About this ebook
The first time Greta saw Blake, she knew he was the one. Knew it like fire knows tinder.
She hadn't thought she’d be at a frat party her first week in college, but her roommate, Amber, convinced her to go. Greta couldn't believe how easy it was to get in. It seemed like they threw those parties just so girls like her would come. But she was pretty now, and everything was different. No one knew anything about her ugly duckling past or all the darkness before. It was a whole new world, a brand new start. Then she saw Blake and knew he was her destiny.
But Blake saw Amber first. And he got...confused. Blake was her soul mate. She could tell. She knew all about soul mates.
Too bad about her last one.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5WOW this was a very good book. The main character was creepy and crazy but I loved it! I would for sure read more from this series! I was excited to read this book and I am glad I did. I was very hooked into this book and couldn't wait to find out what crazy thing Greta would do next. What it was a great ride. * I received a copy of this book from the author in a LibraryThing giveaway and this is my honest review*
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I received a complimentary copy from LibraryThing's Members Giveaway program.Narrated by Greta Bell, the protagonist, this is a psychological thriller about a delusional, mentally unbalanced ugly duckling-turned-beautiful swan. Greta is a freshman in college and is excited about the opportunity for a fresh start.She is paired with Amber, a beautiful and bubbly Southern belle from a relatively affluent background. The two roomies get along great...at first, until sorority snubbing and a boy come between them and wreak havoc.Suspense/thrillers are my favorite genre. I was intrigued by the premise and loved the eye-catching cover. I was hooked from the first page. The writing is simple and readable with vivid descriptions. There is some graphic language and sexual content but it's not excessive and is consistent with the characters and storyline.Overall, I really enjoyed this book. Although it was short, the story and characters were well-developed. It is the first in a trilogy so there is more to the story. I am eager to find out what exactly happened to Amber and what's next for Blake and Greta. I was thrilled to discover an excerpt from Party Dress, the sequel, was included, and Diamond Ring, the final book, was released November 5th. I plan to read the entire series and look forward to more from Harper(and catching up on what I missed).
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5LOVED IT! Going in, it didn't seem like my kind of book. I'm normally not a fan of romances (save for John Green) so I wasn't super excited, but It was nothing like I had expected. This book was super thrilling and I couldn't put it down until I finished it. Greta goes to such extreme lengths to get what she wants. It keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. 10/10 would recommend.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This novel was simultaneously hard to put down and difficult to read. The story was chillingly disturbing and I found myself perturbed yet curious about what Greta would do next. There were a few typos, but overall it was very well-written and the plot certainly kept me on my toes!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5***I won a free copy on LibraryThing in exchange for an honest review***I enjoyed this book. Greta was undercover crazy. The story was written in her first person point of view. As a reader, I felt like I was in on a secret. I knew that she was crazy and obsessed with guys who gave her attention, but the characters in the story had no idea. They found out too late. I don't care for fraternity or sorority life, but there were a lot of those scenes because Greta and her roommate were rushing for the semester.The story really started to get interesting when Greta didn't receive a pledge. There was tension between her and her roommate, who ended up dead. I read the book, and I still have no idea who killed her...I wish this book would have gave me that answer. I guess book #2 will go into further detail?I RECOMMEND this book to read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It was love at first sight for college freshman Greta Bell when she saw her soul mate Blake Abbott at a frat party. Too bad Blake is dating her roommate.
Blake is putting Greta through a test, just like her high school sweetheart did, to find out if her love is true and the lengths she goes to to get what she wants is scary.
More than once Greta made me uncomfortable. What went through that poor girl's head - wow. This book is filled with lots of twists and turns. The story flowed well, was easy to read and made you feel like you were there following Greta around (ha ha)
Unputdownable! - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I won this book through LibraryThing and agreed to give it an honest review, and WOW was I amazed! Book one of the series just flew past my eyes as I rapidly read it and now I can't wait to read the next! What will Greta and Blake do as they are under of murder!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was not what I wears expecting and I am pleasantly surprised!! The protagonist is proper twister and well done to the author for immersing herself in a such a disturbing character! Loved it!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Spoiler alert within...and I only recommend the book if you have no problem with the spoiler below.
I picked up "Boyfriend Glasses" on a whim. Every few books I need a young adult fix and this seemed like the perfect book. What a tale of first person delusional obsession. It offered a brief look into sorority and fraternity life, and the story was certainly compelling. The main character, Greta Bell, must have a perpetual lucky horseshoe around her neck because there never seemed to be any consequences for her.
Spoiler: This isn't your typical spoiler. It's more about my reading experience. I wanted to give this book 3.5 stars, but given the choice between 3 and 4 stars, I chose 4. The reason why? The book is a page-turner but leaves you hanging. The author holds the ending ransom and the only way to find out is to subscribe to the author's mailing list. After investing time reading this book, I felt duped. There must be better ways to engage the reader.
