Plot
Meera Noorani has spent her whole life playing it safe. Raised by her single mom, she’s had to—especially in love. After all, it has been proven, generation after generation, that all Noorani women are cursed to have partners who ruin their lives. And though she tried her best to avoid it, Meera’s fate comes a-calling, and within the span of a week, she’s broken up with, arrested, and then shipped to small-town Canada, where she’ll be completing her community service under the watchful eye of her mom and her new stepdad.
Meera’s spent her whole life being good, and this is the thanks she gets? If she can pose a threat to Mom’s perfect new life, though, maybe she can get back to the city. And there’s no better way to do that than date one of her fellow teen delinquents. Noah has got the piercings, tattoos, and rumours to prove that he’s the town’s most infamous bad boy…but when the bad boy isn’t actually bad, what’s a girl meant to do?
My Review
This is the first book I’ve read by Farah Heron and I loved it. I was originally intrigued by the beautiful cover and the brief synopsis and knew I had to read it. I love a great young adult romance and this one really hit the mark. The fake dating aspect was so cute and I loved reading about different family dynamics. Meera was such an easy character to root for. I loved seeing her grow into herself and who she really is. I really liked Noah’s character and how he was so misunderstood. No one truly knew how great of a person he was and only judged him based on the way he looked and who his family was. It was so nice to see him seen for who he truly is and not who the rumours say he is. It was so easy to root for Meera and Noah. They complimented each other so well and I really enjoyed reading about their relationship. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and rate it 4/5 stars. If you love fake dating, small town, and grumpy/sunshine young adult romances then you’ll love this book.
And that’s the end of my The Bad Boyfriend Curse by Farah Heron book review. If you read this book let me know in the comments and if you loved it as much as I did. If you’re looking for other books to read check out these reviews: Our Perfect Storm, The Roommate Rule, and Too Fast To Fall.
