About this ebook
Gabe isn't a werewolf. He just plays one on TV. Jess isn't a guy magnet. She just writes teen romance. TV heartthrob Gabriel Wade has never met a party he couldn't rock, a problem he couldn't dodge, or a crowd he couldn't play. Homeschooled Jessica Thorne has never met a party she couldn't wallflower, a problem she couldn't stress over, or a crowd she couldn't escape. But they both know what it's like to lose someone . . . someone who's still here.
After a hotel escalator dumps Jess into Gabe's spotlight and he unknowingly hijacks her first kiss, he decides she'll be the perfect decoy for the paparazzi. If he can convince her to play his "girlfriend of the week."
Except Jess isn’t about to be anyone’s fangirl and wants nothing to do with TV's Hottest Hairball or his Hollywood ego. And by the time she figures out he isn't who she thought, it might be too late to say she needs him as much as he needs her. Even if he wants her for real.
More than just a romance, The Accidental Boyfriend is the story of what happens when two people from very different worlds are thrown together only to discover they’re both struggling to figure out who they are and how to navigate a loss they didn’t plan.
For fans of Kasie West, Sarah Dessen, Katie McGary, and Jenny Han.
“Un-put-down-able! Delightfully clever. Plot surprises kept me eagerly turning the pages.” ~ Kathleen Baldwin, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of A School for Unusual Girls
A fresh spin on the fake relationship trope, and a well-crafted love story with pacing that serves the characters and their journeys well. ~ Critic’s Report The BookLife Prize
“By far one of the best YA romances I've ever read . . . I've read A LOT. I can't believe how well this was written, how layered this story was, and how in love I was with Gabe and Jess's story. I cried, grinned, I blushed, and I would do it all over again. BRB. Ordering a physical copy so I can reread." ~ Charity (Bookbub)
About the author
Lori Freeland wrote her first story at age five. It wasn’t good, but it left her with the belief that everyone has a story to tell. An author, editor, and writing coach, she writes everything from articles to novels, has taught at multiple conferences across the country, and calls Dallas home. She loves great books, happy endings, and the perfect kiss. When she’s not curled up with her dogs drinking too much coffee, she’s most likely messing with the lives of the imaginary people living inside her head.
