I Think I Love You 〰️
Actual rating 4.5/5 stars.
First off, the cover of this book is stunning. I'm pretty sure I bought this book based on the cover (and the cute title) alone. And it didn't disappoint.
What a cute story. Sure it had lots of tropes and a bit of a lazy-ish plot (both of which I don't mind), but when it hits with the cute scenes, it hits hard. And thankfully, there were plenty of cute scenes.
This book has a lot of strong messages about coming out and about love in general. Coming out is never a one-and-done thing; no one should have to come out when they aren't ready or are not safe to do so. I'm glad Emma felt safe enough to come out, and I totally see why it upset her how her parents reacted. I also love how passionate Emma is about being bi, yet also not making her whole personally "the bi girl." She's a girl who happens to be bi, and that's as important to her as rom-coms are. And I love how Sophia learns to accept love in all its forms (relationship and otherwise).
However, I think the author may have just made up the plot as she went to fit around the love story between Emma and Sophia. Nothing wrong with that. It just sometimes felt like the movie-making plot was sometimes filler to get to the cute romance stuff we all came here for.
Side note, I could tell who sabotaged the whole film project long before the reveal. It was super obvious.
All in all, this was a super cute read. I love how close Emma is to her cousin. I haven't read many books where the MC is besties with their cousin, and I love the close family relationship. Even Sophia learned to be more accepting of her own family.
This was a cute and light read. This book is for you if you are looking for a little bit of gay rom-com.
