A cute and funny story. Desi uses Korean drama to find tips to fix her nonexistent love life. This leads to several hilarious moments.

Me encantó y más por el hecho de que la protagonista veía series coreanas ( Yo las amo♥️). Los protagonistas son súper lindos y saben reconocer sus errores. Hay personajes secundarios que se llevaron mi corazón por completo.
Hay escenas que me parecieron súper divertidas y la historia a pesar de que no es del otro mundo me encantó a su manera. Esta historia es bastante sencilla y bonita que te deja suspirando en un momento y riéndote en otro.
El final me gustó mucho, espero leer más de esta autora porque definitivamente con este libro me enamoré de su pluma

I believed, and still believe, that you can build your dreams brick by brick. That you can accomplish anything with persistence. Even falling in love. - Desi Lee
Desi Lee selalu percaya bahwa kita bisa melakukan apa pun, asal dengan rencana yang benar. Buktinya, dia berhasil menjadi bintang sepakbola, mendapat nilai-nilai gemilang, dan akan diterima di Stanford yang selama ini diidamkannya. Namun, semua kelebihan ini tidak membuatnya mampu mendapatkan satu pun pacar, bahkan ketika dia akan lulus SMA. Maka, ketika Luca Drakos datang, Desi bertekad menghapus segala kegagalan berkencannya selama ini. Dengan bantuan catatan "Cara Mendapatkan Cinta Sejati" dari berbagai drama Korea yang ditontonnya, Desi pun memulai misinya untuk menggaet Luca.
Beberapa halaman membaca buku ini, aku merasa Desi ini sepertinya rada kena sial. Setiap kali ada cowok yang mendekati dia, selalu ada kejadian memalukan yang membuat cowok-cowok itu menjauh. Mulai dari enggak sengaja menendang selangkangan gebetannya di kelas bela diri, menyemburkan dahak tepat di kaus cowok yang mau mengajak dia kencan, dan yang paling parah adalah waktu celananya melorot di depan si anak baru.

“Real love: It was all about risk and having faith. There were no guarantees.”
A book that's all about K-dramas? Obviously I had to read this, and I'm really happy to say that it was beyond adorable, with just enough turmoil to pull at anyone's heartstrings. Plus I got a bunch of new series to look forward to watching in the future.
I actually really liked Desi too. She obviously does some crazy stuff in this story, but she's 100% aware that it's weird, and she even ends up paying for it in the end. The male lead, Luca, had me on the fence about his character at first, but as time went on he just became more and more sweet and endearing. My heart really went out to him and the stuff he went through.
After reading this, I'm really excited to pick up more by Maurene Goo (especially her newest book about K-pop!).

Maybe I read this at a wrong time? Not my kind of romantic dynamic. Nope. Only made it until page 63.

4.7 stars. I really loved this book. I picked it up because it reminded me of the "To All the Boy's I've Loved Before" series and it didn't disappoint. It a feel good book and it's something to read when you're in the mood for a nice happy summer romance contemporary. For me it was something refreshing after binging a whole fantasy series. Unexpected things had me burst out laughing at the ridiculousness and I just liked the whole concept of the story and the characters. I thought the characters had very distinct personalities and I appreciated the realistic attraction between characters instead of insta-love. I don't see many books in YA with Asian American main characters that I can relate to, but I'm glad I met Desi and got to know her. The whole concept of k-dramas was a fun aspect of modern culture to explore and I really enjoyed this read. I think Ill revisit it in the future.
