I Believe in a Thing Called Love by Maurene Goo
5.0
I wish I could give this 6 stars because THIS IS THE CUTEST THING I HAVE EVER READ.
I thought To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before was cute………….nope, it can’t hold a candle to Desi Lee and her adorable recipe for romance and disaster!
It’s sweet, cheesy, and above all - funny. It’s common for a book to make me cry but it’s very difficult to make me laugh, and I Believe In A Thing Called Love had me genuinely cackling out loud during a long haul flight!
I freakin’ adore Desi Lee as a character. She’s adorable, awkward, funny, neurotic, and a total Type-A personality. You know her recipe for snagging a boyfriend will invariably blow up in her face at some point, but I couldn’t stop reading and had the biggest smile on my face the entire time!
I loved that Desi never has to change anything about herself in pursuit of a boyfriend. Her love interest doesn’t make fun of her, doesn’t try to change her, and doesn’t admonish her for her neediness. She’s allowed to be her wonderful neurotic, awkward, intense self.
Aaaaaaaaa this is just so sweet and cheesy and K-drama fans will live for it! I want to reread it already omfg.
