This Time It's Real successfully gave a cute, heartwarming, also addictive storyline for people who misses their young love story. When we are looking for the trope, there is nothing impressive on it. Just like other trope with fake dating during high school. But, ANN LIANG can make me feel like watching a chinese drama. I can see and feel the happiness sensation in every chapter of this novel. I do not feel like I am belong to a book for Young Adult, but this novel is exceptional. The story began with chaotic cute moments from Eliza, the protagonist, and then following with an agreement with Caz that made their must in relationships. It's cute! Super cute! The grumpry girl with the shining boy pretended to love each other until he realized their feeling was not lying. Caz as populqr boy is kind of my dream boy when I was young. I love him. I love how he doesn't lie about his feelings to Eliza. I love that he becomes so brave to confess his feelings. Eliza becomes a confused one, well, rather than angry with her denial thingy and pretending not like Caz, I moslty laughing on it. That's cute. I just love the storyline, even though it was kind of fast-paced, but I can still see and feel the dynamic in their relationship.
