Dating Makes Perfect by Pintip Dunn
3.0
I was quite nervous to start reading this book because I've come across many YA romance novels before, and only a few have managed to capture my interest. Most of them felt clichéd, easy to predict, and lacked originality. This particular book follows the "fake dating" and "enemies to lovers" storyline. The last fake dating book I read was "Adorkable," and that gave me a headache. Surprisingly, this book has a somewhat similar plot (funny enough, some parts of "Adorkable" were at the end of this book, lol.) but it feels more unique and endearing.
What stood out to me in this book was its deep immersion in Thai culture. However, the highlight for me was the main character's bond with her twin sisters. All the characters were well-developed, yet they could have had more depth. Many of the situations felt far-fetched and unlikely to happen in real life. The romantic connection between the leads was sweet, but it didn't resonate strongly with me.
Would I suggest this as a top-tier fake dating book? Probably not. But if you're interested in exploring a book that delves into a vibrant culture and offers a light read, then this could be the one for you.
