Synopsis: Samiah Brooks has no time for a boyfriend. Especially after she just found out that the guy she was casually dating also happened to be dating two other women at the same time. Samiah finds herself to be the victim of catfishing, and even worse- the horrendous date is live-tweeted, making her and the other three ladies a trending viral sensation.
Samiah forms an unlikely friendship with the other two "girlfriends", London and Taylor. They make a pact to spend the next six months investing in themselves and swearing off dating and men. This should be easy for Samiah, she has been trying to find the time to finish developing an app that she has been working on, and now she has the perfect excuse to work complete the project. One problem though, Samiah ends up running into Daniel Collins, the new guy at work who happens to be very attractive and smart, just the type of man Samiah is looking for. But could it be too good to be true? Turns out Daniel is hiding his own secrets.
Review: This was such a fun read with a unique storyline. Samiah's character is strong and smart, she doesn't take anybody's crap and works really hard to have the life she wants. Overall the character development is great. The characters are culturally diverse and the story is full of strong females. Farrah has such an engaging and witty writing style and gives this intricately plotted story a heartwarming tone.
There isn't a lot of romance or steamy love scenes in this story compared to many others I have read but it's definitely a feel-good rom-com revolving workplace romance and with an emphasis on strong female relationships. There's a joke in the story where the girls call their friendship Squad Goals, and I couldn't agree more. It's the type of friendship group all women are looking for.
“The thought of eventually leaving her, of having to live without that smile, caused an ache to settle deep in Daniel's chest. How could he contemplate giving her up until he absolutely had to? She was like a drug, his own sweet addiction.”
― Farrah Rochon, The Boyfriend Project
I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a quick and fun read.
