About the book

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

Wren is usually sticking to the rules. Especially when boys are around her. However, when Asher and one of his friends are coming into her neighbourhood coffee shop, everything changes. Wren decides to help Asher, who has been catfished and poses as his online crush. Something she definitely shouldn’t have done because it goes against her rules. Will Asher discover the truth, or will everything turn out for the best at the end?

This was such a cute and fast-paced read. Poor Wren, how did she end up in a fake dating situation? And also poor Asher, who hasn’t the tiniest clue. I’ve read this book in one sitting and absolutely adored my time reading it.

I liked the dynamic between Wren and Asher and was on the edge of my seat because I couldn’t decide if I wanted Wren to be honest with the poor guy or if I wanted them to stay in their little bubble. The fact that the author managed to represent the negative effects social media can have on us, was something I was glad to see.

Be prepared for a twist to happen during your read because there is definitely going to be some drama and it might get very emotional. Spoiler Alert: You will fall in love with Bean!

Overall, this was a light-hearted Young Adult Contemporary novel which I’m sure will be a great summer novel for YA readers.
