I Believe in a Thing Called Love by Maurene Goo
4.0
This book is the perfect palate cleanser. You know when you're between heavy books, or in the middle of an intense series and need a break (*cough*Wheel of Time*cough*), so you need something you don't have to think about too much? That's this book. It's not going to change the world with its societal commentary, but it's also not totally annoying in its cutesy teen romance way.
Desi's nerdiness is highly endearing, and her inner commentary is perfectly poised on the fence between cringe-worthy awkward teen and unrealistic teen seductress. I've never seen a k-drama, but since it was meant to follow the outline of one (and I've heard they can be pretty crazy), I don't fault her for her outlandish ideas, as it's meant to follow the common tropes.
The love interest developed well and fairly naturally. I loved the realistic innocence of it, with some truly human and meaningful moments. It had all of the ingredients of a perfect palate cleanser.
