Who Would Like This Book:
Looking for a sweet, swoony, and utterly charming YA romance? This book is perfect for fans of light-hearted love stories, quirky protagonists, and fun 'secret pen pal' setups à la "You've Got Mail." You'll fall for Lily's relatable awkwardness, the witty back-and-forth banter, adorable family chaos, and genuinely supportive friendships. If you love stories with a dash of music, a sprinkle of angst, and a big, warm-hearted family dynamic, you'll race through this read. Anyone who needs a feel-good escape or a smile-inducing pick-me-up will be delighted by this one.
Who May Not Like This Book:
If you crave unpredictable twists, deep drama, or intense character complexity, this book might not blow you away. Some readers found it predictable, relying on classic tropes, and thought the plot was more 'cute distraction' than memorable journey. If a slow start, mild conflict, or a slightly cliché YA setting isn't for you - or if you're not into epistolary romances and songwriting sprinkled throughout - you might feel this one lacks substance or emotional heft.

Ok questo è il terzo libro di fila che leggo in una giornata. Sono proprio in fase romance ahah
Ps: I Like You è un romanzo YA molto divertente e interessante. Il meccanismo delle lettere anonime è già stato affrontato altre volte in molti romance, tuttavia la West lo rende in qualche modo diverso da tutti gli altri. La storia di Cade e Lily è davvero carina: non posso dire che mi abbia lasciato chissà quante emozioni, però mi ha fatto trascorrere delle ore di serenità durante questa sessione infernale.
loved it!
