The Girlfriend Project

Reader reviewed by Jannah

This is definitley a book to lighten your mood, the book has amazing characters, and a totally unexpected ending, the book has ups and downs, but it will always end up funny in some form. I liked the part near the ending when he tells his freind he likes her and I love everyones reactions through out the book.

Reed has always been a dork. But the summer before his senior year of high school, he ditched his glasses for contacts, got his braces taken off, and grew a few inches. Now all the girls he's been after since freshmen year are after him. But talking to the girls isn't as easy as his AP classes. But his best friends, Ronnie and Lonnie are there to help. Lonnie's the guy who can get any girl he wants and his twin sister Ronnie is the prettiest, and most popular, girl in school. They're determined to get Reed a girlfriend before school ends. So Ronnie sets up thegirlfriendproject.com to help Reed find a girl who interests him that is also interested in him. And it's not long before the entire school hears about the site.

The Girlfriend Project was a very interesting and original story about high school dating. I thought that the writing was excellent and the cover is so cute. I bought it because I liked the cover so much. At first it sounded like the part of Inside the Mind of Gideon Rayburn where Gideon's two friends tried to find him a girlfriend, but it was way different then I expected. I still loved it though. And it was short. I haven't read any books under 200 pages in a while. If you haven't read it yet, you should. Especially now that it's in it's super pretty paperback form. (I don't know how long it's been like that, and I probably wouldn't have ever found it if I hadn't gone tot he Breaking Dawn release party.)

Over the summer Reed Walton turns...well, hot. Reed is used to being the geek. The guy no one but his best friends would talk to, but now he's the hot topic. How is Reed supposed to understand why people like him now? He is still the same Reed on the inside. Reed's friends Ronnie and Lonnie try to help him understand, which leads them to creating a dating site just for Reed called The Girlfriend Project. But Reed is reluctant to work with them, he just wants to be himself. Reeds overcomes many hilarious obstacles in this novel.

I couldn't help but love this book. It was fun to read about the inner geek in Reed. The book made me want to give everyone a chance no matter how different they were, because they just might be a pretty cool person. Reed kept making me laugh with all his witty remarks. My only complaint about this book would be that it was predictable. I knew what was going to happen before it did.

Reed,a senior in high school,has never been on a date or even kissed a girl for that matter. Now he's good looking.He did not intend to change his looks and become popular. He simply got taller and got a haircut. But hey, it worked out. With the help of his best friends, fraternal twins Lonnie and Ronnie, he manages to become popular.They create The Girlfriend Project which is basically their advice and lists of dating do's and don'ts.Somehow, it turns into a website - thegirlfriendproject.com - where teens from school leave feedback.

Because of that, Reed starts acting more confident, girls from school and work notice him. But Reed is not satisfied with the shallow girls he's been dating. Instead he starts to like his bes friend Ronnie (she's a girl)
