The book I’m reading right now is Girlfriend Material, by Melissa Kantor.
SYNOPSIS – (From Goodreads)
If Kate were Lady Brett Ashley, the devastating heroine of Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises, she’d spend her summers careering around the Riviera in her coupe, breaking hearts by the dozen—because why not? In reality, Kate’s never even had a boyfriend, and she’ll be spending the summer abetting her mom’s lame ploy to make her dad jealous: running off to Cape Cod and crashing at the seaside home of her wealthy friends, the Cooper-Melnicks. To add to the shame, the Cooper-Melnicks’ gorgeous daughter Sarah is a bit like Lady Brett, and she seems less than thrilled to hang out with her new houseguest. Any dreams Kate once had of a perfect summer are ruined.
That is, until Sarah’s cute, witty friend Adam starts drawing Kate into the fold—and seems intrigued. With Adam around, Kate feels like she just might have a bit of heartbreaker potential after all. But when a breezy summer romance quickly grows more complicated can Kate keep pretending her relationship with Adam is just a carefree fling? Or will she take the risk and tell him her real feelings? Suddenly Kate is asking herself a question she never thought she’d stoop to: Is she girlfriend material?
THOUGHTS
Girlfriend Material is just so adorable! I love Kate’s personality. How she puts herself into different novels, or how she imagines herself in her own novel is just so cute! And thank God that Melissa Kantor wrote this in first person because if it was in third, I wouldn’t get to hear all the funny and crazy things that Katie is thinking. Her thoughts about Sarah and Adam (specifically) just crack me up! The first 100 pages of Girlfriend Material will have you laughing out loud right away.

“Honey, I told you to drop it, and I was serious, okay?” His voice was sharp.
“Sorry,” I said. I thought he’d say he was sorry too, but he didn’t. Then he asked me how everything was going, and I just said, “Okay.” I really didn’t feel like talking to him anymore, so I told him I had to go, and we said goodbye.
I felt awful when I hung up the phone. My dad had just basically told me to shut up. My mom was flirting with another an.
Just a month ago I’d actually thought we were a reasonably happy family.
