Book Synopsis:
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.
My Review:
This book was so cute and I enjoyed it so much. It had a fake dating (kinda?) trope that I loved and the cutest setting, a pet shelter.
The love interest was adorable and so sweet. He gives the best hugs, and I now have a brand new requirement for my future boyfriend. Amazing hugger. It’s non-negotiable.
I loved that the main character had this big list of requirements for her perfect guy and then fell for someone who barely checked any of them off. It’s a good reminder that you can’t always plan the unexpected, and that sometimes it’s better to just see how things fall instead of passing up something good because it doesn’t fit your checklist.
The writing was fun and easy to read with just the right amount of humour, but it also handled some heavier stuff really well. The main character’s mom walked out on her family when she was young and never really made up for it., but Kasie West wrote about it in a way that just made me love the main character even more.
The animal shelter setting was such a fun touch too. The cute factor was through the roof, and also surprisingly emotional at times.
Overall I really loved this book, and that cover? I’m going to need my own copy just to stare at it. It’s totally worth it!
Happy Reading,
Ava
