Audiobook Review: The Boyfriend Project by Farrah Rochon

Book: 75/150

Rating: 3.5/5

Summary: 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, no dating, and no worrying about their relationship status . . .

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, honey-eyed Daniel Collins at work. What are the chances? When it comes to love, there's no such thing as a coincidence. But is Daniel really boyfriend material or is he maybe just a little too good to be true?

Thoughts: The narration for this one was fantastic: Je Nie Fleming is so lively and engaging that it made for a fun listen. Samiah is a great lead: she was fun, confident, and ambitious. I loved the premise of focusing on your career (so many romances have women set their careers aside for love and family), and her friendships and support system with London and Taylor (who are going to get their own books after this)! I liked how Daniel's job was really interesting - he works for a government agency that does undercover work to investigate money laundering schemes. It made this office romance much more unique to me. I look forward to reading future books in this series!
