The Boyfriend Blog, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by USA Today bestselling author K.L. Grayson.
Boyfriend (n.)
  • A frequent or regular male companion with whom one has a romantic or sexual relationship.
  • A myth. A legend. Impossible to find.
According to her eighty-year-old neighbor, Lizzie Donovan is looking for Mr. Right in all the wrong places. Though it’s made great fodder for her blog, Lizzie is finally tired of swiping left and awful blind dates, and she’s ready to take Mrs. Skinner’s advice and find love the old-fashioned way. Goodbye dating app, hello grocery store, book store, dog park, and wherever else she might be able to meet a good man. And she really has nothing to lose. Not only will she be entertained along the way, but even if she ends up alone, she’ll always have her longtime best friend, Aiden, by her side.
Friend zone (n.)
  • A situation in which a friendship exists between two people, one of whom has an unreciprocated romantic or sexual interest in the other.
  • Location of Aiden Wallace.
According to his eighty-year-old neighbor, Aiden Wallace has been friend zoned. And that’s mostly his fault because instead of opening his eyes and seeing what was right in front of him, Aidan has spent the last several years enjoying the single life. But things have changed—he has changed—and now he needs his best friend, Lizzie, to stop shoving him into the friend zone so he can work at winning her heart. Until then, he’s stuck watching her string of dating disasters and wishing she’d believe him when he tells her he’s the one.

Review:

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

The boyfriend blog is a stand-alone novel written by. The story follows Aiden and Lizzie who are best friends and are about to become more.

I would have liked the novel more if I didn't have such a strong dislike for the heroine. I couldn't stand her after a while. When she said that Aiden had done something in the past to make her not want to become something more than friends with him I immediately thought that it would be something silly and she would have blown it out of proportion. Was I right? You can find out if/when you read the book. Lizzie has the tendency to overreact to every single situation. When Aiden explained what drove him to act as he did in the past, I was expecting her to understand but she got very angry instead. I have said it for some heroines and now I will say it for Aiden too. You took her back way too easily man. Where is the groove? People and their feelings.... *shakes head*. When she said that he should have known even drunk that it wasn't Emily (her twin) the one standing in front of him because she was his best for so long I kinda lost it and I knew I couldn't jump on the liking Lizzie train ever again. Two of my friends are twins and still, on a rare occasion their parents mix them up. It can happen even to the best of us.

I was wishing that Aiden would find someone else even for a little while, just to get to Lizzie's face. Most of the book is him chasing
her and I wanted to see the tables reversed even for a little while. It was annoying seeing her going to dates with other
men, while he was just pinning for her and was having her turning him down at every chance he had.

The book could have been better in my opinion, but it wasn't bad. I did finish it after all. I just disliked the heroine, so while I wouldn't recommend the book, I also wouldn't not recommend it.

Excerpt:
The Boyfriend Blog
August 29, 2015
Boyfriend wanted: Loyal and funny. Wait…I just described a dog. I should buy a dog.
For real, though, Loyal and funny, that’s easy enough, right? Wrong! Do you ever ask yourself why dating in today’s society is so hard? Or where all the good guys are? Or what happened to dating before sex and *gasp* chivalry? I wish I had the answers to those questions for you, but I don’t. Unfortunately, I’m scratching my head and wondering the same things you are, which is how I ended up here in the first place. I never thought I’d be a blogger—especially one who writes about men and dating—and really, I’m not; I’m just a twenty-something girl who got her heart broken for the first time and, while drowning myself in a pint of cookie dough ice cream, thought to myself: Self, how many other girls out there are doing this exact thing? How many of us are loading up on carbs and sugar while mentally berating humans of the penis-wielding variety? I know I can’t be the only one. After proposing that same question to my sister, she suggested that I blog about it. So, whether you’re like me and are swallowing past the bitter first taste of a broken heart, or you’re on your tenth helping and somehow keep finding the courage to go back for more, this blog is for you. Let me start out by saying you are not alone. Louder for the sobbing girl in the back: YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Sit down, buckle up, and let’s enjoy this crazy ride of bad dating apps and even worse dates together. P.S. Men suck. And not in a good way. XOXO, Liz
