Anatomy of a Boyfriend by Daria Snadowsky
3.0
I was honestly kind of expecting this to be a hate read but I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. The relationship between Wes and Dom felt really realistic. And the way the author described the sex scenes in that completely no bars un-romanticized way was really refreshing (similar to Judy Blume's writing).
The only thing that really bothered me was Dom's attitude. She did that totally teen girl thing where she makes her life start to revolve around a boy. Dom was extremely bratty and immature throughout the book. She got irrationally angry and jealous over little things and she definitely took the "crazy girlfriend" stereotype seriously. Her friend, Amy, was really great I wish we got a little more of her, but she was kind of put on the sidelines for Wes. Amy was extremely patient and sympathetic with Dominique and a really amazing friend considering she had to deal with Dominique's bitchy crazy girlfriendness.
Anyway I'm kind of happy with how it ended and I won't be reading the sequel just because I feel like it doesn't need it. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a quick and hilarious read. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Spoiler
she did the thing where she decides to give up her college to go to the one he wants to go to and is completely unbothered when her dream college doesn't accept her. Fortunately she did the smart thing and went to her second choice which was offering a half ride scholarship instead of following Wes to NYU.Anyway I'm kind of happy with how it ended and I won't be reading the sequel just because I feel like it doesn't need it.
