About this ebook

He's absolutely perfect.
If only he were real.

Lane and Vivi have had it with Isabelle Hunter's boyfriend, Shawn Littig (a.k.a. Sluttig). He is the only person who can turn their smart, confident best friend into a complete mess. When Shawn Sluttig cheats on and dumps Izzy just months before the prom she's been planning since the ninth grade, Lane and Vivi decide to take action.

With a few quick keystrokes, they create a MySpace page for "Brandon," the perfect guy to get Izzy out of her revolving-door relationship with Shawn. Too bad he's totally fake. Vivi's younger brother, Marshall, who they hire to be the "man" behind the profile, is way too into being Izzy's fake boyfriend. So they turn to cute, prep-school Jonathan to be the face of Brandon. But when Vivi falls for Jonathan, and Sluttig tries to wedge his way back into Izzy's prom picture, the whole plan starts to go south faster than you can say "fake boyfriend."

Lane and Vivi have had it with Isabelle Hunter’s boyfriend, Shawn Littig (aka sluttig). He’s the only person who can turn their smart, confident best friends into a complete mess. When Shawn Sluttig cheats on and dumps Izzy just months before the prom she’s been planning since 9th grade, Lane and Vivi decide to take action. With a few quick keystrokes, they create a MySpace page for “Brandon,” the perfect guy to get Izzy out of her revolving door with Shawn. Too bad he’s totally fake. Vivi’s younger brother, Marshall, who they hire to be the “man” behind the profile, is way too into being Izzy’s fake boyfriend. So they turn to cute, prep-school Jonathan to be the face of Brandon. But when Vivi falls for Jonathan, and sluttig tries to wedge his way back into Izzy’s prom picture, the whole plan starts to go south faster than you can say “fake boyfriend.” Fake Boyfriend is a laugh out loud read. We all want the best for our friends’ right? How could you blame Lane and Vivi for trying to help their friend Isabell? When Isabell and her on again off again boyfriend Shawn are officially off, months before the prom, Izzy freaks. Lane and Vivi use a little creativity to help get their friend out of her funk. Isabell starts to fall for the fake guy Brandon but what happens when it looks like Izzy won’t get the prom of her dreams?I really liked this book. I thought that there was a lot of starting and stopping but otherwise I loved it. The cover is also totally cute. The colors are really cool and I totally love the doll. So cute! Kate Brian is my ultimate favorite author. I really liked the character Jonathan who plays Izzy's perfect guy. I thought he was funny and cute and overall a good guy. Looking for more Kate Brian? She's written many other books like my favorite series Private!

Everything goes perfectly for Isabelle Hunter. It always has. Until the day her on-again/off-again boyfriend, Shawn "Sluttig" Littig, breaks up with her. And just a few months away from her prom. Isabelle has been dreaming of the prom for years. She's so obsessed with the prom she's created a notebook that has every last detail of the dream night planned out. Her friends Lane and Vivi have never approved of Shawn and decide to do whatever they can to keep him out of Isabelle's life permanently. They hatch a plan to create a fake boy on MySpace to divert Isabelle's thoughts from Shawn. Isabelle shows interest in the fictitious Brandon, and so Vivi convinces her younger brother, Marshall, to start chatting with Isabelle on-line. Soon Isabelle thinks Brandon would be ideal to go to the prom with. The only problem is she doesn't know he doesn't exist! So Vivi and Lane have to come up with a real guy, and quick! The two girls go everywhere to meet the right guy, but to no avail. Only after joining Vivi's mom for some play auditions do they spy the perfect guy, Jonathan. After much coercing, they get Jonathan to join forces with them to be the "real" Brandon. The only catch is that soon Jonathan is showing interest in someone else. Of course the reader can figure out that there are going to be complications with the story. Only the twists aren't what one would expect! Isabelle thinks about taking Shawn back, Vivi gets confused when her younger brother starts to get cool, Vivi is crushing on someone she shouldn't, and Lane can't get the nerve to tell her friend Curtis she wants to be more than friends. FAKE BOYFRIEND is another fun read by Ms. Brian. She has hit on another popular topic, using MySpace as the basis for creating a mysterious new boyfriend. The story will not disappoint current fans of Ms. Brian, and should create new ones at the same time!

i liked it alot the end was so surprising and i loved it but i didnt like how the story wasnt really in any charachters point of view but i think it was still pretty good .
