Well, I wanted to read this book because I felt like reading something light.
Most of the time, I don't enjoy YA novels, especially when there a romance going on. Manly because those romances are idiotic love triangles, where the girl is immature and there's always a douchebag of a guy. Anyway, although I didn't laugh at all as some critics said you would I did read it with a silly smile and a light heart. Sure, it can be predictable, but it can also be a fun heartfelt reading.
I must say that as a Portuguese, it was a pleasant surprise to see a mention of Portuguese culture even if a culinary one, we are proud of our cuisine. ( )
