I Believe in a Thing Called Love
by Maurene Goo
This was such a cute and funny read!! I’m actually a massive fan of k-dramas, been watching them for 7 years now!
And I just found myself cracking up with the little references that the main protagonist was referring to. The story had a great structure, and I really enjoyed not only the witty story telling of Desi - but the insight we were able to receive in the end about Korean dramas, about life and the unexpected nature of life.
I do feel that our heroine was a little too much in her own head, though that’s just her characterisation and the way she is supposed to be portrayed. Luca was a pretty good love interest, the fact that he wasn’t your typical ‘arrogant’ and ‘dark’ hero that you typically read in YA rom-com fiction. Instead, there were little traits about him which were not perfect, but made him more adorable and relatable.
Like the fact he ran out of breath after running a short while, or that he’s a bit of a wimp. These things just made him even better!
Really enjoyed this story, the characters and its plot!
