This Time It's Real by Ann Liang

• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

3.5

Fun YA book of the "fake romance" flavor set in Beijing. I liked that Eliza's baggage (what is keeping her from love) stemmed from moving frequently and losing relationships, though I'm not sure why, since it's not an uncommon one. Maybe it's because it really felt multi-dimensional and surfaced in several ways, such as not fitting in, feeling like she doesn't have a home, and worrying about the growing distance between her and her BFF from before.

I am adding more of Ann Liang's books to my TBR!
