Tuesday Teaser ~ Reasons I Fell for the Funny Fat Friend

I don't remember who recommended Reasons I Fell for the Funny Fat Friend by Cassie Mae and Becca Ann to me, but I liked the title. I thought it had potential to be different and fun, so I downloaded a sample, which has sat on my kindle for who-knows-how-long. I finally read the sample and immediately bought the book.

Blurb:
It's stupid to fall for your brother's ex. It's even worse to enlist another's help to win the ex over. But Brody is desperate and Hayley, his partner in American Sign Language, is more than willing to lend him a few tips. She’s the school’s ‘matchmaker’, and with her bizarre and positive personality, Brody finds her easy to talk too, even about the most awkward situations. Hayley’s tips seem to be working, but as Brody learns more about his matchmaker, he starts finding reasons to spend time with her, and not the girl he thought he was in love with.

But Hayley isn’t ready to fall for anyone. Labeled the “Funny Fat Friend” within her group, her self image makes it impossible for Brody to share his feelings without Hayley shrugging it off as a joke.

Convincing her Brody can, and did, fall for the “Funny Fat Friend” turns out to be a lot harder than simply falling in love.

Opening:
Reason 1: You know how to sign the word 'balls'
More than half the time, girls who think they're fat really aren't. They're just fatter than the skinniest chick in school. And even that girl thinks she's fat. So when Hayley, my signing partner in American Sign Language shrugs off Josh moo-ing at her as she walks in the room, that's when I figure this girl . . . isn't like most girls.

Teaser:
Part of me wants to laugh the offer off, stick it in a box and chuck it into the Willamette. But the part--probably the stupid, hopeful part--wonders if she could really make it happen.
