Dating Makes Perfect by Pintip Dunn
4.0
As a teenager who has grown up with little to no dating, Dating Makes Perfect was such a refreshing and relating book.
Winnie’s character is funny, sweet, and innocent. She’s 100% an authentic teenager. Her relationships with her sisters, parents, friends, and love interests made this book what it was. The focus on relationships was so nice to see, especially when I found it to be accurate to the teenaged experience. Throughout the book, I fell in love with the relationships between the characters.
Secondly, I found the fake dates to be so, so adorable. From shopping to restaurants, each date supplied me with a substantial amount of serotonin (especially because they were based off of romance movies?! How cute!).
I also loved the enemies-to-lovers in this book. I haven’t read one in a contemporary yet, so I was very happy to see it represented (especially in such a realistic way). Maybe I can finally get my enemies-to-lovers moment...
Fourth, as a white person, it is my responsibility to learn about and educate myself on different cultures. I was pleasantly surprised to have learned about Thai culture in this book! Especially the food...ESPECIALLY the food.
Overall, Dating Makes Perfect was a sweet, funny, and short book supplied with fluffy moments, real talk, mouth-watering food descriptions, and a fantastic enemies-to-lovers relationship.
