This spinoff of The Replacement Crush featuring Amy and Toff is sure to melt your heart. Shy bookworm Amy McIntyre is about to compete for a dream scholarship, and the only way to win is to transform from sidekick to the heroine of her own life. But that level of confidence has never come easy. The solution? A competition coach. The problem? The best person for the job is the guy she's secretly crushing on...local surfer celebrity Toff Nichols. He’s a player. He’s a heartthrob. He makes her forget basic things, like how to breathe. How can she feel any confidence around him? To her surprise, Toff agrees to help. And he’s an excellent teacher. Amy feels braver—maybe even brave enough to admit her feelings for him. When their late night practices become less about coaching and more about making out, Amy’s newfound confidence wavers. But does Toff really like her or is this just another lesson?

I didn't actually read The Replacement Crush prior to reading this book and I'd imagine that I definitely missed a couple of things that happened between Viv and Dallas. With that being said, it wasn't difficult to piece things together as it was perfectly fine as a standalone.

Toff & Amy are The Most Adorable couple. They definitely landed a spot on my own list of OTP's. Their chemistry alone hooked me from the get-go. There's plenty of great book & social media references but really what we're all here for is the romance: a great slow-burn, friends-to-lovers story with a splash of angst. The ending is also *chefs kiss* too. Loved it!

The Bookworm crush is a YA romance, perfect for people who love to read teen romance... I really like the writing style of Lisa Brown Roberts, it has a perfect amount of humor with some intense emotions.... It's about a bookworm Amy who is preparing for a bookstagram challenge in which she'll get a chance to meet her fav. Romance writer, "Lucinda Amaratto"... But she thinks she lacks the swagger that is needed to win the contest so she asks her fellow schoolmate, childhood friend and most importantly her 'crush' Toff to coach her... Toff who's a surfer🏄 and doesn't like to read at all and especially Romance genre agreed to help Amy out.... And from here starts the story with bickering, teasing and a whole lot of romance.....

I really did enjoy this read. I loved the focus on a book lovers life so much. I also really liked how this book was duel POV story and grew to love both characters. I thought the way the chapters were set up was harder to see who's head you were in, but I really did enjoy the characters. I also liked how this book had a nice cast of side character and would def go and read the other books in this series. I loved the setting of the book store and loved the romanced in this book. This book def had some predicable moments but overall i found the pacing to be not as strong and there was not enough tension in this book to keep me reading all the time. But i did enjoy it!

2.5 maybe? My biggest motivator to finish the book was for it to count towards my goodreads goal, and that pretty much says it all.

As days pass she realises that the only way for to have a chance to win is to be coached by a winner.. Toff.

First of all I was just not the target audience for this book clearly. It's written for a younger audience, and if I read it when I was in high school or a little younger I would have probabl been obsseced with it. It's well written, easy to read and to follow. It's full of references to popular book that all bookworm know about. The plit is great too, there is a real story and goal that drives the characters together, it's well paced. But I'm just too old for it.

I absolutely loved reading this book. It’s perfectly light and the romance is so cute. Actually a perfect summer read but I find those to be all time reads. I’d definitely recommend this book if you like Romance! I couldn’t put it down and also didn’t want to!

Amy McIntyre is serious about the three social media challenges she must complete in order to win a contest in which she could get to meet her favorite author of all time. She is so serious that she asks he long time crush, surf champion Toff Nichols to be her coach and teach her how to become a winner. With each challenge she completes, Amy feels more and more brave, and she credits Toff with helping her find her inner swagger. But as she and Toff spend more and more time together, Amy begins to wonder if Toff is feeling more for her than she thought he ever would. Now she just has to figure out how to make him see it.

The Bookworm Crush is an excellent sequel to The Replacement Crush. We see through Toff's antics and bravado to his inner insecurities about his father's impending marriage to Rose, his future as a surfer, and his growing feelings for Amy. At the same time, Amy's developing confidence and independence get stronger and more pronounced as she begins to see herself as Toff does. My only reservation about this book is that the physical relationship between Toff and Amy seems to happen a little too quickly for two high school students who are still not sure of how they feel about each other, but overall, The Bookworm Crush is a sweet YA romance with strong themes of female empowerment and facing one's fears.
