A 'prank war' is never going to be something I particularly enjoy reading, but sadly I couldn't even get past that to try and enjoy the romance or the rest of the story.

The permise of this book did sound really interesting to me which is why I originally requested it but it did become a book that lay unread for so long then when I did give it a shot it was not what I thought it was going to be so I did Dnf this one, so there for I will be giving it a middle of the road rating

This book is the perfect summer contemporary romance, a little more than just the will they won't they book but it is why I really like YA Romance, a cheesy love-struck teen book that is lighthearted for most of it. This is a good story however it's a little the same as some of the other romances recently. I will certainly keep an eye out for any other books by this author though

A good young adult book, I liked the book it wasn't anything special. It entertained me to some extent, I liked the story and we all love the bad boy trope that's for sure.

Thank you so much to the publishers and Netgalley for giving me access to this book. Unfortunately my tastes have changed and I am no longer interested in this book but once again thank you so much for the opportunity!

I got to this book a few years after it was published, originally I believe on Wattpad and then picked up by Ink Road. After a few darker reads, A Bad Boy Stole My Bra was just the tonic I needed – a pure, cute teenage read which was light-hearted but at the same time touched on some darker things which kept me hooked.

Riley and her mum are intrigued to discover they have new neighbours, but little did Riley know that just a little while later she would be introduced to the cute boy next door, Alec, during the night when as part of a dare, he is in her bedroom stealing her Mickey Mouse bra. This is where the fun and the pranks begin as Riley goes on a hunt to not only get her bra back but also to get her revenge on her annoying new neighbour. However, along the way she discovers that maybe there is more to Alec than meets the eye.

This was definitely a feel-good read from beginning to end. I loved the authenticity to the teenage characters. This book was written by a teenager and that helped bring the characters to life as they felt true and realistic. The representation of some of the high-school students here did have its stereotypes but at the same time all the characters seemed believable. Lauren Price balances the laid-back nature of some with the hormones and confusing feelings and dramas and stresses and anxieties and demons that get a grip of others’ self-esteem. I thought Riley and Alec were both well-rounded characters. Although we don’t get to know Alec quite as well, he is mysterious enough to be fascinated by but also real enough to care for and root for. I was all in to his and Riley’s slow-burning romance and fully invested in a hopefully happy ending to the story for them both.

Riley was an entertaining narrator to the book and as the reader it is easy to get lured into her messy thoughts and awkward moments. It’s clear early on that she has her secrets and she is not very forgiving to herself. She sees herself as a bit of a loner with only her best friend Violet on her side but further on you can tell that people do like her – maybe she just doesn’t like herself. I enjoyed getting to know her and also finding out what was making her pull back and hide things from the people she cared about.

Violet’s character was a joy and I would have liked to have seen more of her. There were many supporting characters here and I particularly liked some of Alec’s friends. This book could have been made longer and more well-rounded if we had got to know them more, but as side characters they did their job and kept every chapter fresh with plenty of laugh out loud moments throughout.

Overall, A Bad Boy Stole My Bra was an amusing and uplifting book with all the jokes and cheesy one-liners nicely contrasted with the angst and drama I love in a young adult novel. I would definitely recommend it for those looking for a sweet summer read.

A wonderful read with charming characters and an engaging plot!! I look forward to reading more by this author.

This was a great quick read, perfect for teenagers, it reminded me of Louise Rennison’s writing. I enjoyed the ending and think the young teen audience will as well.

This book will make you laugh and smile from beginning to end. One of the best coming of age books I've read in a long time. This author has a long and true future in writing books.

A charming, light-hearted story which although as cheesy as you would expect, was enjoyable all the same. With cliché high school drama, partying and teenage jealousy, this is perhaps suited for more of a younger audience. Nonetheless, if you're looking for a quick, fun read, this might be for you!

I really enjoyed this book and found it funny, refreshing and such an enjoyable read! It's clever and not too cliche and is definitely along the same sort of writing as Louise Rennison (which I'm sure has been said a lot). The characters were very loveable too!

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book sounded like it would be funny from the synopsis and I loved the title.

The bra stealing incident happened very early on and it was the only humourous moment unless all the cheesy one liner pickups are counted.

This book was very YA and had all the drama of school with mean girls, friend ship fall outs, he said she said chat and the over use of the word grasshole(?)

Alec is the new boy who moves next door to Riley. He is hot and had lived in the area previously (unbeknownst to Riley) and has slotted back in with the popular boys. Riley and her friend Violet keep to themselves. Alec changes that and takes an interest in Riley.

After a lot of does he, does she, will they,won’t they moments the tension is eased with a kiss however queue the drama moment that leads to blackmail, tears and a fallout before everything is resolved with a HEA.

The book had a few inconsistencies in it with promises of picking up Riley’s little brother and family nights neither of happened.

I think this book would be suited for those in their early-mid teens. There are a few sexual references but nothing more than kissing throughout.

I wanted to like this book however I think it is just too young for me or I’m too old for it!!

I LOVED THIS ONE SO, SO MUCH!!! You can tell it’s written by a teenager in how AUTHENTIC it feels. It’s charming and has depth and made me feel like butterflies were prancing around inside my stomach, exactly how I felt when I was a teenager with an intense crush. The relationship between the protagonist and her love interest, Alec, was amazing, and had: emotional depth, amazing friendship and so, so much chemistry.

It hits up the tropes of ‘next door neighbours turned friends turned slow burn <3’, as well as prank wars and pigtail pulling. It also did a great job of deconstructing what it means to be ‘a bad boy’, and how that could easily mean outcast in a different setting.

‘They were ridiculous with each other, and kind, building up walls and cracking them down, and is one of the realest YA books I can remember reading. Which is odd since in many other ways this book is total wish fulfilment in a way that just WORKED. I will read this book so many times, I’m sure. This book was an ARC from NetGalley and I completely intend on buying it. Alec/Riley OTP!

A little immature for my taste, this book did not hit the spot for this 22 year old. The voice just didn’t read well in my opinion which left me a bit frustrated. May be better suited for a slightly younger audience.

I remember first coming across this on Wattpad, when the title was The Bad Boy Stole My Bra (i'm not sure why the title was changed to such a minor degree) and I never read it there, but was excited to see a fellow wattpader get published. This is a very lighthearted story, with a slightly amateur style that I found offputting at times. All in all, it was fine, but a bit shallow.

A Bad Boy Stole My Bra was just as cliche and cheesey as you'd expect and more, but damn was it fun to read.

Basically this reads like a basic high school drama story with all the typical aspects: bad boy/good girl romance, heavy back stories, jealous classmates and lots of partying and teenage adventures. Also, it features a f/f relationship, one member of it being the love interest's mom, which is always amazing.

If you're looking for a quick, fun read, this is the one for you!

So this book is about a girl and her new hot popular neighbour who happens to steal her bra before school begins. We follow these characters and learn how similar they are to each other, both with their own amounts of baggage.
We watch them bicker with each other and there is a big will-they-wont-they get together that also follows along with the story. It's hard not to ship them especially when all their friends do too.
Overall, this was such a cute and funny read. I remember staying up until late reading this on wattpad and gushing over Alec. I loved the hilarious use of pick up lines. Those moments are my fave.
This book had me dying with laughter.
I would definitely recommend this. :)
Thank you for giving me a chance to read this.

This is such a fun and sweet contemporary YA. book. With a genre that is inundated with similar stories, this one stands out because of it’s unique voice and great writing. Really enjoyed it.

First I want to thank Netgalley for providing me with and arc of this book in return for an unbiased review.

I absolutely loved this book!
When I first started it I thought I wasn’t going to get into it but as I read and got to know our main characters I found I couldn’t put this book down.
There was so much amazing witty banter and chemistry between them I actually laughed out loud a few times.
Overall this book surpassed my expectations and totally blew me away!
I give it a fully deserved 5 stars.

I was first introduced to this story about 5 years ago on Wattpad and I absolutely loved it. I made a tradition of going back to it every year for a reread so when I saw that it was actually published I got so excited for the author and for the sheer fact that this awesome story was given a bigger platform. However, I did not enjoy it as much as I used to this time around. There were some obvious changes that I wasn`t a big fan of. I felt like the relationships between the characters were underdeveloped and a lot of my favourite storylines didn`t make the final edit. Another thing that was way better in the original version, in my opinion, is the humour. The character development was also not all there. Overall, a disappointing reading experience for me. I don`t know if it`s because I was younger and my reading tastes have immensely changed and I was just playing it up in my head to be this amazing book or if the published version truly ruined the original. I am giving it a 3-star rating, not because of the novel but because of the sentimental value these characters and story have for me, it`s a totally biased rating.
