I Think I Love You
Synopsis
Emma and Sophia are arch-nemeses. Emma is a die-hard romantic, and Sophia is the more practical of the two. Both want the same prize: a first-place trip to a film festival in Los Angeles, and each is determined to beat the other to it.
As the competition goes on, a twist of events pushes the two girls closer together. The rivalry begins to look like something else, and they start to believe they might be falling for each other. The book leaves the matter open: they think so, and whether it is real remains to be seen.
This is a young adult contemporary romantic comedy and a queer romance between two girls, with the enemies-to-lovers pull at its centre. The tone is light and humorous, with funny moments alongside the sweeter ones. It is a paperback original, part of the Underlined line of romance, thriller and horror titles.
The book suits readers who like their teen romance playful, with a rivalry that carries real stakes for both leads and a contest to be won along the way.
How it reads
Prose complexity 3/10
- i have a lot of thoughts but i’m not going to write them down, mostly because there’s no need to. overall i feel like the book could’ve told the same story with 100 pages less and that most conflicts would’ve been solved if the characters had decided to have a normal conversation. <br><br>however, i did love a lot the bisexuality arc that Emma was going through. her feelings of uncertainty and fear over coming out to her parents resonated with me and it made me feel seen. i loved that, and i am happy with how that part of the story unfolded and ended, so kudos to that.
- A queer Sapphic ya read. An enemies to lovers troupe, with endless bickering Told through Emma and Sophia’s points of view, slow start, but a quick read. It took a few chapters for me to get invested enough, but when I did, it was alright. High school setting can be boring for me sometimes, hence why I didn't loved it. But it was nice
