Something Borrowed by Catherine Hapka

Back/Inside Cover:
She's ready to catch the bouquet, not steal the guy!

When Ava gets dumped by her boyfriend, she's pretty upset. He wasn't the love of her life or anything, but with her sister's wedding-a.k.a. the social event of the season-just two weeks away, Ava's got to save face by finding someone cute and fun to bring as her date.

With the clock ticking and no dates in sight, Ava asks her best friend if she can "borrow" her boyfriend, Jason, for the night. Ava's never been a big Jason fan, but he'll look great in a tux, and at least she'll have someone to dance with. But it doesn't take long for Ava to realize she's got him all wrong...

What do you do when Mr. Right is wrapped up in a package that belongs to your best friend?

My Thoughts:
I found this pretty funny and entertaining. Although very predictable, it was also, idk, how to word it correctly, unrealistic? I mean, the odds of this happening in real life, or at least in my world, are slim to none. But hey, if this relates to anyone out there!... way to go! ;) Anway, it was laughable (if that makes sense).

Reccommendations for...:
Middleschoolers and up. There's nothing that's anything more than suggestive and honestly? It kind of gives the idea that dating is super hard when in reality? It's only as awkward or difficult as you make it.
