anabel_unker 's review for:
Borrow My Heart
by Kasie West
*I received a copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this opportunity*
Wren is a little messed up, and she'll be the first to admit it. Finding solace in order and lists after her mother left, she has very little tolerance for anything outside the careful crafting plan she's created for herself. However, when visiting her best friend at a local coffee shop, Wren notices a boy being relentless teased by his friend for being stood up by a friend from the internet, Wren decides to do something decidedly un-Wren-like and pretend to be someone she's not (namely, the admittedly cute boy's online girlfriend).
However, as the fake-dating continues, Wren begins weaving a bigger and bigger web of lies-- and finds herself falling for Asher-- and soon, friends, the fate of a dog at the animal shelter, and their burgeoning relationship are all at risk.
This book deals with a lot-- parental abandonment (both in the past and present), the negative effects of social media, as well as the importance of open and honest communication (between family, friends, and partners). However, it never feels to heavy or overwhelming; which means my recommended reading audience would be on the younger end of the YA scope.
