:
This was an absolutely adorable quick read that had me
rooting for the main characters. They
are adorable together, because really if you think about it, having a fake
boyfriend at any time will always lead to some kind of trouble at some
point. It also makes for a very
entertaining book and Rebekah L. Purdy did a really great job bringing these
characters to life. It was all very
realistic and kind of sweet.
We meet Ayla, the theater geek who just wants to make a
change in her school and she has a brilliant plan to make that happen. You know blackmail the hottest jock there is
to date you so you can get more votes.
Can we say super entertaining because really how often can that
happen? It’s really interesting because
in reading books like these you always think of these two people who couldn’t
be more different, who don’t run in the same circles whatsoever but they always
turn out to be quite brilliant when they are together. So I have to ask, why can’t we let stereotypes
fall to the ground and be open with one another? Ok, I officially have gone off on a
tangent.
Luke, the hot popular jock is just trying to get by day by
day, trying to take care of his family because they aren’t the best (well
specifically his mom). And we all know
sometimes this happens more times than necessary, but it happens. I loved how the author bought his reality
well to life, sometimes things aren’t always as peachy keen as we think they
are and sometimes the ugly needs to come out before anything good can
happen. I loved the domesticity of this
book and the different scenarios plaid throughout by different characters. No two lives are exactly the same but we can
all still get along, well most of us, can’t same the same for Jack and
Jenna.
I didn’t really want to give too much about the plot, but
there is some great scenery in this book as well. The characters were developed and you just
started falling in love with them the more you read, especially Luke. There is a lovability about Luke and Ayla
that you can’t resist.
Overall I really loved the plot, the emotions between the
two main characters and the supporting cast as well. It’s always nice when the best friends get
together and conspire in the background to keep you altogether too. It’s cute, it was adorable, and overall very
sweet. Even the cover is just perfect too, because I would definitely pick this
up based on the cover and buy it based on the description. Although the book really didn’t have a lot of
blackmailing, he seemed pretty willing and able throughout the book, it was a
great way for the two of them to get together.
Sometimes you just never know who it is that will tickle your fancy.
Go check out this new Entangled Crush novel, it’s worth it! Read it! It’s quick, it’s fun, it’s funny, it’s
sweet and will definitely make you want to eat pizza, and maybe even some
cheesy garlic knots. Just saying!
