Young Adult

A swoon worthy bad boy will melt your heart in THE HEARTBREAK CURE by Amanda Ashby with brownies, witty banter, and so much more. This young adult romance novel is sure to draw you in and having you devouring page after page wanting more. Both Cat and Alex have one thing in common, they both are being shamed for something that really wasn't their fault. Something they had no control over. Now they must find a way to pick up the pieces and move on. Cat gets featured in a YouTube video that goes wrong and now her embarrassing breakup is viral. The video is spreading across the internet and there is nothing she can do about it. All these crazy rumors are sure to hurt her chance of becoming a journalist. The only way she can think to fix this is by enlisting her neighbor to be her pretend boyfriend. Things should be easy since this is a "fake" relationship, right? Well what happens when fake feelings and the truth get blurred? Well that is where this story differs from most "fake dating" stories that many have read before. Alex has a reputation for being a lone wolf, the bad boy who is shamed by everyone. He thinks that he deserves everything bad that comes his way, but deep down he wants a scholarship to study engineering. Hopefully, this will happen at a school that is far away from this community and he can get a fresh start. Amanda Ashby has taken the typical "fake relationship" story and given it unique twists with creative writing and not your usual list of characters. Each stands out on their own, but when you put them together they are a forceful team that can take on all the haters. Based in a small town, this is the perfect touch to make THE HEARTBREAK CURE a must read young adult novel.

SUMMARY

How to get over a heartbreak:

Step one: Eat your body weight in brownies.

Step two: Throw yourself into your dreams of becoming a famous writer.

Step three: Beg your (hottie) ex-neighbor to act as your fake boyfriend.

Step four: Skip step three unless you’re ready for some serious fallout.

After being dumped and humiliated over the summer, Cat Turner does what any sane girl would do. She asks bad boy Alex Locke to be her fake boyfriend and show the world (and her editor at the school newspaper) that she's fine. Problem is, the more time she spends with Alex, the more she risks getting her heart broken. For real this time.

Disclaimer: This Entangled Teen Crush book contains a swoony bad boy who will melt your heart, brownies, and witty banter. One, two, or all three might prove addictive...
