New Book Releases I’m Excited For – November

I am back once again with another post about new books that are being released very soon that I am excited about! I love finding out about new books to read soon and get so excited for them to be released. There are a lot of incredible books coming out in November and I cannot wait to read them all! Here are all the November 2020 releases I am excited for!

Rent a Boyfriend by Gloria Chao

“Chloe Wang is nervous to introduce her parents to her boyfriend, because the truth is, she hasn’t met him yet either. She hired him from Rent for Your ’Rents, a company specializing in providing fake boyfriends trained to impress even the most traditional Asian parents.

Drew Chan’s passion is art, but after his parents cut him off for dropping out of college to pursue his dreams, he became a Rent for Your ’Rents employee to keep a roof over his head. Luckily, learning protocols like “Type C parents prefer quiet, kind, zero-PDA gestures” comes naturally to him.

When Chloe rents Drew, the mission is simple: convince her parents fake Drew is worthy of their approval so they’ll stop pressuring her to accept a proposal from Hongbo, the wealthiest (and slimiest) young bachelor in their tight-knit Asian American community.

But when Chloe starts to fall for the real Drew—who, unlike his fake persona, is definitely not ’rent-worthy—her carefully curated life begins to unravel. Can she figure out what she wants before she loses everything?”

Marketed as To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before meets The Farewell, this book sounds absolutely perfect for me! I cannot wait for this one. I’ve heard so many amazing things about Gloria Chao’s writing and her books so I will definitely be picking up a copy of this book and reading it as soon as I can!

Super Fake Love Song by David Yoon

“When Sunny Dae—self-proclaimed total nerd—meets Cirrus Soh, he can’t believe how cool and confident she is. So when Cirrus mistakes Sunny’s older brother Gray’s bedroom—with its electric guitars and rock posters—for Sunny’s own, he sort of, kind of, accidentally winds up telling her he’s the front man of a rock band.

Before he knows it, Sunny is knee-deep in the lie: He ropes his best friends into his scheme, begging them to form a fake band with him, and starts wearing Gray’s rock-and-roll castoffs. But no way can he trick this amazing girl into thinking he’s cool, right? Just when Sunny is about to come clean, Cirrus asks to see them play sometime. Gulp.

Now there’s only one thing to do: Fake it till you make it.”

I enjoyed reading Frankly in Love by David Yoon last year so I am definitely excited for his new novel! I love a good fake dating story, mention it in the synopsis and I will instantly buy it. I cannot wait to read this one as soon as I can and I will definitely be sharing my thoughts.

Here the Whole Time by Vitor Martins

“What would you do if you had to spend the next 15 days with your lifelong crush?

Felipe gets it — he’s fat. Not chubby. Not big-boned. Fat. And he doesn’t need anyone to remind him, which is, of course, what everyone does. That’s why he’s been waiting for this moment ever since the school year began: school break. Finally, he’ll be able to spend some time far away from school and the classmates who tease him incessantly. His plans include catching up on his favorite TV shows, finishing his to-be-read pile, and watching YouTube tutorials on skills he’ll never actually put into practice.

But things get a little out of hand when Felipe’s mom informs him that Caio, the neighbor kid from apartment 57, will be spending the next 15 days with them while his parents are on vacation. Felipe is distraught because A) he’s had a crush on Caio since, well, forever, and B) Felipe has a list of body image insecurities and absolutely NO idea how he’s going to entertain his neighbor for two full weeks.

Suddenly, the days ahead of him that once promised rest and relaxation (not to mention some epic Netflix bingeing) end up bringing a whirlwind of feelings, forcing Felipe to dive head-first into every unresolved issue he has had with himself — but maybe, just maybe, he’ll manage to win over Caio, too.”

I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about this book and I am so excited to get it in my hands! I’ve seen it marketed as ‘for fans of Heartstopper‘ which I mostly certainly am. So, I will definitely be piking up a copy of this book as soon as I can and giving it a read!
