Super Fake Love Song

Schlecht

Eine super witzige Geschichte über die Identitätsfindung eines Highschool Schülers

I don't know. I liked Super Fake Love Song better than [b:Frankly in Love|39847584|Frankly in Love|David Yoon|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1549919762l/39847584._SX50_.jpg|61616513], and it didn't do anything wrong, but I feel like David Yoons books just aren't for me. Assuming that people reading this review already know what it is about, I won't tell you again. Let me just say that I feel like I've watched/read this story - someone faking something to impress their love interest - so many times and every time the story goes and ends the exactly same way. I'm over it. Not sure why I wanted to read this regardless. When I think about it being about a bunch of nerd kids in high school pretending to be in a rock band and wearing all black and band shirts I should've LOVED this. Because that was basically me (minus the pretending rock band). I also really liked the development of the relationship between Sunny and Gray and Sunny and his parents. I get the topics of siblings growing apart and getting close again as well as sibling rivalry. I get that relationships with parents are complicated - especially in those teenager years. His friendship with Jamal and Milo was fine. But all the other relationships I didn't get. First - Gunner?! I'm trying not to spoil anything here, but I just HATED how things evolved with this coward and bully. And second - Cirrus. There's nothing wrong with her, but I didn't feel any chemistry between her and Sunny. He thought she was hot from the beginning and they liked each other as friends - but that's it. I didn't get any cute romantic vibes from their relationship. All in all I didn't hate the book, but it could've been more special. Maybe if I was the right age/target audience, I would've enjoyed it more. And that's why I rated it 3 stars. Maybe this is a case of me expecting too much. ~3 stars Trigger warnings: bullying, distant parents, racist microaggressions

Fake it 'til you make it! Meine Meinung: Ich liebe Liebe liebe den lockeren Schreibstil von David Yoon, es war in diesem Fall wie ein Lied, die Geschichte floss immer weiter und ich war gefangen im Bann von seinen Worten und dem was geschah. Über die Taten des Protagonisten kann man jetzt streiten, aber für mich ist Sunny Dae ein lustiger, nerdiger und nachvollziehbarer MC. Wobei ich starke Pluspunkte an seine beiden besten Freunde verteilen muss, die immer (IMMER) an seiner Seite stehen und dem ganzen Buch die wahre Bedeutung von Freundschaft verleihen, deswegen (auch wenn das Buch love im Titel hat) ging es viel mehr um Freundschaft und die Selbstfindung eines Teenagers. Die Lovestory an und für sich war meiner Meinung nach doch eher ein Subplot, aus dem sich der eigentliche Plot entwickelt hat. Es steckt viel mehr hinter der ganzen Geschichte, so viel kann ich sagen, ohne zu spoilern. Zu alldem hat Super fake love song eine unproblematische Art und Weise nicht zu 100% weiße Charaktere zu repräsentieren und das im Setting von California.

3,5/5 Es war nh süße Story, keine Frage, aber irgendwie hat mir die Tiefe in der Beziehung der Charaktere gefehlt. Die Story konnte mich leider kaum fesseln und das Lesen hat sich ewig hingezogen.

Leider sind mir die Figuren zu blass und die Liebesgeschichte packt mich nicht. https://www.sarahhatsgetestet.de/2023/04/rezension-super-fake-love-song.html
