“The queer romance and the narrative’s determination not to shy away from discussing attitudes of entitlement distinguish this title.”—Kirkus Reviews

“This will appeal to readers fond of light-hearted romances and titles like Tim Federle’s The Great American Whatever and Ciara Smyth’s The Falling in Love Montage.” —School Library Journal

“With heaps of snark and scheming friends, I Think I Love You is a sweet, funny debut that juxtaposes romance lovers with romance cynics and shows that love – against all odds – always prevails.” —The Nerd Daily
