I Think They Love You
I Think They Love You | Julian Winters
3 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
With his funny, big-hearted adult rom com debut, bestselling, award-winning YA author Julian Winters shows sometimes fake dating your ex can turn into a second chance. When Denzel "Denz" Carter's workaholic father and CEO of 24 Carter Gold unexpectedly announces his retirement, the competition is on for who will become his successor. To convince his family members that he's capable of commitment, Denz impulsively lies about being in a serious relationship. Now Denz needs to find a fake boyfriend to seal the deal on the CEO position. Denz is forced to turn to the last person he wants to be in a pretend (or any) relationship with: Braylon, the man who broke his heart. Braylon's sudden reappearance in Denz's life turns everything upside down. But, apparently, he needs Denz's connections to the mayor to win his own promotion. So, they strike a deal. It's all business until the funny texts and the confusing kisses leave Denz struggling to separate this temporary arrangement from the affairs of his heart. I Think They Love You is a celebration of love, queer communities, big families--in all their beautiful complications-- healing, and, most importantly, falling in love with the person you're becoming.

Veteran YA writer Julian Winters‘s adult debut is all kinds of moreish with its punchy prose and characters so vibrant you know they‘re off living full lives even when they aren‘t in Denz‘s orbit. Add in plenty of jokes, a few wacky hijinks, and an ever-applicable knowledge of the romcom canon and you‘ve got something that‘s mighty hard to put down. If you‘re at all interested in contemporary romance, you want it when it drops on January 28th.

I was gonna save my ARC of if I THINK THEY LOVE YOU for the new year, but I couldn‘t resist starting it last night and I‘ve struggled to put it down since. It‘s exactly what I feel like: a contemporary romance with great energy and vibrant characters.

The beer was 100% a can buy that paid off. It‘s a tasty, low-alcohol offering that goes down easy with a bit of a bite. $0.10 from every can goes to artist Cyndi Wiebe, too.

Not me hiding my Kindle during the steamy parts &hiding my tears during the serious moments while on a plane (the laughter I figured I could get away w/). This book has it all.

I originally grabbed this for the cover. 2nd chance romances are hit &miss for me, but I like fake dating so was curious how much I‘d enjoy it. I loved it! The handling of both tropes was done so well &every character had rich &complex personalities along w/growth.
