Frank loves Joy. Joy loves Frank. At least, that´s what they tell their parents... David Yoon´s debut novel is a quirky, authentic, heartbreaking romantic comedy and a refreshingly different take on race, immigrant communities, friendship and family.
Frank Li is a high school senior living in Southern California. Frank´s parents emigrated from Korea, and have pretty much one big rule for Frank - he must only date Korean girls.
But he´s got strong feelings for a girl in his class, Brit - and she´s not Korean. His friend Joy Song is in the same boat and knows her parents will never accept her Chinese American boyfriend, so they make a pact: they´ll pretend to date each other in order to gain their freedom.
Frank thinks fake-dating is the perfect plan, but it leaves him wondering if he ever really understood love - or himself - at all.
