Noah Byrd has just started at a new school and is determined to prove to everyone that he’s a boy. Which is why he needs to join his new schools most exclusive club: The Borrow a Boyfriend Club. However, he doesn’t get off on the best foot with the club’s president, Asher.

After a failed interview, Asher has given Noah another chance. If he’s able to romance Asher into a successful date, he can be let into the club. The only problem? The more Noah gets to know Asher, the more he realizes that he might be falling for him. No matter what, it seems like Noah will lose. After all, if he makes it into the club, the first rule is: no boyfriends or girlfriends. 

Thanks to Delacorte and NetGalley for an advanced copy of The Borrow a Boyfriend Club by Page Powars to review! Let me just say, if you’re looking for a fluffy, happy rom-com, this book has you covered. It’s all about teenagers being teenagers, trying to navigate the dating world. Are they absolutely ridiculous at times? Yes. And that’s part of what makes this book such a fun story to read.

While yes, this book is a lot of fluffy rom-com fun, it doesn’t shy away from more serious issues. Especially Noah’s desire to prove that he’s a boy. A lot of this story is Noah trying to fit into what society deems to be a boy, allt he while learning that he doesn’t have to fit anyone’s expectations. He can still do what he loves (like dancing), and have it fit his identity. It’s such a great message at the core of an adorable romance.

And oh my goodnes, Noah and Asher are such teenagers. They’re oblivious to what’s right in front of them, they make many mistakes, and it’s just wonderful to read about. Powars is going to be a wheelhouse in teen romances, I just know it. If this first book is any indication, he’s got a knack for writing a great teenage voice.

All in all, if you’re looking for a happy, fluffy romance to pick up this fall, definitely check this one out!
