Hot British Boyfriend by Kristy Boyce
Genre: Young Adult Contemporary
Publishing Date: February 9, 2021
After a horrifying public rejection by her crush, Ellie Nichols does what any girl would do: she flees the country. To be more precise, she joins her high school’s study abroad trip to England. While most of her classmates are there to take honors courses and pad their college applications, Ellie is on a quest to rebuild her reputation and self-confidence. And nothing is more of a confidence booster than getting a hot British boyfriend.
When Ellie meets Will, a gorgeous and charming Brit, she vows to avoid making the same mistakes as she did with the last guy she liked. Which is why she strikes up a bargain with Dev, an overachieving classmate who she’s never clicked with, but who does seem to know a lot about the things Will is interested in—if he helps her win over her crush, then she’ll help him win over his.
But even as Ellie embarks on a whirlwind romance, one that takes her on adventures to some of England’s most beautiful places, she still needs to figure out if this is actually the answer to all her problems…and whether the perfect boyfriend is actually the perfect boy for her.

Top 5 Reasons to Read Hot British Boyfriend
- Hot Britsh Boyfriend has great friendships. I love when people don’t seem like they’ll get close, but then they do! These friendships left a big smile on my face.
- Fairy gardens are apparently a thing! I never knew this and now I’m really intrigued. The idea of creating something so small and pretty sounds like fun. I don’t have a green finger, but I just may need to try.
- We may not be able to travel much with the world being the way it is now, but Hot British Boyfriend takes us on an amazing trip! We get to read about London and Venice and amazing things to see there.
- This book is also really about being yourself. I think it’s easy to change yourself for other people to like you, but it’s amazing when a character realizes that they shouldn’t have to do that. That discovery means a lot and I loved how that played out in Hot British Boyfriend.
- Hot British Boyfriend has a cast of amazing side characters. The group Ellie meets and hangs out with while in England are really special. So much so, I honestly wouldn’t mind stories about them. I would definitely hang out with a group like that.
