I am not sure why this book as such a low rating compared to other books in the genre. I read The Love Interest for the first time when I was in the target age group, and I really liked it. Now, officially not a teenager anymore, I find this book equally as charming as I did the first time I read it. Cale Dietrich writes fun books with well-made, important characters, and The Love Interest is no exception. Silly and trope-filled on purpose, Dietrich does not take himself too seriously but still creates a book that has representation so many young people (including me!) need in literature. Definitely worth the read!
