Ever since Daniel moved to L.A. from Brazil to join the band Mischief & Mayhem, he’s become the tabloids’ bad boy. Paparazzi follow him and girls swoon over him . . . except for Sasha, who hates bad boys. When a chance encounter brings them together, Sasha sees an opportunity to get close to Daniel and write a story that will make a name for herself at the celebrity gossip magazine where she interns. But Daniel is surprisingly sweet and extremely cute—could she be falling for him?

The truth is: Daniel is hiding something. When Sasha discovers his secret, will she follow her heart or deliver the hottest story of the summer?

15 Reactions While reading Bad At Love by Gabriela Martins

 1- I love how Daniel invited Sasha over for a pool party on their date. 

2-Daniel and Sasha starting to have feelings for each other was so sweet. 

3-Daniel texting Sasha to go out, and Sasha saying she needs to look irresistible is so sweet.  

4- Sasha showing Daniel where the creatives in LA go is so sweet, and the two of them, are so sweet. 

5-How the bandmates support each other is so sweet,  and I love it. 

6-I’m not the biggest fan of Lloyd asking where Sasha’s loyalties lie. 

7- I love how Sasha and Daniel are talking and trying to establish their relationship. Also,  Daniel calling Sasha his first girlfriend is fantastic. 

8- While I don’t think that it should have been revealed before they were made publicly official,  I also know how the music industry works, and I think the revelation was interesting. 

9-I hope Sasha doesn’t find out about the bet the band made at the beginning of the summer. On the other hand, I hope that Daniel tells her so that everything is clear between the two of them.  

10- Daniel kissing Sasha was so sweet, and him with her after was such a sweet moment.  I loved seeing this interaction because it’s conversations like this that opens the door for LGBTQ+ people to be honest with their partners.  

11-We don’t hear much about Daniel’s family over the course of this story. It hit hard when Daniel’s dad called about his mother, and I felt bad for him and Helena. 

12-The scene with Sasha trying to find the band at the club is so sweet because she is trying to save the other girl from being hurt by Daniel. 

13-I’m glad that Sasha and Daniel cleared the air, but I still think they ended things badly. 

14-The concert scene with Sasha singing to Daniel was so sweet. 

15- The end of this was so sweet, and I just loved it!!!
