Fiction. Literature. Romance. HTML:Breakout sensation Monica Murphy takes the romance genre by storm with the deeply emotional, completely addicting story of Drew and Fable.
 
Temporary. That??s the word I??d use to describe my life right now. I??m temporarily working double shifts??at least until I can break free. I??m temporarily raising my little brother??since apparently our actual mother doesn??t give a crap about either of us. And I always end up as nothing but the temporary girlfriend??the flavor of the week for every guy who??s heard the rumor that I give it up so easily.
 
At least Drew Callahan, college football legend and local golden boy, is upfront about it. He needs someone to play the part of his girlfriend for one week. In exchange for cash. As if that??s not weird enough, ever since he brought me into his world, nothing really makes sense. Everyone hates me. Everyone wants something from him. And yet the only thing Drew seems to want is . . . me.
 
I don??t know what to believe anymore. Drew is sweet, sexy, and hiding way more secrets than I am. All I know is, I want to be there for him??permanently.

This was good. ( )

Well, I did finish it but it's too trashy for me. RIdiculous overwrought stepmother and sensationalist plot that just gets worse and worse with every (predictable) revelation. There's a lot of repetition too with short, short paragraphs that keep saying the equivalent of "It's not real. I can't let [him, her] break my heart...." etc etc.

I'll give the author the benefit of the doubt though because this was a new series and a new genre at the time (2013). She pulls off the alternating points of view between hero and heroine, which is kind of cool (and pretty common now). ( )

For some reason, I really love stories that start off with a couple with a couple who is pretending to be a couple under some pretense or another. This is obviously the premise of One Week Girlfriend. Something about all the pretending makes it all the more satisfying when out couple, Drew and Fable, finally fall for each other.

In One Week Girlfriend, Fable is a college dropout working at a local college bar to make enough money to help take care of her younger brother. Drew is a star football player at the local college. Drew hires Fable to be his girlfriend over Thanksgiving break since he is dealing with some things at home he is hoping his family won’t bring up with a stranger around.

Things go downhill pretty fast as we find out that Drew has all kinds of secrets bottled up just waiting to seep out, and his family is not willing to keep between them. And as he and Fable grow closer he’s not sure he wants to keep them to himself anymore. But the more secrets that come out, the more he tries to push her away, and we quickly learn that some of his past is a bit disturbing.

I thought this was a very good story, much better than I expected (you can only trust Goodreads ratings so much). I enjoyed having the story told from both Drew and Fable’s point of view. It gave us a really good look into what was going on in both character’s mind.

Even though the story was good we were left on a bit of a cliffhanger. There are more books, but the first book was fairly short (177 pages). I thought the book could have just been longer. I haven’t read the second book, although it is longer (210 pages) so maybe that’s the reason for the cliffhanger. We’ll see how Fable and Drew fair in book two, Second Chance Boyfriend. ( )

4/5 marshmellowy stars

I wasn't really sure what to think of this book going in, but I ended up really liking it and I immediately started the second book after I finished this one.

I liked Fable, she was strong, sarcastic, honest and went after what she wanted. She comes from a troubled home - with an alcoholic mother - and jumps at the chance to make 3 grand to pretend to be Drew's girlfriend for a week. I liked the POV of Drew as well and I found myself entertained throughout the entire book and I was sad when the book ended and how it ended.

The writing is good and you can really feel the chemistry between Drew and Fable. One 'revelation' in the book was a little gross - well I thought it was anyway. Though it wasn't much of a suprise with all the hints in the story. But I guess some might not like this book because of this 'development'. It was a more original take on how these two characters got so damaged than most books have, so I was generally pleased with it.

It was a really enjoyable read and I'd recommend it to everyone who loves New adult books.

I decided to read this book one day when I was at the library and started to look around for a book. I enjoyed this story. This is about two people that have some secrets. Drew asks the town girl to be his girlfriend for a week while he goes visits his family. Drew will pay Fable to do this for him. Fable lives with her mother and brother and she works to help support her family. Fable's mother is a drunk and cannot keep a job.

Drew is a jock and comes from a rich family, that has many secrets. Drew and Fable are cute together. It was a nice easy story to read. ( )
