While I appreciate the attempt to tackle some of the toughest topics in a teenager's life, I feel like this did not portray what they go through in the most accurate way. The friendship between Emma and Kate made the entire book bearable to get to the end of it. I did not like the homophobic comments and the predictability of the entire novel. I actually guessed the ending of the book while reading chapter 2. I was really hoping this would be something I enjoyed all the way to the last page, but it sadly fell flat for me.

This book had a lot going on and didn't feel like it focused on one central plot point. There was also more heterosexuality than I expected within this story. I felt like I wanted more focus on the love story between Sophia and Emma than anything else. Overall, it was okay.

This was such a sweet read and definitely the first of many I will be reading by this author. I found all the characters relatable in their own way. The romance aspect was written so well.

I think this is a case of being too old for this particular book. I really wanted to read and love it, but it just didn’t click for me.

I Think I Love You is a sapphic teen romance novel written with all the author's best intentions and it really shines. I enjoyed the characters she created each with their own struggles and baggage that they must overcome in order to be successful in their romance as well as their own personal development. In terms of plot, it's fairly typical for a YA romance but the third-act break-up was written well and it made sense to the characters and their journey. Overall the author created a very sweet romance with a great sapphic rep, it's an easy recommendation to any teen or educator looking to expand their library.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this copy of I THINK I LOVE YOU. Reviews has been posed on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Absolutely loved this queer romance and the chemistry between the two main characters. I think a book like this is such a light and wonderful read for teen readers.

(i received this e-arc from netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.)

sometimes all you need is feel-good, sapphic content as a reason to keep living. suffice to say, this book *is* my reason to carry on.

A good rivals to lovers plotline is so hard to find and when i do I eat that sh*t up. This book was SO good. I loved both the main characters and I felt like I was really watching them fall in love.

DNF around 20% in. The two main characters annoyed me and I didn't care what was going on. I'm not faulting the book as I think this is all because of my book tastes. Thank you for the opportunity,

This one was a real miss for me. I had a hard time clicking into the characters and the plot. If sapphic romances are big in your collection, it's an automatic add. It's cute, but not my fav.

I Think I Love You is a bisexual YA F/F romcom told in alternating perspectives between Emma and Sophia. Emma is a romantic. She loves love, and she’s happy to play matchmaker with her friends. Sophia is the anti-romantic: after her parents split up, she now doesn’t believe in (romantic) love. When Emma tries to make a bisexual romcom to enter in a film contest, Sophia refuses, hoping to direct something artsy and tragic. Their bickering splits the friend group in half–but this is a romcom, so it doesn’t end there, especially when her friends come up with a scheme to try to reunite the groups.

This is a classic enemies-to-lovers/hate-to-love romance story, chockful of tropes. Emma and Sophia get in heated arguments, hurling out insults that cut to the quick–but even when they’re fuming, they’re still absentmindedly noting how the other’s face lights up when she laughs. At first, I was worried that Sophia was too cruel in their arguments, but as the book goes on, they both give as good as they get.

Both the strengths and weaknesses of this story are in its relationship to romcoms: if that’s a format you love, you’ll probably enjoy this one. If you’re allergic to romance tropes, though, I’d advise giving it a pass. As much as the relationship between Sophia and Emma is the focus of the story, it’s not what I appreciated the most.

I read this for Book Riot’s All the Books podcast, where Liberty and a rotating crew of cohosts discuss the books out that day. I happened to pick two bisexual contemporary YA novels, both out March 2nd, that both discussed bisexuality as an identity category in a way that resonated with me. (The other is Follow Your Arrow by Jessica Verdi, which I will review soon!) In this one, Emma worries about feeling like she shouldn’t make a big deal of her bisexuality–but it is a big deal to her, and it’s a significant part of her identity. She worries about coming out to her parents. Partly because they have made some offhand ignorant comments in the past, but also because she doesn’t know how to communicate how important it is to her. I think that bisexuality is often downplayed as not significant: when bi women are in relationships with another woman, they’re still seen as basically a lesbian, and when they’re with a man, they’re seen as essentially straight. It’s not often respected as a distinct identity, and one that can be just as meaningful to that person as being gay is. (Which is to say that everyone has their own relationship to labels.)

I also enjoyed the relationship between Emma and her cousin, Kate. Kate is a fatshionista who is unfailingly kind, and Emma absolutely idolizes her. That is likely tied to Emma’s low self-esteem, but I liked seeing this fiercely protective relationship between the two of them: I don’t read a lot of stories with friendships or family relationships that are that intense unless they’re siblings.

I’ll admit, sometimes I Think I Love You verged on the melodramatic for me, but it delivers exactly what it promises. It’s a hate-to-love story with bickering, banter, and heartfelt moments. I was worried that one aspect of the plot was going in a wildly unrealistic direction, but I was happy to proven wrong. If you want a romcom read with a bit of cheesiness, but also a great discussion of coming out as bi, give this one a try!

A sweet, thoughtful queer teen romance. Had a little edge compared to more recent LGBTQ YA. Highly recommend picking it up!

I Think I Love You is a decent enough book if you're looking for something light and easy to breeze through. It is a very cliche and predictable WLW enemies-to-lovers tropey contemporary romantic comedy.
Emma is in love with love and just wants to produce a student film featuring bisexual romance in a positive and realistic light.
Sophia is jaded by the idea of love after her parent's divorce and her mother's quick marriage to a new man in France, as well as her own love trouble after being ghosted by a girl she liked during her year in Paris.
Of course these two start out in a bitter rivalry despite being parts of the same friend group. And of course they're manipulated into falling in love despite being on opposing student film projects.
Again, this book is not a terrible read but definitely lacks anything unique or particularly interesting.

I thought this was a good young adult romance. There were some points where I would get so frustrated with the main characters Emma and Sophia. Along with their friend group thinking they can play matchmaker. I like the idea of a group of friends wanting to make a short film to submit to competition, but things go wrong from the beginning. I thought the ending was good and it ended where it should. By the end Emma and Sophia grew on me.

3.5 stars
I thought this was a fun YA contemporary read. The main characters got annoying at times, especially with their miscommunication, but I otherwise had no major issues with this. I thought it was acute and fluffy queer romance and I appreciated that.

I found this to be an enjoyable read, keeping me on my toes throughout. The storyline was written well and flowed seamlessly. I look forward to reading more by this author!

Oh wow, this romance was a quick read as it’s very captivating. I was hooked onto this story because the characters are just so heartwarming. I loved this one.

This is the f/f romcom you've been waiting for!!

I loved everything about the enemies-to-lovers romcom set in fabulous NY! Desombre perfectly captures the feel of being a student in New York, and the chemistry between Emma and Sophia manages to be both swoony and sweet.

This is one of my fav reads of 2019 and 2020 can't get here soon enough!!!

I did try and get into this one, but I don’t particularly ever enjoy books that have to do with social media or celebrities. I will give it an average rating of 3 stars though since I wasn’t able to reach the 50% mark. DNF.
