Genre: Young Adult Contemporary

Publishing Date: June 13, 2023

Synopsis:

When a girl overhears a guy getting verbally destroyed by his friends for being catfished, she jumps in to save the day—and pretends to be his online crush. A young adult romance from the critically acclaimed author of Places We’ve Never Been.

Wren is used to being called a control freak. She doesn’t care; sticking to the list of rules she created for herself helps her navigate life. But when a cute guy named Asher walks through the door of her neighborhood coffee shop, the rulebook goes out the window.

Asher is cute, charming . . . and being catfished by his online crush. So Wren makes an uncharacteristically impulsive decision—she pretends to be the girl he’s waiting for to save him from embarrassment. Suddenly she’s fake-dating a boy she knows nothing about. And it’s . . . amazing.

It’s not long before Asher has her breaking even more of her own rules. But will he forgive her when he finds out she’s not who she says she is? Wren’s not so sure. . . . After all, rules exist for a reason.

REVIEW 

Borrow My Heart is a fun YA summer contemporary that follows Wren, the girl who is all about control, until she sees Asher in the midst of being humiliated when the girl he met online ghosts him in front of his best friend. Wren decided to save him, pretending she is the mysterious online girl and while she stops the humiliation, Asher believes her too. Worst of all, Asher is nice and gives great hugs and suddenly Wren doesn’t want to tell the truth and lose him forever. 

This one takes fake dating to a new level! I was was very pleasantly surprised at how the catfishing plot played out and wasn’t used through the entire book and the reasoning for the inevitable breaking point of the romance. In fact, I really wasn’t expecting the plot twist at all, turning what might seem like a predictable light romcom into a surprising and emotional contemporary tale. I really enjoyed all the animals and the Bean Games. I also was impressed by how emotionally affected I was by the family drama subplot and seeing how Wren’a broken relationships with her mom and family developed through the story. If you want an easy to read, light romance, with a touch of emotional damage this one’s for you! 


Thank you to @tbrbeyondtours and @kasiewest for having me on the tour! I received an eARC in exchange for my honest review, all opinions are my own.
