Synopsis

My Fair Lady meets the classic teen film She's All That in this charming and swoony new rom-com from Brian D. Kennedy, author of A Little Bit Country. Perfect for fans of What If It's Us and She Gets the Girl. Wade Westmore is used to being in the spotlight. So when he’s passed over for the lead in the spring musical, it comes as a major blow—especially when the role goes to his ex-boyfriend, Reese, who dumped him for being too self-involved.Shy sophomore Elijah Brady is used to being overlooked. Forget not knowing his name—most of his classmates don’t even know he exists. So when he joins the stage crew for the musical, he seems destined to blend into the scenery.When the two have a disastrous backstage run-in, Elijah proposes an arrangement that could solve both boys’ problems: If Wade teaches Elijah how to be popular, Wade can prove that he cares about more than just himself. Seeing a chance to win Reese back, Wade dives headfirst into helping Elijah become the new and improved “Brady.”Soon their plan puts Brady center stage—and he’s a surprising smash hit. So why is Wade suddenly less worried about winning over his ex and more worried about losing Elijah?

Goodreads review by Snjez on March 05, 2024

This was so charming. I loved the high school theatre setting, the references to My Fair Lady and She's All That, but without the stupid bet, and the characters.

Goodreads review by Marieke on November 13, 2023

I already loved A Little Bit Country, and now My Fair Brady pushed itself in my heart, too. The keyword I’d use for Brian D. Kennedy’s books is warmth.

*3.5 stars* My Fair Brady is a theater kid book written for theater kids. I'm not a theater kid, but I still enjoyed it, though I found the young adult squabbles and drama to be a bit exhausting at times. I'm not a YA romance reader, as a rule, but I dabble from time to time. This is my second book f......more

Goodreads review by ancientreader on October 11, 2023

OK, I'll say it: this is a very nearly perfect YA romcom. It is not a romance for adults and it shouldn't be judged like one: it doesn't have the emotional complexity you (probably) want if you're an adult reader. There isn't any sex (though it's hinted that one of the MCs did have sex in a past rel......more

When I started this yesterday I wasn't expecting to love it so much that I had to finish it that same day. I thought I'd comfortably stretch it to two or even three days but no, the book had a mind of its own. As a former theatre kid I felt so seen, this whole book was very relatable and fun, the ch......more
