Super Fake Love Song by David Yoon
4.0

Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was a very fun, light and easy read; you can really tell that David had a lot of fun writing this book. It’s a lot less serious than his previous book, Frankly in Love, and full of goofy dialogue (which may be a bit much for the straight’n’serious reader, but being a major goofball, I loved it).

While I say it’s a light read it does a good job of exploring the “shame” someone can feel about their “nerdy” hobbies or passions (i.e. the blank stare you can get when you tell someone you like anime; “So you like cartoons…?”). The story also ties up nicely in the end, which in times like these, that’s all you sometimes want in a nice, light read!
