I Believe in a Thing Called Love by Maurene Goo
3.0
3.5 stars -- really loved Desi and her dad's relationship a LOT and all her friendships too. Her plan for Luca just got a bit too out of hand for me.. but it was overall a cute and fun book! makes me want to watch k dramas - something my mom watches all the time!
My Thoughts:
Yay for another YA father-daughter relationship that I love! Desi and her dad's closeness was probably one of my favorite things about I Believe In A Thing Called Love. I love it when there are great parental relationships in YA and this is a prime example! They've really come to rely on each other. They confide in one another and I love their nights watching K-dramas!
The story is super cute -- Desi is good at everything, a straight A student, over achiever, type A personality person. But she cannot handle romance. So she makes an outline based on K-drama romance formulas and uses this on her crush. The story is really cute and I liked Desi a lot. There were some parts of her plan though that I felt got out of hand. So that detracted from my enjoyment a bit but the friendships, funny moments and father-daughter relationship made up for it. Not to mention, this book made me want to get into K-dramas!
In Short...
A cute contemporary that will get you in the mood for summer and also make you want to watch K-dramas if you don't already!
