There are so many things I love about YA fantasy boyfriends. They’re brutal and tough, but never to you. They’re otherworldly handsome, and only you’ve caught their eye. And their one facial expression of twinkling eyes and an irritating but charming smirk is not easy to resist. Unfortunately, they only live in the pages of a book. However, I say: Why not make them from scratch at home? There will be no more nights of loneliness and finally you can indulge your inner love-struck teen.
