Why the hell can’t chicks be more like guys?
That question plagues high school senior Sam Cruz. Sam is perfectly happy being a player. He just wishes girls wouldn’t change the game from sex to relationships. It makes him look like an asshole. But when Sam’s best friend, Ally Klinger, gets dumped, she begs him to transform her into someone who can screw around then screw off. No risk of heartbreak that way. It’s Sam’s chance to create the perfect female AND cheer up his best friend. Armed with Sam’s Three Step Guide to Backseat Success, Ally gets the game better than Sam thought she would and before long, Sam has his wish: the female version of himself. Too bad it’s driving him nuts. Told from Sam’s and Ally's alternating POVs, Sam Cruz’s Infallible Guide to Getting Girls is a fast-paced YA romantic comedy that follows these teens as they navigate the minefield of sex, love, and friendship.
This contemporary teen romance contains strong language, drinking, euphemisms, and lots of “bow chicka wow wow.”

You will never get
bore as Sam Cruz gives pointers to his best friend Allie Klinger on how to get
boys after getting dumped.
Though, never in a
million years would he ever think that he’d create a monster.
Sam is a player. He is
content, and happy about it. He wished girls would do the same, and can separate
great-no-strings-attached-sex and real relationships. It may paint him in a bad
light most of the time, but he really doesn’t care.
NOT UNTIL
His best friend since
diapers, Ally Klinger was dumped, begs him to transform her into someone like
him who sleeps around and leave without looking back. It would save her heart
from another heartache. This is a chance for Sam to make the perfect FEMALE
version of him. He just didn’t realize that he might create a monster. Ally
gets a hold of the GAME and gets to become a great player. After all, she learned
from the best. It was driving him a little insane.
What he didn’t expect
is the sudden hard-on he was sporting with her, the sudden urge of wanting to
kiss her and that feeling of wanting to wring someone else’s neck when they
look at her.
It’s a familiar plot,
but it didn’t make it any less romantic or fun. I love watching Sam transform
Ally, I just knew he’s going to regret it. I like watching him pout as Ally
spread her wings and date. But what I loved the most is watching them finally
realizing that there is no perfect for the both of them than each other – it may
have taken them a while but it was all worth it. The novel would not be
complete without the secondary characters as well. You will just adore them as
much as Ally and Sam.
I enjoyed reading this
novel. Tellulah Darling wrote a novel that is laced with great humor, a lot of euphemism,
and amazing storyline.
