The boyfriend bid is an enjoyable easy read. It’s cliche but I liked it all the same.

Chance is a misunderstand jock. He’s popular but still has insecurities. He’s a nice guy.

Sarah is a girl with a broken heart. Her last bf was a jerk and she isn’t looking for a replacement. Her friends want her to get over her ex and take her out to the bidding auction. They have the intention of finding her a safe date.

The dating bid gives Sarah and Chance 6 weeks to get to know each other.

This is well written and fairly predictable. It’s what you think it’s going to be with a swoon-worthy ending.

This book was just so darn cute. Sarah and Chance each had some baggage and things to work through, but they were adorable together. The blogging thing and camera following them around seemed a little unrealistic for a high school newsletter, but besides that, it was a cute story. Very enjoyable.

so in a strange coincidence, the boyfriend bid has a bit in common with an accidental date with a billionaire. except this is the young adult version. there's a charity bid and working for habitat fr humanity. but this prickly heroine, sarah campbell, has been cheated on by her ex-boyfriend and kind of down with love.

meanwhile chance dupont just moved to a new high school and is basically a total dreamboat. like sarah is super duper mean to him most of the time, and he's totally smitten. and for being a jock and cute and hot, he's humble and completely unaware of his dreamboat status. and he knows that sarah is a total basketcase who is afraid of commitment and does such a good job of respecting her boundaries that she doesn't even realize he is completely in love with her.

i know i'm making it seem as if sarah is completely unlikeable, but that really isn't it. she's lost and confused and gun-shy, he just is super dreamy. anyway, this is a very sweet and enjoyable read.

Sarah and Chance are adorable in this will they or won't they get together YA romance. Starting with a bid, their dating takes off but dating for the camera isn't what they had in mind. The characters were cute, the story was good and it was just the light YA romance I was looking for today. Thank you netgalley for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

Sarah has been burned by boys before and is reluctant to start anything with new student Chance - no matter how different he is from her ex. When her best friends' good intentions result in a series of charity dates between the two, Sarah and Chance decide to make the most of it by turning their dates into articles for the paper to drum up more publicity for a cause close to their hearts. But when casual becomes more serious, will either of them risk getting hurt by admiting how they feel about one another?

This was a fun teen romance with 2 well developed characters. Both Sarah and Chance are likeable and I enjoyed how the author brough to light some wonderful volunteer opportunities through their "dates."

I'm a fan of Crush's books, and this time it exceeded my expectations. The book brings a story exactly the way I like, full of doubts, romantic moments, moments that I wanted to get in the story and shake the couple, moments of pure emotion.



Sarah is a sweet girl, loyal, studious and determined to attend a good university but that dream is harder to reach than she imagined. She is trying to recover after her ex-boyfriend broke her heart and the last thing she needs now is to fall in love with the new boy at school.



Chance was transferred from another city after a difficult time in his old school. His focus now is to study, dedicate himself to the soccer team and work, everything to please his father who is never satisfied and always blame him for everything. When he learns which institution would benefit from a charity auction at the school, he agrees to have a few meetings auctioned. What he did not imagine was that the girl who would win would be the one capable to change everything he thinks he wants.



At first, it was difficult to get along but gradually at each date they are fond of each other and begin to wonder if the other feels the same connection. Their dates are a little crazy because of some blog post between but are very beautiful, Chance is a perfect and extremely romantic boy who almost makes me enter the book and steal him for me.



I loved their interaction with their friends and the way the writer best conquered the point of conflict. It was light and cute read, perfect for sunny, warm evenings.



The only thing I would change in the book would be the cover that in no way matches the love story of Chance and Sarah.

Sweet, funny and entertaining!

I really enjoyed reading The Boyfriend Bid. It’s a sweet and funny story. There are a few cliques but I liked the story nevertheless. Sarah and Chance were two lovely characters and I really enjoyed their story and how they started to fall for each other.

The story was really funny – especially the chapters before and at the auction, where Sarah “won” Chance. I could really fell the awkwardness there. And everything that comes after is just really sweet.
Altogether it’s a lovely young adult romance and I really enjoyed reading it.

I received a copy of THE BOYFRIEND BID on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the publisher and author for the opportunity.

FIVE STARS! And here’s why:

LOVED IT! What a fast-paced, enjoyable read. Jodie Andrefski delivers a flirty read that kept me reading all night long! Sarah is dealing with typical teen issues like family, money, parents’ divorce and a recent break-up. Chance is the usually misunderstood jock who wants more out of life. It’s your typical enemies to lovers situation where they’re supposed to go on a date for charity but it morphs into six dates thanks to a blogger who tags along to report on the whole thing. What happens next is a hilarious rom-com, but also a heartwarming romance. If you love sexy guys who fall for savvy girls, then this book is for you. Highly recommend.

A sweet story about falling in love with someone you don't expect.

Sarah didn't bid on a date with Chance but she still ended up winning. Chance had just wanted to participate because the auction supported a good cause.

I liked the set up for this story, and while I enjoyed it, the characters and plot just didn't hook me. I think I just didn't see the evolution of their feelings very well from crush to both saying - internally at least- that they were in love.

My favorite part was how both Chase and Sarah care about volunteering and causes like Habitat For Humanity and St. Jude's. It was so nice to see them both featured.

This was in no way what I was expecting. The plot followed two people who weren't alike faking a relationship for charity. What starts as a one sided hate fest turns into something more.
I enjoyed the sweet side of the story and the fact that some prejudice the Sarah had seems to disappear the more she realizes not all people are the same. In the beginning I didn't really enjoy the fact she generalized sports players as being dumb.
Overall a sweet read that keeps you smiling throughout.

Thank you for allowing me to read an early copy on NetGalley

This was a quick and enjoyable read. First time reading a book by Jodie Andrefski and I really enjoyed it. Finished it in a couple of hours.

Sarah is half Italian and half African American. She has had her heart broken. So naturally she has some trust issues. Chance is a popular jock. The soccer star. He has a difficult relationship with his father. He's also really kind and caring.

Sarah's friends end up bidding on Chance for Sarah to date at a bidding auction. But in order for the soccer team to get the money they have to pretend date. Can they keep it pretend? Or will feelings get in the way?

Overall this was a cute read. A great book to just unwind with.

This was a fast fun read. I loved it. I will definitely read more from this author.
This was the perfect YA, contemporary romance book.

Thanks to NetGalley for a review copy! I loved this book so much!! It is such a quick easy read, which is something I am ALWAYS in the mood to read. This book reminded me how much I love YA contemporary/romance! I loved the characters, I loved the writing, some might not like that the book is predictable but who cares?!

This was a quick enjoyable read by a new author for me who I would read again. Her characters were engaging and fun and quirky.
Having teens around our house very true to life. Totally something I could see a group of my daughter’s drama friends doing for her.
It had the things you would expect to find. Sarah dealing with parents and family issues. Yet, her dealings with being thoughtful, that money issues with the divorce was hard on her mom, and she was grateful, is a nice thing to hear.
Being dumped not wanting to date. And what I thought was interesting was that the ex’s reaction. And all the comments of his teammates in favor of Sarah. A total plus.
Enjoyed that for the most part, Sarah is a strong confident young girl who knows her likes and dislikes. Yet, you see her gooey middle that shows she has been hurt making her unsure at times as to how her judgment is working for her.
Things I had a problem with it was where the advisor for the class? When the crazy editor chick went haywire? Why didn’t Sarah and Chance say no to a lot of her request, no really her, orders? That’s just me but I know you need conflict, so just me.
Sweet book if your looking for a quick fun read this is for sure one. I give this: 4 stars. Provided by netgalley.com.

The Boyfriend Bid by Jodie Andrefski a five-star read you would bid on. This was such a great story, my first by this author and I hope not my last, it was sweet and romantic wit twists to keep you interested, there was a drama running along side and that was great, but it didn’t detract from the great story. Sarah Campbell was a great character and one you could get with, you can imagine her heading down the corridor and hammering nails. I love the way the author describes the minor details making you feel like you are part of the story, you are there with them smelling the sawdust and book dust. Pick this up if you want sweet romance that you will adore.

The Boyfriend Bud by Jodie Andrefski
Wow this was such a great little book made you believe in the fairy tale love story! I hope there are many books to come!!
5 stars

The concept of this book was cute. Role reversal on dating bids, but at a high school level for cancer awareness. The plot is a-typical. Sarah is hurt and burdened by an old boyfriend and Chase is too similar at first for her to separate them. Romance that was never supposed to be romance and a couple who is hiding their feelings from each other in a way that may damage their future relationship.

The characters are well put together with back stories that help to understand their potential growth. I feel like there were points made about Chase's brother Alex and his father that never really turned into anything or went into further detail. Maybe that isn't an important part to their love story, but it important to Chase's character and why he does the auction to begin with. I just felt like that was missing from the story and needed to be there. There was a part with Chase and Doug (Sarah's ex) that I didn't understand. Either it was meant to mean something and elaborated on/made into something more or it shouldn't have been there. Without giving away spoilers, I would have liked to see that go somewhere.

Overall, the story was good. It was a sweet high school romance story that was a quick read. If you can get past a few missing pieces, or (to me what seemed like) unfinished story board thought processes, then it is well worth the read.

<b>What’s this book about you ask?</b>
It’s about a girl and a boy who are pushed together by their schools “boyfriend bid” which makes them go on 6 dates together, even though that’s the last thing either of them want to do. It’s a story about high school love ——-

They start off on the wrong foot after an incident involving a car and immediately were weird around each other which I didn’t entirely understand since one person in this pairing in particular could’ve just....I dunno....been nice?

This was a cute teenage love story that would be good for a day where you just want some romance. This was a 3/5 stars for me because I just couldn’t see any real chemistry between them and was distracted by all the unnecessary drama between them, but hey—that’s a teenage love story right there.

<i>I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. ARC provided by publisher via Netgalley <3 Thank you!</i>

Super cute and very sweet YA romance. The characters were great, and the storyline was original enough to keep me engaged and not wanting to stop reading. This is a wonderful quick and light read for anyone looking for a solidly written YA story with enough difficulties and character development to make it a worthwhile read.

The plot of The Boyfriend Bid gave me serious One Tree Hill vibes, which I loved. One of my favorite episodes in that show is when the basketball team on there has an auction for the team and I just love the whole thing so that was what drew me in. This book had soccer players instead and there was a unique spin and someone ended up winning 6 weeks of dates with the main guy character.

I thought the majority of the book was cute, though I admit I wasn't as hooked as I thought it was. I did like all of the friendships in this book though and I definitely want to read The Girlfriend Request so this is still rated high because The Boyfriend Bid made me want to check more of Jodie's works out. That's always a good sign with me still. I did like the ending and I liked how light and easy this book was once I got into it more.

Thank you Netgalley and publishers for giving me the chance to read this book. This has no impact on my thoughts. My thoughts are my own.
