Book #48: The Fill-In Boyfriend by Kasie West

I love Kasie West's easy-to-read romances. This book probably took me less than two hours to read--ha! So it's definitely not something that you need to invest a lot of time or energy in. But each of her books are well-written and fun, and the characters are easy to follow. I'm never distracted by any poor writing and the storyline seems fun. This book was about Gia, whose boyfriend broke up with her in the parking lot of her prom, so she gets another guy who was waiting there to come and pretend to be her boyfriend so she doesn't get embarrassed in front of her friends--but she starts to like him instead and a whole process of changes happens as the story unfolds. I thought it was interesting how Gia begins to discover things about herself through this comedy of errors, and how she does some self-introspection and begins to change some things about how she treats other people because of what she's learned about herself. But the romance was cute, the characters were pretty believable, and I liked that it wasn't all tied up in a bow and perfect at the end. A lot of the conflicts that arose during the book (like with her friends and with her parents) weren't resolved--but there was hope for it to continue being worked on. Overall, another great Kasie West read.
