I'm not going to lie, about a quarter of the way into this book, I was ready to close it and put it back on the shelf. The way "nerds" were being portrayed in the start felt so cliche and the amount of second-hand embarrassment I felt for the main character, Sunny, while reading was almost unbearable.
I pushed through, however, and I'm so glad that I did. While the beginning of the story still doesn't sit entirely right with me, by the time I finished reading, I saw the significance of it being written the way it was.
Overall, Super Fake Love Song was a really cute story. I found myself rooting for Sunny more and more as I worked my way through the story. David Yoon did a great job of making sure the side characters were fully fleshed out as well, which is always appreciated.
By the time I was a little over halfway through the book, I couldn't put it down. I needed to know what was going to happen next.
The one fault I did find with the book, aside from my issues with the first quarter, was that the story was very heavily dialogue based. While this is something I don't personally love, I don't think it's something that should make or break a book
