Rom coms have not been my favorite lately, but i LOVED this one. Such a cute story, I loved the characters and the way it was written. Can not wait to try more in the future.

This was a really cute YA book, which was easy and quick to read. There were some things I wish were written more about, but overall it was a good read. I would definitely recommend this and I would like to read more books by this author.

It’s a cute book! It’s maybe a little too on the YA range for me, which feels wild to say because I will still read them like no other. This one just wasn’t hitting the way I wanted/expected it to, which is rough because it features a lot of the tropes that I typically like.

It’s a great book for others, it just wasn’t the one for me and that’s ok!

such a cute book omg! perfect for the summer, it’s a perfect mix between romance, humor, friendship, everything. i usually don’t vibe with love triangles but this one got me real good, it made sense why imogen would like both boys, although i had a preference for august. the concept was super fun and pretty original (august and imogen are already fake dating and have been for a year which is kinda fun in my opinion). absolutely recommend! 5⭐️

Imogen's crush faces a breakup and she jumps on the chance to draw Ren's attention to her. She's had a long distance (fictional) relationship that she can now drop in her pursuit of Ren. But August shows up and Imogen scrambles to keep her lies straight as she navigates her "break up".
I suppose based on the title I expected this to be a little more of a traumatic read. There were zero tears but lots of miscommunication and hoodwinking. I wanted a little more magic but it's very light and summery.
Thank you to Sourcebooks Fire and NetGalley for the advanced copy. All thoughts are my own.

thank you to netgalley and to the publisher for this review copy.

The Broken Hearts Club by Susan Bishop Crispell would've had me obsessed when I was in my early twenties. Before going to therapy and developing some emotional maturity. This is YA, so characters are not expected to be emotionally mature, but this main character could've had a whole Netflix documentary about her. Basically, she's been in love with this guy for years, but he's always had a girlfriend whom he loves (and we know this because our main character can read people's auras and see the actual love around them). So naturally, the main character decides to create this whole fake relationship with a guy who she dated last summer...and she uses his actual name and everything. Everything else, though, is fake. She takes pictures of the supposed gifts he sends her and creates a fake profile for him so that she can impersonate him...do we see where this is headed? Like, I'm sorry, but no regular sixteen year-old is that smart, and if she were, it's probably because she's a sociopath.

Fun, cute, easygoing read. I enjoyed this book thoroughly. It's definitely a book that allows you those summer feelings! Highly recommend!

the characters in the story were written well with realistic character development. i haven’t read a “coming of age” type story in a while so it definitely felt nostalgic. the magic of seeing peoples aura’s was very unique and fun! i think i just wanted there to be more about the magic. i also sometimes got annoyed by mo… i mean she was a 17 year old who was in dire need to be IN love so i guess that makes sense 😂

Imogen (Mo) is the daughter of a professional matchmaker and shares her mother’s ability to see the emotional colors of love and heartbreak that surround people. Mo believes this gift intimidates potential boyfriends – she’s never had one or even been asked on a date. Which is kind of embarrassing considering her mother’s job. So, she invents a fake relationship with August, a boy she briefly met over a year ago. He lives on the other side of the state, so he’ll never find out, right? But when Mo’s longtime crush is suddenly single, she creates a breakup with August in hopes of having a chance with her crush. Then her best laid plans go way off the rails when August shows up in town asking why they broke up.

From the charming seaside town setting, to Yeastie Boys (the biscuit diner where Mo works with her best friend), to the not so great choices Mo makes, this is a fun read. The biscuit descriptions (all named after Beastie Boys songs) had me drooling, and I wanted to hang out with August and his scene-stealing little brother on the beach. Mo’s had an idealistic view of what love looks like her whole life, and I liked that she learns it’s not the rosy picture she envisioned. It’s a messy, bumpy road that can take many directions. The relationships between Mo and her friends and her mother were also written realistically – those roads also come with potholes.

If you’re looking for a fun vacation read that will keep you flipping the pages and craving biscuits, grab a copy of The Broken Hearts Club and toss it in your suitcase before you leave.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Arc review!! This book was so cute and cheesy but a bit too cheesy and similar to other reads for me. I loved Mo and August’s relationship and how even though it started off rocky, it got better. If you’re into young adult romance with a fake dating trope, this one’s for you!

This was beyond adorable. I loved the friendship that Imogen and Gemma have, the way they balance each other out. I loved the setting of the beach town and the Biscuit shop that they work at. The writing was fun, pulling me since the first page making me want to read more and more. I loved August and Owen, their relationship and how close Imogen became with them, I really loved this one!!

The Broken Hearts Club would be a wonderful read for a YA reader (I’m a little too old to fit that category!), but very well written with good character development. Thank you to Sourcebooks and NetGalley.

It was a cute little story. I didn’t love it… but I didn’t hate it either. I think some of the stuff seemed a little unrealistic (even in fantasy books, you have to make people believe the magic, you need to do it in romance too) and I didn’t fall in love with characters as much as I’d hoped, but I would still recommend it.

For the past year, Imogen "Mo" Finch has been faking a relationship. After meeting one of her mom's matchmaking clients and seeing their son- she's found the perfect fake boyfriend: August Finch. He's hot. Plus he lives far, far away. What more could a girl ask for? The daughter of a matchmaker with no boyfriend? Not for long. August provides the perfect cover.

Filling her socials with Mo and August things, it was only a matter of time until the real August caught on. Everything comes to a stop when August arrives in town. Not only caught up in the August drama, she's also trying to change her photography portfolio to gain entry into a prestigious program. Now the heat is on both personally and professionally as Mo's world is flipped upside down. A super quick, fun, and quirky read, this one will leave you smiling.

This was a super cute YA rom -com that had great characters. It has some magical realism which I wish was more! This was a quick read that I did really enjoy. I received an advanced readers copy and all opinions are my own.

Thank you NetGally for letting me give an honest review of this book! This book had me hooked. It was a Super cute YA romance book. All I wanted to do was keep reading to find out what happened next. It was a quick read and something I would definitely recommend to young audiences! The chemistry between the characters were amazing. The life lessons this book also had to offer were just perfect!

This book was fantastic! The characters, diner atmosphere, and biscuit motif were all wonderful. I wanted Mo to find true love and the appropriate boy for her, and I enjoyed watching the characters' journey as they found everything out. The relationships in the novel really captivated me, and I didn't want to put it down. All of them, not just the romantic ones, including those between parents and children and friendships. I can't recommend it enough because it had the perfect balance of love and heartbreak!

Sorry but I couldn't get passed the first chapter/initial concept. The fake boyfriend and stolen identity troupe isn't my favorite.
