another one of my silly little background reads, was exactly what i expected it to be!

also:

“When you care about someone, you want to be inconvenienced—you wouldn’t mind being inconvenienced by them every day for the rest of your life. That’s what love is. That’s all love really is.”

that line fucking hit

This book felt like a fanfiction, no more no less. But if you THINK about any aspect of the story AT ALL, it literally makes no sense. I think my expectations were too high - I was really excited to read a book set in Beijing, but this book felt like a joke in comparison. I feel like this story had no business being set in China at all; in the c-ent industry when is dating EVER considered good publicity for a male celebrity? Especially for a celebrity in high school (when it’s still considered 早恋/looked down on by adults? Why the hell would Caz be attending an international high school anyway? And why the fk would he randomly be considering going to college in the US and ?!! Michigan?!!

Sedmnáctiletá Eliza Lin napíše esej o své pravé lásce. Rázem se na mezinárodní škole v Pekingu stane oblíbenou a nastává jeden jediný problém. Kde tu pravou lásku sehnat?
Všichni totiž věří, že každé slovo v eseji je pravdivé, ale Eliza si to úplně celé vymyslela.
V tu chvíli přichází na scénu herecká hvězda a zároveň spolužák Caz Song.

Předstíraný vztah jsem si v této knize vážně užila. Vůbec mi nevadilo, že jsou hlavní hrdinové mladí středoškoláci, podle čehož se tak i chovají. Naopak mě to hodně bavilo.

Tentokrát je to doopravdy je miloučké, roztomilé čtení, které zhltnete jedním dechem. Náramně si u toho odpočinete, protože vás kniha donutí na chvíli vypnout a celou dobu se u toho jenom culíte. Na léto úplně ideální.

I resonated with the main character a lot. This book handles issues like migration and micro aggression in a relatable way.
