Synopsis:
Adorkable (ah-dor-kuh-bul): Descriptive term meaning to be equal parts dorky and adorable. For reference, see Sally Spitz. Seventeen-year-old Sally Spitz is done with dating. Or at least, she's done with the horrible blind dates/hookups/sneak attacks her matchmaking bestie, Hooker, sets her up on. There's only so much one geek girl and Gryffindor supporter can take. Her solution: she needs a fake boyfriend. And fast. Enter Becks, soccer phenom, all-around-hottie, and Sally's best friend practically since birth. When Sally asks Becks to be her F.B.F. (fake boyfriend), Becks is only too happy to be used. He'd do anything for Sal--even if that means giving her PDA lessons in his bedroom, saying she's "more than pretty," and expertly kissing her at parties. The problem: Sally's been in love with Becks all her life--and he's completely clueless. This book features two best friends, one special edition Yoda snuggie, countless beneath-the-ear kisses and begs the question: Who wants a real boyfriend when faking it is so much more fun?
My Review:
I really wasn’t expecting to love this book as much as I do now, obviously it is now one of my very favorites and one that I’ll recommend to all my bookish friends. So here’s the thing Sally our lead girl isn’t portrait as the beautiful girl that doesn’t know it, she’s more a shy girl and don’t get me wrong she isn’t ugly, she just more a relatable character and she loves movies, those really nerd ones but she makes it work with Becks.
Becks has been her bff through all those years and he obviously is the ZAC EFRON of her school. Is not that you don’t expect them to be in love of each after everything they do together and how much time they spend together but is so interested how the author play with the idea of a fake bf and how things develop through the pages and how the little secrets that both of them have been hiding comes to the light.
Most of the time I was so mad at Becks because even though, they were only faking the relationship he let all those girl flirt with him so you kind of doubt if he has feelings for Sally for real. But you get to the point where you understand why is he doing it and why he’s hoping to get with it.
I won’t lie to you at all, you going to sit there and just devour the book in one sit because it so funny and all you want to do is keep turning pages to see what else is coming. The author gives to the words there so much meaning and turn it into this situation you can feel yourself on it that or you definitely have meet someone to tell you after an hour he loves you and you are the girl of his dreams that it totally wraps you around so easily and smoothly.
Overall, you definitely need to give this a try. I highly recommend it and can’t wait to get my hands on more books from this author. Don’t even doubt to get a copy of adorkable because you going to love it and finish it in a blink of an eye. Fast paced, humorous, cute, and relatable.
