Goodreads Summary:

Stella has had a hopeless crush on Will, her older brother's best friend FOREVER, but now that Cam and Will have graduated and are going off to college, this year is her chance to really strike out on her own. Without her overprotective brother and his sidekick around to distract her, she can focus on having all the typical high school experiences that she's always dreamed of—starting with finding a boyfriend! With the help of her best friend Franklin, she comes up with the perfect plan to have a boyfriend by Christmas: The Boyfriend Bracket.

Or it seems like the perfect plan...right up until Will starts showing up again. How is she supposed to find the perfect boyfriend when none of her dates measure up to the one boy she can never have?

Review

Looking for a short book to round out my reading for the month I picked up The Boyfriend Bracket. Although the voice was a little young for me to connect with, it was a quick fluffy read.

What I Liked:

- short and easy story

- fashion

- dreamy dresses- love the making-of process

- adorable BFFs

- the romance was cheesy but in a good way

- main love interest, Will was the sweetest

The Not So Much:

- voice is quite young (definitely my own preference here)

- synopsis a bit misleading

- didn't see much of the "The Boyfriend Bracket" plan

- instead of being told, I wanted to see some of Stella's dates

- big bro Cam needed to take a chill pill
