On the surface, Borrow My Heart is a light YA romance novel that has the characters dealing with the negative aspects of social media, catfishing, parental issues, relationships, and helping animals in need.
Wren will tell you that she is a control freak. She has rules for every situation. Her mother left when Wren was a child to go off and do her own thing. Wren’s rules make her feel safe. She also loves working with animals and is doing her best to make sure a certain loveable dog gets adopted.
Asher is good with computers and editing videos. He comes from a large family and has a close group of friends.
When Wren overhears Asher being picked on by his friends after being catfished, she jumps in and pretends to be his online love interest. His friends are suspicious, but she goes with it. Soon she and Asher begin spending more time together mainly at the shelter she volunteers at.
This was an enjoyable book that took both characters on their own journeys while also on a journey together. I loved the chapter headings and thought they were very clever and a nice set up for the chapters.
This is the first book in a series. The writing is solid, and I appreciated how the author delt with the real life issues her characters were experiencing. This proved to be an enjoyable, sweet, fast read that is perfect for YA readers.
