Book Review: The Boyfriend Project by Farrah Rochon

Shelly's Book Corner received a review copy from NetGalley and voluntarily provided an honest review. This does not affect the opinion of the book or the content of the review.

Samiah Brooks never thought she would be "that" girl. But a live tweet of a horrific date just revealed the painful truth: she's been catfished by a three-timing jerk of a boyfriend. Suddenly Samiah-along with his two other "girlfriends," London and Taylor-have gone viral online. Now the three new besties are making a pact to spend the next six months investing in themselves. No men and no dating.
For once Samiah is putting herself first, and that includes finally developing the app she's always dreamed of creating. Which is the exact moment she meets the deliciously sexy Daniel Collins at work. What are the chances? But is Daniel really boyfriend material or is he maybe just a little too good to be true?

Review 

I loved the strong female friendships in this book and how it’s important to have a tribe of women that have your back.

Samiah works at a Tech company and this story touches on the challenges she faces as being the only Black woman in her position and the pressure that comes with in that role. Like the old saying goes we have to work twice as hard for less just to prove our worth.

The romance between Daniel and Samiah was nice but the theme of friendship and being Black in the workplace is what sealed the deal for me in this story. At times I did feel the pacing of the story was a little slow but I did enjoy the book overall. I’m hoping Taylor will be the next book!
