The Ivy Years Book 2.5: Blonde Date by Sarina Bowen

The Ivy Years Book 2.5

A blind date. A nervous sorority girl. A mean-spirited fraternity prank. What could possibly go wrong?

As a sorority pledge, there are commandments that Katie Vickery must live by. One: thou shalt not show up for the party without a date. Two: the guy shall be an athlete, preferably an upperclassman.

Unfortunately, Katie just broke up with her jerkface football player boyfriend. Even worse, her last encounter with him resulted in utter humiliation. She’d rather hide under the bed than attend a party where he'll be.

Yet staying home would mean letting him win.

Enjoying herself tonight was out of the question. She could only hope to get through the evening without her blind date noticing that he was spending the evening with a crazy person.

Andrew Baschnagel is living proof that nice guys don’t finish first. He’s had his eye on Katie since the moment her long legs waltzed into his art history class. So when her roommate sets Andy up to be Katie’s date, he’d be crazy to say no. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have a lot of practice with either girls or parties. Yet.

BLONDE DATE is a 23,000 word novella covering a four hour span of Katie & Andy's night. ALSO INCLUDED: a sneak preview of the third novel in the Ivy Years series, THE UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE YEAR.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

I loved this novella! It was such a cute and fun story about Katie and Andrew. Both of whom you meet in The Year We Hid Away. Now we get a story with their point of view and their story. And both of them are adorable. You learn about Katie asking Andrew to be her date in the previous book and now we get to see how it went. At first Katie is worried about running into her ex at the party, but after confessing an embarrassing secret with Andrew, he surprises her and turns the night into a fun one. As they get to know one another and enjoy their date, they realize that something is definitely sparking between the two of them. A really cute story about two characters that I definitely wanted to learn more about after meeting them. If you liked the books so far in the series, make sure you don't skip this one!
