Hot British Boyfriend

Written by Kristy Boyce

Narrated by Jesse Vilinsky

This enchanting debut teen romance novel, which follows one girl across the Atlantic in a quest to find adventure, love (preferably with a guy with a cute accent), and maybe even herself, is perfect for fans of Kasie West and Stephanie Perkins.

After a horrifying public rejection by her crush, Ellie Nichols does what any girl would do: she flees the country. To be more precise, she joins her high school’s study abroad trip to England. While most of her classmates are there to take honors courses and pad their college applications, Ellie is on a quest to rebuild her reputation and self-confidence. And nothing is more of a confidence booster than getting a hot British boyfriend.

When Ellie meets Will, a gorgeous and charming Brit, she vows to avoid making the same mistakes she did with the last guy she liked. Which is why she strikes up a bargain with Dev, an overachieving classmate who she’s never clicked with, but who does seem to know a lot about the things Will is interested in: If he helps her win over her crush, then she’ll help him win over his.

But even as Ellie embarks on a whirlwind romance, she still needs to figure out if this is actually the answer to all her problems . . . and whether the perfect boyfriend is actually the perfect boy for her.

Don't miss this teen romance book, for girls 13-16 and up as well as adult readers who enjoy a well-written and fun teen romance novel.

Reviews for Hot British Boyfriend

[Elizabeth Mellen · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Well this was absolutely adorable. Very trope-y and predictable, but that's sort of what I wanted from it! My only complaint was I wish there was more with the OTP being romance-y, at the end.

Ellie is the new kid on the block. Just recently moving to Washington DC from Virginia with her mother, she's still new at school and about to start her senior year. When the most embarrassing event happens in front of everyone from school and is not only captured on video, but plastered all over social media, Ellie just wants to crawl into a hole. When the opportunity of a lifetime pops up that involves literally getting her out of the country, she's all over it and finds herself the newest student to join the study abroad program hosted in none other than the amazing country of England. Shortly after her arrival she joins a few classmates she's just met and they go off to the street markets. That's when it happens. Ellie meets the most amazing British guy, Will. Determined to avoid yet another humiliating rejection, she does all she can to impress Will, including making a deal with Dev, a fellow classmate, to assist her in learning about cricket, one of Will's favorite sports and other subjects that may be of interest. Ellie is so persistent in her plan to be the best girlfriend she can be, and more importantly, to be the girl that Will wants her to be, that she doesn't realize some of the most obvious things that are happening. It all becomes very overwhelming and then it hits her. Is this dream really what she's been longing for?
Thank you to Netgalley, Kristy Boyce, and HarperCollins children's Books for the opportunity to read and review this book. This was a very cute and entertaining young adult rom com.
