Super Fake Love Song is a delightful YA rom-com! When Sunny Dae is first introduced to the amazing Cirrus Soh, he is star-struck. Mistaking his older brother Gray’s room as his, Cirrus thinks that Sunny is a musician. A panicked Sunny tells her that is actually the lead singer of a rock band. As the lies start to build, Sunny and his friends form a real band. With the help of Gray, Sunny and his friends start to create something real. But how long can Sunny keep up the facade?

I loved the strong themes of friendship, complex portrayal of siblings, and general silliness! While dealing with serious topics, the book is light-hearted and fun. The depiction of D&D and the unifying effect it had was great. With plenty of nerdiness and positive friendships, Super Fake Love Song is a sweet and soulful take on learning to be yourself AND how to create a rock band to impress someone you like!
