Virtually Yours by Sarvenaz Tash sounds like a perfect rom-com that is perfect for Valentine’s Day. This is another YA contemporary set in college that is releasing in 2019. I think the concept sounds like it has the potential for lots of interesting drama. I am not sure that I have read a book that features online dating . Looking forward to finding out more about this one!
Virtually Yours by Sarvenaz Tash
Title: Virtually YoursAuthor: Sarvenaz Tash
Genre: Contemporary, Romance, Young Adult
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers
Publication Date: June 4, 2019
Modern love plus online anonymity is a recipe for romantic disaster in this lighthearted new romance from the author of The Geek’s Guide to Unrequited Love.
How bad can one little virtual lie be?
NYU freshman Mariam Vakilian hasn’t dated anyone in five months, not since her high school sweetheart Caleb broke up with her. So, when she decides to take advantage of an expiring coupon and try out a new virtual reality dating service, it’s sort of a big deal.
It’s an even bigger deal when it chooses as one of her three matches none other than Caleb himself. That has to be a sign, right?
Except that her other match, Jeremy, just happens to be her new best friend IRL.
Mariam’s heart is telling her one thing, but the app is telling her another. So, which should she trust? Is all fair in modern love?
Book Quotes: Virtually Yours
But people need different things from different relationships. And I don’t think a close friendship is dissimilar from a romantic relationship.
