The Boyfriend Launcher (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780316372640)

To find the right guy, Dru Eason will have to date the wrong one in this sweet teen rom-com perfect for fans of Lynn Painter and Kasie West.

When soccer star Dru Eason's longtime crush Kai finally asks her out, she can't say no. She also can't say yes. Not when she knows things with him will end just as they have with all of her exes. They'll date, break up, and in a matter of days he'll become someone else's perfect boyfriend.

Because Dru is The Boyfriend Launcher.

To buy time to figure out why this keeps happening, Dru negotiates a no-dating pact with her team for the duration of the playoffs--twenty-four days. Then she asks Winston Portis, one of her best friends, to secretly fake-date her. Maybe after some feedback on what it's like being her boyfriend, she can take her chance with Kai and keep him far away from the launchpad.

But is twenty-four days enough time to uncover her issues? Or is it just long enough for Dru to wonder: Has she been overlooking the perfect boy, or is she just launching Winston for the next girl? And is she finally brave enough to take a shot at finding out?
