Ellie Nichols moved to Washington, D.C., at the end of her junior year of high school. As the new girl, she's disheartened that Crystal, her only friend, is set to study in England for fall semester. But at least Ellie is certain that popular, sporty Andy is going to ask her out at his party. Instead, disaster strikes: When Andy professes his feelings in front of everyone, he's actually speaking to Crystal, something Ellie only realizes after she's thrown her arms around him. The mortifying moment floods social media. When Crystal decides to stay in the States with Andy, this leaves an opening on the study abroad program for Ellie. Her luck quickly turns: A handsome British boy named Will sweeps her off her feet. He's everything she wants, but Ellie can't open up to him. Instead, she relies on Dev, a boy from her high school whom she previously didn't know well, to coach her on attracting Will. In the end, she must choose between her hot British boyfriend and staying true to herself. The setting is sumptuous, and Ellie and Dev's banter rings true. But Ellie's naivet� acts as the main--and not very compelling--obstacle,more swooning and interpersonal drama would have made for a better read. Most characters are White,Dev is Indian American. A lukewarm travel romance. (Romance. 14-18) COPYRIGHT(2020) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

But when Andy humiliates her and she becomes a meme, well--Ellie just wants to disappear. Salvation presents itself in the form of an honors program near London, and while Ellie's never been an honors student, she's willing to work extra hard if it means escaping the embarrassing gossip, getting to travel abroad, and maybe even meeting some cute British boys. And practically no sooner has she arrived than she meets totally gorgeous Will, who's somehow into her, too. But even as she gets swept away by new love, Ellie starts to make true, genuine connections with the others in her program--including with Dev, a boy who's maybe the first person to see her for who she really is. This lighthearted whirlwind of a debut is part frothy romance, part thoughtful venture of self-exploration. Readers will enjoy rooting for Ellie as she struggles to choose between the fantasy and the reality. COPYRIGHT(2020) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

After arriving, she realizes that her classmates have a very different mentality than her-studying. Instead, Ellie wants to take in the sights and experience life with a hot English boy. However, once she finds a wonderful and debonair Brit, sandy-haired Will, she wonders if he's right for her. Dev, her studying companion and new friend, makes things even more complicated. Should she be with Will or Dev? This book is perfect for any high schooler who loves cheesy romances. While going on a date with a complete stranger in a new country doesn't make the most logical sense, readers will be swept away by this story. Characters are from a variety of backgrounds: Dev is Indian American and his large family wants him to be a successful doctor,Will is from a very successful family and he struggles with what he wants to do in life. New friend Huan, who has black hair, is gay, and Ellie's race isn't stated.

Determined to leave her embarrassment and the happy couple behind, Ellie plans to skate by academically while taking in England and landing a hot British boyfriend. Swiftly checking goals off her list, she launches into a relationship with dashing Will, whose good looks and expensive tastes more than make up for their lack of common interests—and the lies Ellie finds herself telling to win him over. She also forms unexpected bonds with fellow American exchange students, including studious roommate Sage and Dev, a frequent study partner from her high school whose easy banter causes her to question what she truly wants, romantically and for her future. Boyce attains believable growth for Ellie, her insecurity and lack of direction giving way to a developing self-confidence as she opens herself up to new experiences and people while tapping into her passion for gardening and art. Boyce keeps lighthearted humor and romance at the forefront, delivering a satisfying happy-for-now ending to a feel-good rom-com. Ages 13–up. Agent: Tara Gonzalez, Erin Murphy Literary. "

Riley starts her junior year sentenced to work at her father's game store as punishment following a serious infraction involving her mother's car. When her ex drops in, Riley impulsively pretends that co-worker and classmate Nathan is her boyfriend. Nathan is not amused, but she convinces him that the ruse will also help him win the heart of his crush, fellow D&D player Sophia. Nongamer Riley strengthens the pretense by joining his D&D campaign, and she discovers that her musical theater background lends itself well to role-playing games. Over time, it becomes harder for Riley and Nathan to discern whether each other's romantic gestures are an act or based on something real. Riley slowly gains more appreciation for her father than spending alternate weekends at his apartment during the five years since the divorce has allowed for. Meanwhile, the school principal cancels the spring musical for budget reasons, and Riley is working on a proposal to change his mind. When a crisis strikes, Riley's friends step up to advocate for the importance of the arts. The book's strengths lie in its characterization: Authentic portrayals of friendships and family relationships make the story shine, and the store's sense of community adds depth and is part of Riley's changing perception of her father. Most main characters are white,Riley's best friend is Japanese American. Gamers and nongamers alike will find much to enjoy in this sweet romance.

Not only does she know nothing about gaming, but a disastrous meet-cute with her coworker Nathan has Riley completely dreading working at the store. Everything changes when a slip of the tongue leaves the two of them faking a relationship in order to help out their love lives. But what's a girl to do when sparks are flying and your fake relationship starts to feel a little too real? Boyce delivers a light rom-com that offers delight all the way through. From musical scheming to Dungeons & Dragons adventures, the story's high jinks involve a lovable cast of characters that are relatable and intriguing. Filled with classic romance tropes, Riley and Nathan's evolving relationship, from enemies to friends to more, creates a warm story where the stakes are present but never too high. Additionally, Riley's blossoming dynamic with her divorced parents is nicely, if minutely, explored as she spends more time at her father's store. Riley and Nathan are both white.

Riley, who still holds a grudge, has never set foot in his store--until now, after she and her best friend borrowed her mom's car. Her punishment? Eight weeks at her dad's store after school, and nothing else. When the school cancels the spring musical that she was hoping to direct, she scrambles to figure out how to get them to reverse the decision. While she plots a big presentation, she also joins up with one of the Dungeons & Dragons groups at her dad's store, mostly just to make her ex jealous. She talks Nathan, one of the gamers, into yet another plot to make his crush notice him, but as they play together, is she starting to fall for him? Boyce, best known for Hot British Boyfriend (2021), does rom-coms well. Fake dating is everywhere in YA, but this nerdy take is lots of fun--and even a little magical.
