Synopsis

There are three things you need to know about Preston “PK” Kingsley: He’s a writer, toiling in obscurity as an editorial assistant at a New York City publishing house. He is not a cliché. No, really. He’s been secretly in love with his best friend, Art, since they once drunkenly kissed in college. When Art moves in with PK following a bad breakup, PK hopes this will be the moment when Art finally sees him as more than a friend. But Art seems to laugh off the very idea of them in a relationship, so PK returns to his writing roots—in fiction, he can say all the things he can’t say out loud. In his book, PK can be the perfect boyfriend. Before long, it seems like the whole world has a crush on the fictionalized version of him, including Art, who has no idea that the hot new book everyone's talking about is PK’s story. But when his brilliant plan to win Art over backfires, PK might lose not just his fantasy book boyfriend but also his best friend. Carina Adores is home to modern, romantic love stories where LGBTQ+ characters find their happily-ever-afters. Discover a new Carina Adores book every month!

Goodreads review by Imme on March 04, 2023

|| 2.5 stars || What I loved about this book is that there was sooo much pining and longing. It’s the slowest of slow-burns with absolutely zero smut. The way PK (he/him) is desperately in love with his best friend, Art (they/them), had me by the throat, and it was very cute how much he adored them. H......more

Goodreads review by Marieke on February 19, 2022

When I started reading Book Boyfriend, I immediately laughed out loud. A guy who only has three towels, one for, ahem, plumbing issues, and one that’s too fancy to use. So that leaves one for daily use. One? One! Okayyy … Like a friend said: Not very hygienic and romantic. After that chapter, I was s......more

***HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY💌 Thank you, Carina Press, for the advance reading copy. As much as I was looking forward to a book with queer main characters falling in love amidst books and reading as much as the cover and the blurb, boy and they, am I disappointed? You bet! I enjoyed the humour in the writin......more

Goodreads review by Pam on April 26, 2022

2.5 stars Kris Ripper is one of my favorite authors, which probably explains how I stayed up way too late reading a book I don't think I liked that much. The crisis point comes around 60%, right when I was about to go to bed, and I got legit choked up on PK's behalf and needed to know he was going to......more

Goodreads review by Carolina on April 06, 2022

I think this is one of those 'it's not you, it's me' type of situations. Maybe I'm not the right target audience for this book. I don't know. I read it fairly quickly but, representation aside, I honestly can't remember a single thing I like about it, which is a shame. One thing I can tell you is tha......more
