Modern love plus online anonymity is a recipe for romantic disaster in this lighthearted new romance from the author of The Geeks Guide to Unrequited Love.
How bad can one little virtual lie be
NYU freshman Mariam Vakilian hasnt 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, its sort of a big deal.
Its 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.
Mariams heart is telling her one thing, but the app is telling her another. So, which should she trust Is all fair in modern love
I'd totally swipe right on Virtually Yours, a book with heart and humor featuring characters you'd want to know IRL. Sarvenaz Tash delivers a swoony story about first love, second chances, and finding out who you are and what you want to be. It's love at first read! -- Elizabeth Eulberg, author of Better Off Friends
"Witty and insightful, Sarvenaz Tash'sVirtually Yoursis a delightful journey into the heart of love. A whimsical romance that is at once utterly contemporary and totally timeless, Tash masterfully intertwines the complexities of falling in love, owning your mistakes, and understanding who you really are." -- Samira Ahmed, New York Times Bestselling author of Love, Hate & Other Filters, and Internment
"Virtually Yours is a book that delivers more than one happily ever after. It's about finding yourself before you can find the one, and I loved following Mariam's journey as she found both." -- Lauren Morrill, author of MEANT TO BE and BETTER THAN THE BEST PLAN
As funny as it is wise,Virtually Yoursis a 21stcentury delight, taking rom-com tropes that date back to Shakespeare and making them feel fresh and newly relevant. Not only does Sarvenaz Tash nail the feeling of college freshman yearthe thrill and discomfort of trying to hold onto who you once were even as youre becoming someone newshe also brilliantly tackles the question of what makes a relationshipreal. I loved it. For real. -- Lance Rubin, Author of Denton Littles Deathdate
