This Is How You Fall In Love

Product Information

I didn’t manage to care for Cami, one of the main character and the entire reason behind the fake-dating scheme, which made me a bit sad. I had a hard time understanding her and, even by the end of the story, I guess I just maybe, wanted to know a bit more about her. What I really enjoyed about this book was that it felt very fresh - it was a new take on the fake dating trope and that was really fun to see. You expect this book to follow the typical storylines of a YA romance, but it mixes it up by the end and that was so refreshing! Extra brownie points for the female friendship in this story, between Zara and Sadie. They’re both huge fans of rom-coms and Sadie’s an incredible friend all along. Loved them!

wow! okay i really enjoyed this book. it had such a great flow between the plot and the characters and everything in between. This is a group to have fun in. For everyone. Think of others before you post or comment. I'm watching... Always watching... But then... I met him. Yahya. You might not know who I'm talking about so here's the lowdown: there was a guy I liked. A guy whose lips felt like clouds and who smelled like coffee infused with the tiniest hint of tobacco and chai with lemons. A guy who made me feel like myself at a time when I had to lie to just about everyone I knew. A guy who surprised me every day. I didn't anticipate falling for him, but I did. 'And then my world blew up…’” – Zara, This is How You Fall in Love Loved the plot. 100% loved the plot and it saved this whole book for me. It was SO refreshing to read a 100% YA romance novel. It has all the tropes, but they’re completely twisted in a way I’ve never seen before. I thought I knew what I was getting into when I started this book, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. There was plot-twist after plot-twist and it definitely kept me on my toes. Hats off for a book that didn’t turn out to be exactly what I thought it would be. No spoilers, here, but I liked how it surprised me a little bit here and there!Please tell me what you think, how I can improve this group, and what you'd like to see added. This isn't my group. It's ours.

There are lots of groups where authors and readers can connect, right? That's probably what you're thinking. And that's a valid argument. But I want this group to be different in a few ways: Best friends, fake dating, friends-to-lovers twists and a whopping web of secrets — Anika Hussain’s This is How You Fall in Love has a wonderful Desi girl at its beating heart and reels with romcom entertainment. Having a romance fan (both of books and movies) as a main character really added a little extra something to this story. We definitely see how expectations clash with reality, how everything Zara builds up in her head doesn’t end up happening as planned, because, well, life isn’t a perfect rom-com. There’s a lot to like about this book, though written for a much younger reader than me (once again I find 17 year olds more fun to read about than millennials). I like the South Asian representation and the fact that neither set of parents is stereotyped – Zara’s parents are second generation British and had a hard time themselves and are trying not to do that. Yes, there is a South Asian diabetes thread but then that does educate. Terms for clothes and food and other cultural things are used and not explained, which I always like. The friendship group is mixed and multicultural, which is nice, too. Goodreads Librarians are volunteers who help ensure the accuracy of information about books and authors in the Goodreads' catalog.
