GOODREADS SUMMARY

Avery James has her life planned out: this summer she'll work with a humanitarian program in Costa Rica, next year she'll graduate at the top of her class, and after that, college and medical school. Perfect, planned, total order.

The only problem: getting the rest of the money she needs for the trip before the deadline. Hannah Cohen, her biggest competition for the valedictorian title, makes an unexpected offer: If Avery can win over Zac Greeley and make him break up with Hannah before the end of the school year, a check for five hundred dollars is all hers. Faced with the prospect of spending yet another summer working as a giant hot dog, it's an offer Avery can't refuse.

Zac is nothing like Avery expected. Within his chaotic world of midnight slushie runs and spontaneous dance parties, her total order is quickly falling apart while Hannah seems poised to get everything she wants. But just how much is Avery willing to give up for the perfect, planned life?

REVIEW

The Boyfriend Thief is oh so cute! When Hannah dares Avery to steal her boyfriend, Zac, for a five hundred dollar prize, Avery can’t say no. Avery needs that money for a humanitarian trip this summer. If she succeeds, Avery just may win more than money in this duel.

The Boyfriend Thief is funny. When Avery is trying to win over Zac’s affections, the two start up a dating service, “A to Z Love Matches.” What follows is hilarious and fits right in with the tone of this mostly light-hearted story.

The Boyfriend Thief brings real life drama. Avery is dealing with a new step parent while Zac is being forced into the family business. Then there’s Hannah. Why do you suppose she is offering up this prize in the first place? The reason will surprise you.

The Boyfriend Thief has some craziness. That would be Zac. This guy is super hyper and doesn’t sit still for a second. It was fun to read about his antics and how Avery came to understand his lack of order.

The Boyfriend Thief is a book I really liked.

COVER COMMENTS

The cover is as cute as the story. Love the casual boy and girl shoes! I also like how boyfriend is in pink script that stands out from the rest of the words.
