I really enjoyed reading Something Borrowed! I loved the characters they felt real and raw.
The only thing I didn't care for was the ending. I wished there more added to the story.
But overall a wonderfully written book! That will grab your attention.

"Something Borrowed" was a quick read, at times funny, and incredibly sweet. It features one of my favorite tropes, the fake-dating one, and treats it in a lovely way. I really needed something this soft for a break. The ending made me wish there was more to further explore Sebastian and Trevor's newborn relationship, but overall I'm very happy with this novel.

It's a quick and fun romance in this story from Kleinn. Trevor is attending his exes wedding and needs a date. He invites his former supervisor/crush Sebastian. There's very little angsting over the "will they or won't they question" here. It's more a fun journey to see exactly who breaks first. It's fairly light reading and does its job.

I wish there was more! I was hooked!

I wanted more of Trevor and Sebastian! I’m left waning and longing for a longer story so the novella did it’s job! This was probably the shortest romance I’ve read but it was super sweet and enjoyable to just see how things play out.

I would’ve loved to see a full novel with these two but it made sense for their relationship to be a novella. They’re both very straight forward characters and it worked really well with the story so I’m left satisfied!

Thank you to NetGalley and NineStar Press for the ears in return for an honest review.

3 stars

A sweet, cute, sappy fake-dating romance novella with a nice amount of pining before a satisfying ending. I mean *very* sappy, but not annoyingly so.

[What I liked:]

•The characters & relationships are nicely developed for a short novella. I like both MC’s, Cam, Emma, & even Sloane. The complex history between Emma & Trevor makes a lot of sense. Sebastian & Trevor’s professional/friendly relationship is skillfully drawn, & professes nicely into something else throughout the story.

•The prose is decent, nothing distracting or annoying.

•The settings were nicely described, especially the ambience at the wedding.


[What I didn’t like as much:]

•Trevor overhearing a certain conversation seemed a bit too convenient, but I’ll let it pass because the writer made it work & for the length of the story things couldn’t be drawn out too much more.
