Borrow My Heart By Kasie West. I love Kasie West books! The characters are likable and fun. The story line is relevant. Always a great read and Borrow My Heart is just as awesome! Wren likes to keep everything in order. She is a rule follower and a list maker. So when Archer walks into her coffee shop and she discovers he's being cat fished it's so not like Wren to step in, but that is exactly what she does. Suddenly Wren and Archer are hanging out and Wren it really stepping beyond her comfort zone. The one rule that Wren does break might be a deal breaker with Asher. Read Borrow My Heart and find out exactly what happens for yourself. Happy Reading!

This one is fine. Students who like Kasie West romances will eat this one up--good for MSers and HSers alike. The premise was a bit shaky, and then the conflicts were fairly contrived, and the ending was a little too pat for me. But there were dogs, so that made it slightly better.

This book is extremely cute. The romance was so fun to read! I really loved the artistic style of the cover too! I will definitely be keeping my eye on this author!

I'm already a Kasie West fan, and I feel like this book is right up there with her greatest hits. She does such a great job writing a cozy, cuddly, feel good cute YA novel, while also taking a look at topics that might be a little tricky.

I love Kasie West, but to be honest this was my least favorite of her books. I do think the writing and cover were still great. It wasn’t a setting I’d read any other books taking place in, but the story still fell flat for me.

Kasie West is a go-to author in my 8th grade classroom, and Borrow My Heart will also be a book that gets a lot of traffic! So much drama happens when we deceive, and protagonist Wren finds this out firsthand while fake-dating a boy she meets in her coffee shop. Verdict = cute but not my favorite. Thanks to #NetGalley for the opportunity to preview #BorrowMyHeart by Kasie West - my students and I are already looking forward to her next release!

Borrow My Heart is so cute. Wren overhears Asher being stood up by an apparent catfish and jumps in to save the day. She pretends to be his online fling, and swears it is going to be a one time thing. She never expects to see him again or to fall for him in the process, but what will happen when she comes clean?

Also at the heart of this story is a shelter dog named Bean. He's been in the shelter forever, and Asher and Wren work together to get him adopted. I love Bean. He adds so much heart and personality to the story, and is just the best lovable unloveable dog.

Kasie West is gifted at writing relatable, adorable characters and sitting comfortably in the genre of light, YA romance. She peppers in real heart and real issues that young adults are facing to give the story gravity and believability, but it stays feathery and easy to read.

A sweet rom com that I can absolutely see my students devouring. I have yet to read a Kasie West book that I didn't enjoy and this is no exception. A delightful read all around!

Kasie West's contemporary novels are some of my favorites—full of well-developed characters, nuanced arcs, and the kind of hijinks we all always dreamed of. Loved this new one!

Kasie West never fails to deliver! I always look forward to her releases, and the cover of Borrow My Heart drew me in the first time I ever saw it. And of course, the inside of the book was just as adorable as the outside. ♥️
Wren and Asher were the absolute cutest! I loved seeing the feeling grow between them..The concept of fake-dating in the plotline was really unique. I loved how the author added her own twist to this very popular trope. The book was enjoyable through and through ~ and I cannot recommend it enough!!

I’ve gotta stop getting YA romcoms. I think I’m just too grown, and I hate it! I loved the idea of girl saves the day and the boy, but it just wasn’t… good. It was hard to follow, choppy to read, and just didn’t capture my attention. I will say I loved the animal aspect, because who doesn’t? But I just couldn’t deal. Thanks for the opportunity to read!

3.5 stars, rounded up.

This is a pretty cute, solid YA contemporary. My biggest issue with it was the huge lie the entire relationship starts with that doesn't get resolved until well over halfway through the book. I loved the animal shelter and Wren's love for animals that was woven through the story. I also enjoyed Wren and Kamala's friendship. This was a cute quick read!

This was a cute little YA romance! It was easy to get through with a cute plot but definitely cheesy. I would recommend it for a light read that doesn’t require too much focus! My favorite character was the dog 😂🐶

This is such a cute, sweet, clean teen romance story. The characters are lovable and the author pulls you in, so you experience the characters dilemmas with them. Highly recommend for ages 9-13 ish.
