Outcast Girl vs Pretty Boy is another great story in the Forever Love series. I love how the characters are so supportive of each other, and that no matter what problems arise, they always come together to help make things better. I look forward to Stacey and Hayden’s story next & can’t wait to see what Willow has been up to.
I need to say that I just love this series and all of the characters.
Bianca and Cam’s relationship has been around for a while, but she hasn’t met his parents yet, and while he refuses to introduce her to his parents, she thinks it’s because he’s ashamed of her. Cam just wants to protect her from what really happens in his home. But Bianca, being insecure with her body and after hearing some comments at school, decides she needs to look pretty and thin so Cam likes her.
Meanwhile, Stacey and Hayden become best friends, but when he realizes that his feelings for her go beyond friendship, any breakthroughs in this direction can put everything to lose. Stacey wonders about her feelings for Hayden, since he’s not the kind of guy she would date.
In this book we also had a bit more from Willow, who had a considerable change in her behavior. We could also see more of Harper and Tane.
What really thrilled me was the dinner they prepared for Beck. I really hope you can write a story about Beck and that he can finally find love after all the losses he has suffered.
I loved the story and all the characters involved. I get more and more eager to read about these characters. I highly recommend the reading.
Another exceptional book in this remarkable series. I absolutely love the realism of the emotional rollercoaster the author takes us on through the most thoughtfully created characters I’ve read in YA-fiction in a long time. This series really does have me feeling ALL the feels.
Another brilliant, heart warming story in this series. I’m already looking forward to the next one.
How do you love yourself and feel worthy of love when you feel fat? Or have different hair? Or when you’re the victim of petty jealousy from the mean girls? Bullying comes in many forms and the author hit on a few in this book. It’s not all doom and gloom though there is plenty of love to light the way. This newly made family is on a journey of finding themselves as they work through grief.
Really enjoyed this story and highly recommend the series.
Outcast Girl vs. Pretty Boy is a continuation of Bianca and Cam’s story. This is the fourth book in the series and I definitely recommend reading them together or the story just won’t make sense.
Cam and Bianca are perfect for each other, yet they keep secrets. Not just tiny, insignificant secrets, but big, HUGE, ones that have a direct impact on their relationship. We also get snippets of Stacey and Hayden in here too.
Just like the others in this series, I was engrossed in the story and never noticed how close I was to finishing it until there were no more pages to read. One thing I had to google was ‘Milo’. I was intrigued before but now I know what it is, I’m oh so tempted! Now to find somewhere here in Germany that stocks it!
I loved how this story worked out, with both Cam and Bianca dealing with their issues. I look forward to seeing how their relationship progresses as the story continues. I thoroughly enjoy hearing how Tane and Harper are getting on, so I’m hopeful we will get the same here.
Absolutely need to be read in order and definitely worth it! As recommended by me

When Cam and Bianca are together she is so happy, but other girls don’t understand what he sees in her. Cam’s long time friend, Jaelyn, makes it her mission to flirt with him in front of Bianca in hopes that the couple will break up, and when Cam isn’t around she makes sure she is heard by Bianca making nasty comments about Bianca’s looks. Of course Cam doesn’t see this, or hear the comments, and Bianca is afraid to say anything. Cam absolutely adores his girlfriend, but she keeps hinting that she would like to meet his parents. Since he can’t, and he doesn’t want that to happen, he just makes an effort to change the subject, or distracts Bianca in some other way. Cam is hiding something from his friends for a long time, a secret that his mother insists is not anyone’s business, and must be kept in the family. Bianca doesn’t understand and begins to think that the girls at school are right, and that Cam isn’t willing to introduce her to his parents because of her looks.
Sweet unique, and compelling characters. Bianca learns that changing herself to meet others expectations can be dangerous, that Cam loves her just the way she is, and that he has been protecting her. Cam is convinced by his friends that some secrets shouldn’t be kept, and that he needs to confront his parents and convince them than need to get help from outside the family. Fantastic read with plenty of teenage angst, drama, some bullying, and some surprising twists in the plot. I loved this book and I love this series.
I am voluntarily leaving an honest and non-incentivized review of this ARC.
BIANca and Cam a are in love. But they are so different that Bianca’s insecurities make her struggle with their relationship. Stacey is trying to have a normal life again. Bianca, Missy and Hayden are helping her, but is it enough? The Connell’s Farm is really a place to live and to learn about love, friendship and family. A really awesome book.
Outcast Girl vs Pretty Boy (Forever Love #4) is a ya contemporary romance with an array of characters that entwine together creating a dynasty. This novel touches on intricate topics in a way that exhuberates this authors talent. I love love love this series and this novel so much more than I can express in words. Bianca and Cam are so sweet together and probably my favourite couple in this captivating series. Family secrets exposed, unexpected twists swirling through the pages, and unforgettable character’s. Looking forward to reading the next novel in this explosive series. Best series of 2019 continuing in 2020.
I received a free copy from the author and voluntarily reviewed it.
It feels like I flew through this book. This whole series is awesome so far and once I pick up a new book I just want to keep reading, which was also the case with this one. Outcast Girl vs Pretty Boy was a great read with some really happy and uplifting parts, but also had some hard to read and sad moments. I love how real and realistic it all feels and I love reading about this family.
Outcast Girl vs Pretty Boy again focuses on Bianca and Stacey, as well as Cam and in this book also Hayden. There is the deeper developing relationship between Bianca and Cam, they are dating, but there are a few things that don’t go as smoothly. Bianca doesn’t feel like she belongs, add in some mean girls, insecurities and body image issues and she has a hard time dealing. She doesn’t know how to explain it to Cam and instead she tries to diet, but goes about it all wrongly and starves herself. Then Cam has his home situation he doesn’t want to bring Bianca in to, his father is depressed and drunk and his mother makes excuses for him as she’s afraid. He doesn’t tell them about Bianca. Bianca doesn’t get why she can’t visit his family. These issues come between them and they have to find a way to deal with it before they can move forward. It was hard seeing how they struggled with these things and what they had to go through, but I liked that moment when the truth came to light and how these two really are there for another and care a lot. They are so sweet and awesome together. I really like this couple.
In contrast to the deepening romance between Bianca and Cam, there is the slowly blossoming romance between Stacey and Hayden. Stacey has been hurt badly by her ex and she isn’t ready for another romance, she loves spending time with Hayden as he feels safe and she is 90% sure he is gay. Hayden is such a sweet character and he cares a lot about Stacey, he’s used to getting dumped into the friend zone, but he wants to take a chance to show Stacey what he feels. Their romance is very much in the beginning stages. It was nice to see how close they’ve grown and how good friends they are. I always like friends to lovers romance and that’s the vibe this one has. Stacey doesn’t even see Hayden as potential boyfriend material until a certain scene.
It was a nice contrast having these two very different romances in different stages in the same book. It’s also was great to have the point of views of both twins again. They each have their own issues to deal with, but there are also plenty of scenes with them together. You see how they care about each other, are there for another and also how they view the rest of the family. It was fun to see them interact a bit more together in this book as their friend groups have blended now.
This book deals again with some tough issues, while the grief is slowly fading a bit and making room for other issues, it’s still present in each book and there are quite some scenes where it is obvious what they lost. Stacey is still dealing with the fall out of the last book and now wondering about her friendship with Hayden and figuring out her own feelings. Bianca and Cam both have hard things to deal with in this book and where book 3 only hinted at those topics, in this book those issues are brought front and center.
I felt so bad how Cam had to deal with his home situation. I think he handled it really well, especially the parts at the end. I am just sad it was necessary. And I kept wishing for him to confide in Bianca. Bianca’s story hit me quite hard, I think it’s a very relatable one. She has some insecurities and when some girls at school also say some mean things she feels even worse, she tries to deal with, but handles it all wrong. I was so happy when things finally came to light and the family huddled around her and was there to help her. It was awesome to see how this topic was resolved.
This is such an awesome series. I love reading about this family and the characters all feel so real. They have some tough things to deal with, but it’s also full with such beautiful moments. Like how Bianca and Cam react when they learn what the other is struggling with. They are so sweet together and I really like them as a couple, they are so good together. I really liked seeing them grow closer and dealing with these troubles together eventually.
I also like the focus on the whole family, with how we still see plenty of Harper and Tane, how Willow’s story is slowly progressing on the background (I am really curious about her story), with how the whole family grows tighter, how they live together in the same house and how they are there for each other. It’s wonderful to see. There also is a scene at the end of the book that was so awesome. Beck also is amazing, with how he has taken all these teenager in and how he is trying to do his best. I love how he is there for them, even though he struggles at times as well.
To summarize: this was another awesome read in this series. once I started it I had a hard time putting it down. I wanted to keep reading and see how this story continues. This book focuses on Bianca and Cam’s romancs, they’re dating, but Cam’s home situation and some of the self esteem issues and insecurities Bianca struggle with are getting in their way. There also is the slowly blossoming romance between Stacey and Hayden. Bianca and Cam are so sweet together and I especially liked the later part when all the truths come to light and they grow even closer. Hayden is a great character too and it was great seeing his point of view as well. I think he’ll be great for Stacey and can’t wait to see how that plays out. I love reading about this whole family and seeing everyone’s stories progress with each book. These books feel so realistic, with some though issues the characters have to deal with, but also plenty of beautiful and hopeful moments. I am looking forward to the next book in the series!
