Boomerang Boyfriend<\/strong><\/em>
\nby Chris Cannon<\/p>\n

Working with her best friend\u2019s brother at Betty\u2019s Burgers, free-spirited Delia starts to see Jack in a new light. Not only has Jack-the-Jerk turned into a hottie, he\u2019s even acting like a nice guy, who rescues dogs and knows how she likes her coffee. But if Jack is into her, then why is he keeping her a secret? Of course, if her best friend doesn\u2019t approve, Delia could lose the only family she\u2019s ever known.<\/em><\/p>\n

Seeing Delia in her retro waitress uniform throws Jack\u2019s world out of whack. She\u2019s always been just another pain in the butt little sister\u2026not a datable female. But she\u2019s rockin\u2019 the Pie Princess tiara, and even her hot-pink striped hair is sexy. What\u2019s that about? He needs to get his head on straight, because artsy, funky Delia and her nonconformist ways don\u2019t fit in his safe and ordered world.<\/em><\/p>\n

Review:<\/p>\n

I received this copy in exchange for an honest review from Entangled Teen publishing. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you Entangled Teen!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Best friend\u2019s big brother is a trope I have always enjoyed. There\u2019s just something about it that attracts me to a story. So when I read the synopsis for this book, I wanted so badly to read it and to love it.<\/p>\n

Overall, this was such a light-hearted and cute read. I breezed through it. The characters were engaging and entertaining, and the plot, while light, was perfect for the genre. Delia and Jack were both 3-dimensional characters with enough differences and similarities to make their relationship plausible. Giving both of them flaws and strengths helped to make them real and visceral. The same with Zoe, and even Topher.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Grant and Aiden felt a little bit flat and one-dimensional. The \u2018kisses that make the world fall away\u2019 promised also seemed a little bit flat to me, though there were moments where I giggled out loud as I was reading. The use of Aiden\u2019s secret as a plot point felt a little bit demeaning and insulting, what with the very real fear he was facing. It seemed to make light a very serious topic.<\/p>\n

I am unsure if it was the copy I received, but the formatting of the novel appeared to be off. Sentences had no spaces between them, some quotation marks and punctuation was missing, and certain sentences were structured a little oddly. If this was a formatting issue because I was using Kindle on the iPad, then it is no problem. However, this did detract from my experience with the story as a whole.<\/p>\n

Still, it was an entertaining read, and while it is not something I would possibly reread, it has sparked an interest in the author\u2019s other works. And I will definitely be recommending it to friends whose tastes veer in this direction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
