read for Popsugar 2018 Challenge: a book with song lyrics in the title

What a fun YA contemporary novel! I gobbled this book up in one sitting; it was absolutely delightful! Desi was such a great protagonist, even if some of her schemes were a little too crazy and dangerous

causing a car crash was just so stupid, but I couldn't also laugh because wow 17 year olds can be dumb

. She was so capable and determined, and her relationship with her dad was absolutely wonderful. Luca was a good love interest. I didn't feel he was particularly swoon worthy, but I really liked the dynamic between him and Desi. Also, wow did I feel some serious flashbacks to being a teenager when we got to see Luca and his dad (although his relationship was more similar to me and my mom).

However, I wish we'd gotten a little bit more from her friends. Fiona and Wes were such great characters, but they never felt quite developed enough. I think part of it was that Desi falls into a trap that many YA protagonists face were they are so singularly self centered on their goal, which is frankly a very 17 year old way to act.

I can't wait to read more of Maurene Goo's work, because she's excelling at writing some fun YA contemporary. Also, if this book taught me anything, it's that I need to start binge-watching some K-dramas.
