Super Fake Love Song by David Yoon | Audiobook Review

Why Did I Listen To Super Fake Love Song?

Books that involve music might as well be my catnip. I love them! Granted, Super Fake Love Song by David Yoon is not entirely based around music but it plays a role. Also, the audiobook was on Volumes and appealed to me because I knew I could get to it faster via audio. Plus, there’s the fact that it is contemporary and lately I just find contemporary so much easier to follow via audio.

What’s The Story Here?

Super Fake Love Song stars Sunny Dae, a teenage boy who is a total nerd. I mean, he is so much of a nerd that he has this Youtube channel with his best friends where they make cosplay weapons for LARPing. They also play Dungeons and Dragons. Needless to say, Sunny is not popular at school. There’s this new girl at his school named Cirrus and she is so cool and confident.

She comes over to Sunny’s house and she ends up thinking that his older brother Gray’s room is his. Gray was a musician in high school and quite cool. So, because Sunny is super into Cirrus, he leans into her assumptions and fakes being in a band with his best friends. He starts wearing Gray’s old clothes and actually does form the band with his friends. Will his lies catch up to him though? Because really, at heart, he’s into the whole cosplay/LARP thing.

How Did I Like Super Fake Love Song?

This is the first book I’ve read from David Yoon and I genuinely loved it. Sunny Dae is such a good kid and a great protagonist. While it was shady to lie to Cirrus, I admire his dedication to impressing her. I also liked the development of the relationship between Sunny, Gray, and their parents. And don’t even get me started on Sunny’s friendships! I LOVED THEM!

How’s The Narration?

The audiobook is narrated by Micheel Bow and is 9 hours 3 minutes long. This was my first time also listening to an audiobook narrated by Micheel Bow but won’t be my last. He’s very believable as a teenage boy. I thought that the audiobook was well paced and actually kept my attention the whole way through. I’d absolutely recommend this audiobook if you’re interested in giving Super Fake Love Song a shot.
