![]() ![]() She teams up with her BFF Franklin Park (also a budding fashion prodigy) on a ridiculous plan to find herself a boyfriend for this last year of high school. Here's what this book is actually about: Extremely confident fashion designer Stella Patterson is about to start her senior year. ![]() My surprise, it turns out, was that the whole Boyfriend Bracket idea was suggested, executed, and over and done with in about 60 pages. ![]() Who would Stella take to Homecoming in the end? I was ready to be surprised! (While also hoping there wouldn't be so much sports jargon that I would get lost.) I imagined that this book would feature one quirky girl named Stella, at least eight (thank goodness it wasn't 16!) guys of diverse backgrounds and interests, and 16 dates filled with awkwardness, mishaps, a little fun, and maybe even a little magic. In a bracket-smashing year like 2018, even the most sportsball illiterate of us became familiar with March Madness after 16th-seeded UMBC's upset over number one ranked University of Virginia. The tagline on the cover read like a movie poster, "8 Boys, 16 Dates, 1 Perfect Boyfriend." The longer version: I was intrigued by the title of Kate Evangelista's new book The Boyfriend Bracket. The short version: I loved this book! I was also very confused by this book. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.
