White Boyfriend: An absolutely heart-warming feel-good romantic comedy
If you can’t love yourself, how are you going to love anybody else? A sweet, funny, feel-good page-turner about getting your groove back.
Nikki has it all—a great career, a gorgeous apartment and a boyfriend who is basically perfect. Okay, maybe things have grown a little too comfortable… but Nikki can handle it if it means keeping hot and wholesome Bron in her life.
Then the unthinkable happens and Bron walks out, leaving Nikki feeling like a total failure. They were supposed to have marriage and babies… but instead she’s got a guilty conscience, pissed-off parents who just want her to win him back and the realization that without “Nikki-and-Bron” to hide behind, she has no idea who she really is.
Desperate to pull her out of her slump, best friends Alicia and Chay embark on a mission to help Nikki find Nikki again… by tossing her straight back into the dating pool. There she meets Mike – sweet, laid-back and the first white guy she’s ever been with. There’s no doubt there’s some serious chemistry between them, but is becoming part of Mike’s world taking Nikki even further away from herself?
Then Bron unexpectedly comes knocking, just as things are getting serious with Mike, and the rule book goes right out the window…
This feel-good read about finding yourself is perfect for fans of How to Be Single, Just the Way I Am and Spoiler Alert.
BLOG TOUR REVIEW
Review for 'White Boyfriend' by Leesha McCoy.
Read and reviewed via NetGalley for LeeSha McCoy, Bookouture publishers and Bookouture anonymous
Publication date 10th March 2022.
This is the first book I have read by this author.
I was originally drawn to this book by its eye catching cover and intriguing sounding synopsis and title. The synopsis stated that 'This feel-good read about finding yourself is perfect for fans of How to Be Single, Just the Way I Am and Spoiler Alert.' I am a huge fan of 'How To Be Single' and 'Just The Way I Am' so am looking forward to seeing if this lives up to this statement. I must admit I was also biased due to the publisher being Bookouture. I have yet to read a book published by Bookouture that I haven't enjoyed. Hopefully this won't be the first... Watch this space! (Written before I started reading the book).
This novel consists of 35 chapters. The chapters are short to medium in length so possible to read 'just one more chapter' before bed...OK, I know yeah right, but still just in case!
This book is based in the USA 🇺🇸.
This book is written in first person perspective and the protagonist is Nikki. The benefits of books written in first person perspective are as long as they are well written it makes you feel that you are being spoken to by the protagonist and it can create more of a bond between yourselves and them.
'White Boyfriend' discusses some topics that may trigger some readers or may not be suitable for others. I like to point this out ahead of time in my reviews so you can judge if this book is for you or not. In this book LeeSha discusses/includes sexual content so would recommend for 16 years plus.
OMG!!!! I CANNOT REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I LAUGHED SO MUCH!!! What an absolutely page turning, refreshing, laugh a minute read!!!! It is perfectly written to hook the reader in and the title, cover and synopsis is perfect for the storyline.
I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVED this book which got me hook, line and sinker!! I absolutely devoured it in one reading and was completely absorbed throughout!! I loved that it feels that Nikki is talking directly to me over a cup of tea at the kitchen table. I coinldnt stop laughing from the first page to the end. I adore the fact that although there are quite sad moments and emotional times that within minutes LeeSha has you laughing until you are in tears again. This book is a complete breathe of fresh air and is the perfect mix of 'Bridesmaids' and 'The Hangover' and 'Bridget Jones Diaries' but funnier!!!! I genuinely couldn't recommend this book any more!!!! This is the most hilarious book I have read this year, and more. If you are looking for a light hearted read filled with romance, alcohol, sex, love, comedy, sadness, family and so, so much more you are in the right place!! This is a book about a woman finding herself and what is right for her and when I read the 'Thank Yous' at the end and discovered how Nikki helped LeeSha through her own struggles I loved Nikki even more! I enjoyed that this book delved into subjects such as interracial dating and I was absolutely intrigued but also saddened by some of the things I learned and how, even though we are in the year 2022, people still have issues about the colour of someone's skin. This is a great book for anyone who does and maybe they will get their head out of the sand and history!!
I was devastated when I came to the end of this book but I absolutely LOVED reading LeeSha's notes at the end and even the acknowledgements where her personality absolutely shines through!!
The characters were all an eclectic mix and each one of them were realistic and strong. I was completely invested in them especially the gang who I thought was an absolute bunch of kick @#& b#*ch and who I absolutely LOVED getting to know!!! The all teach women everywhere to live life to their fullest in their own ways. They are wild, free and a hundred laughs a minute but has a deep side too which was lovely to see. I really enjoyed watching Nikki's personality grow and change throughout the story and I'm extremely happy that she finally had it out with her Dad. She really comes to life in this book with her larger than life personality she is definitely someone I would love to meet!!! I had tears streaming down my eyes I was laughing so much with her and the rest of the gang!!! This book is much more realistic than many romantic comedy's I have previously read. It wasn't just Nikki who I loved though but all her absolutely fantastic friends Rhian, Alicia and Chat who made the most amazing friendship family I have ever met!!! They love, fight, laugh and are everything anyone could want in a family. would love to have such amazing sisters around me!!! Each friend had such a unique personality with their own pros and cons and they are each going to be hard to forget. I really am going to miss this fantastic gang and would love to meet them all again. It would be amazing if wach of them had their own books as well as us seeing how Nikki gets along. Hint, hint Leesha 😉!!
If you have never met this gang, you my friend are SERIOUSLY missing out!! This is a bunch you will never forget and will have tears streaming down your face in laughter and fill you with love and warmth!!
A MASSIVE WELL DONE to LeeSha on a HUGE success!!! I loved every page of your book and I cannot wait to read more of your past and hopefully future books. Welcome to my favourite author club!! Here's to many more successes 🥂
Overall a laugh a minute, heart warming, addictive genuine page turner that will have you crying with laughter.
