“Her mirrored Ray-Burns glinted in the sun, and she tossed her lavender-tipped black hair over her shoulder. The two of them lowered their heads together and laughed as they walked to the bus.

What in the bloody f-ing EFF was this. Did he have a girlfriend already? Three days into a new school?”

If Maurene Goo’s I Believe in a Thing Called Love is not on your TBR, it needs to be added now! Desi Lee is probably one of the most lovable contemporary protagonists I’ve read recently and the story itself is both adorable and hilarious. You can read my full review here. Cover is linked to Goodreads.

From the Goodreads Synopsis:

      “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.“
