Change is the only permanent thing in the world, but not all change is good.

I have loved Ryan Ringbloom’s novel ever since I got my hands on her Flaw series. But Fake Boobs is different.

It’s a story of a girl with so much esteem problem I wanted to go inside the novel and give her a mirror. I hated that the people around Tori affirmed her thoughts about herself. It didn’t help at all. At eighteen, she had zero confidence, no love life, no experience at all. She settled with being in the background, craving a little attention – and it makes her a little vulnerable to advances.

Grant is a great guy – he was a knight in shining armor, only if he was brave enough to fight for his feelings rather than running away. He likes her, he wanted to be with her – but she’s young and inexperienced. He didn’t want to break the bro-code. But he did, and it was probably the best thing that ever happened to him, to them.

Something happened though, that made him rethink his decision. The best thing to do is to just turn around and walk away – only that it was probably the worst thing he did. It sealed the coffin to her confidence.

Years later, she was back. She was very different, she had gained confidence – but why isn’t she happy? Meeting Grant along the way, she thought she was ready to throw the new her into his face. What she didn’t expect was to be caught off-guard with her feelings for him still.

The bracelet he gave her was still on her wrist, it had given Grant a sense of hope. He wanted her in his life again – with or without the change. He didn’t like the new Tori too much, he prefers the old one who keeps on popping up every now and then in the most unexpected circumstances.

Overall, the novel was great – but that tiny part where I get to be inside Grant’s mind and realize I had a flashback of the previous scene. It would have been grand if the story continued in an alternate POV – that way it would have been told flawlessly.

Real love will look through your imperfections. It accepts your shortcomings, and love you for everything that you are. Perhaps, Grant isn’t just good with words, and Tori had cemented an opinion of herself. It took a while, and a whole lot of changes before they realize their mistakes. I was glad it wasn’t too late. Yep, there were some road blocks along the way, a string of heartbreaks and blow to the self-esteem, but the ending was totally perfect.
