I Believe in a Thing Called Love

Today's post is on I Believe in a Thing Called Love by Maureen Goo. It is 325 pages long and is published by Farrar, Straus & Girous Inc. The cover is white with Desi in the center looking at the reader with a big smile on her face. The intended reader is someone who likes rom-com's, quirky-cute heroines, and sweet love stories. There is very mild foul language, no sex, and no violence in this book. The story is told from first person perspective of the main character. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the dust jacket- Desi Lee believes anything is possible if you have a plan. That’s how she became student body president. Varsity soccer star. And it’s how she’ll get into Stanford. But—she’s never had a boyfriend. In fact, she’s a disaster in romance, a clumsy, stammering humiliation magnet whose botched attempts at flirting have become legendary with her friends. So when the hottest human specimen to have ever lived walks into her life one day, Desi decides to tackle her flirting failures with the same zest she’s applied to everything else in her life. She finds guidance in the Korean dramas her father has been obsessively watching for years—where the hapless heroine always seems to end up in the arms of her true love by episode ten. It’s a simple formula, and Desi is a quick study. Armed with her “K Drama Steps to True Love,” Desi goes after the moody, elusive artist Luca Drakos—and boat rescues, love triangles, and staged car crashes ensue. But when the fun and games turn to true feels, Desi finds out that real love is about way more than just drama.

Review- I like K-dramas, they are so much fun, with cute stories and the characters are so over-the-top that you cannot help but love them for it. So when a K-drama inspired YA novel came across my desk I knew that I would have to read it ASAP. It is so cute that it hurts at times. Desi Lee has no luck with guys at all but of course then she meets Luca. Insert all the K-dramas that were the background music of her childhood and she has the most brilliant idea ever. Just follow the rules of the K-dramas heroines and in less than sixteen episodes get your true love. What follows is a cute love story with a heroine who will have True Love and the boy who does not know that he is True Love in a beanie. This book is funny, touching, and cutely romantic. If you like K-dramas or cute romances you need to read this book.

I give this book a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this book from local library.
