If I Were Your Boyfriend (Kimani TRU)
Social zero meets unlikely heroHow had Keysha gone from popular to social outcast? One word: frenemy. A girl Keysha thought was her friend planted drugs on her--and Keysha got caught. The media blitz on their wealthy suburb turned everyone against her. First day back at school, and Keysha is stared down in the halls. Whispered about. No one will talk to her. And the girl who ruined Keysha's reputation laughs in her face. So when a guy with his own bad rep offers to help, Keysha's first reaction is yeah, right. Talk about an unlikely hero.But soon she realizes that Wesley Morris is more than just hot, more than just talk. He's been there, done that and turned his life around. But no one wants this so-called bad-news boyfriend anywhere near Keysha. Including her family. Still, Wesley isn't willing to walk away and let Keysha pay for someone else's crime. He'll even risk everything to save her...and their relationship.
Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Fiction, Romance. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.

A comfortable full-length choice for steady daily reading.
Begin with its place in Fiction, then notice where the book resists that label.
Read for connection, not completion.

Three questions to carry with you
- What does the central character want, and what do they misunderstand about that desire?

- What feeling or question does the book leave with you after the plot moves on?
