crunchycrystals's review against another edition
aside from pacing issues with the romance and plot in general, i am not in a good head space to read this book lol. sophia's fight with tom somewhere before i left off hit a little too close to an actual experience i had and i realized very quickly after i left off that outing would be a part of the plot. i don't want to deal with outing so i'm basing this trigger warning off of other trigger warnings on storygraph since i'm not making it that far into the book. the trigger warnings also have aro/acephobia and im aspec so i do not want to deal with that either

Really cute sapphic book. Light on the angst and with a happy ending. The humor was good and I really enjoyed it. I definitely liked Sophia’s POV better, at first Emma kinda annoyed me but I loved her by the end of the book.
I’m not sure how I felt with the drama, the lack of communication just kinda bothered me. The friendships were okay at the beginning but then several characters just annoyed me. In the end everything worked out how I hoped so overall this book was a good lighthearted read.

it was an okay read. emma and sophia were a bit annoying the first few chapters but i still quite enjoyed the enemies to lovers trope.
i’m glad it was a quick read because even though i appreciated all the gay moments, the bisexual representation and had fun watching them create the films, i was very aware how young they alle are. i read quite a lot of YA literature but in this one the characters felt especially young and immature.
a cliché YA romance novel which was fun to read but i wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

I tried reading this last year but the characters irritated me so much that I decided to DNF it. However with it being something i'd usually enjoy, I wanted to give it another go.
Ok, so this is a cute story! But I do have some problems with it.
I do feel like Sophia and Emma's relationship wasn't well fleshed out. They literally went from hating each other to loving each other without any proper character development. Also, there was no back story as to why they hated each other at the start of the book.
The ending was a bit rushed as well. Within what seems like a week, Sophia and Emma's relationship had quite the rollercoaster and ended with them saying 'i love you' to each other which seems a bit too soon. But maybe that's because teen relationships would be like that?
This is probably more suited to young teens with the writing style and the teen elements in the story.

I saw "sapphic enemies to lovers" and knew it was my calling to read it. I enjoyed how lighthearted this book was, it's a breathe of fresh air compared to the many heartbreaking LGBTQ+ stories we usually get. I liked the contrast between a character who was a diehard romantic and one which was repelled by it. I though that this was a decent trope to fuel the "enemies to lovers" aspect.
However, in this case I think the fluff was excessive.I wanted a little more depth in Emma and Sophia's relationship (a lot of the focus fell on the straight side couples) and while I am aware that this is a YA novel, I was expecting a little more maturity. Additionally, Emma's obsession with love was such a constant throughout the novel that it practically became her only personality trait. While I related more to Sophia's character they both came off as really self absorbed. Despite this, there were times when the characters acknowledged these flaws which I really appreciated.
Overall, I was slightly dissapointed by "I Think I love You" but inherently it wasn't a terrible read. It had its sweet moments and accomplished its intent for a cute wee romance.

I'd really liked the enemies to lovers trop but I think their reason to hate each other were kinda non existent. there was just no point in them not being friends. and I also feel like if they just talked to each other without running away or screaming there would have been no problems?

This was super cute!
Emma is a die-hard romantic and when she has the chance to make her ultimate Netflix rom-com with a bisexual female lead, she knows she has to do it. Sophia is a pragmatic realist. She doesn't believe in all the romantic drama, but when she returns from France she feels like she's not a part of the group anymore. She knows she has to keep her spot in the group and make this movie the best thing ever, but Emma is determined to make it a rom-com and Sophia knows that won't win. The two are at a stand-off and eventually decide to split the group and make two separate movies.
This book was so damn adorable. I loved Emma and all her squishy romantic notions from page 1. Sophia is quite the opposite, but I really loved her too. Her jaded attitude is honestly the perfect one for a rom-com. Plus when Sophia is told Emma has feelings for her, omg the change was AMAZING. Clearly, Sophia is much more than the ice queen everyone thinks she is.
While I did really like this novel, some of the set ups that happened kind of bothered me. Mainly the one between Emma's cousin and Sophia's best friend. The two clearly liked each other, but to communicate that message by pretending to be that person just doesn't sit right with me. I would use character names but I've forgotten everyone besides Emma, Sophia and the asshole Matt.
Which let's talk about Matt. This guy ugh. He really bothered me. I hated his attitude to Emma brushing off his attempt to ask her out. Like the girl was not into it and he gets MAD about it. Boy, no one OWES you attraction. And just because Emma is bisexual does not mean she will automatically like you. Move on with your life and this BS entitlement.
Both Emma and Sophia have outside problems from trying to make their little movies. Emma is trying to figure out how to come out to her parents and she's nervous of their reaction. Sophia doesn't feel like her mother truly cares since she jetted off to Paris to marry someone else after her divorce to Sophia's dad. I enjoyed seeing the two confide in each other and begin to process of working on these things.
Overall, this was just super sweet and I really loved these two characters.
