The School Library Journal wrote "Summer romance fun with substance describes not only this novel but also its scrumptious male lead." and "The characters are dynamic and realistic. Strong narrative pacing adds to the whole sun-kissed package, which is on par with authors such as Sarah Dessen and Deb Caletti."Kirkus Reviews in its review of What I thought was True wrote "What starts out as snappy chick-lit writing quickly becomes deeper and more complex." and found "natural dialogue and authentic characters abound." while Booklist called it "A must for collections that can't keep Sarah Dessen, Stephanie Perkins, or YA summer romance titles on the shelves."
