I have mixed feelings on this because it did some things well, like touching on being the child of immigrants especially Asian immigrants, and some things not as well. I didn't hate the teen romance overall but think it could've been haven't a little differently/better. I teared up a little bit with everything that happened with Frank and his dad but some of the things seemed a little rushed.
Also didn't hate the end but didn't love it either.
It maybe sort of hints at how Frank and Evon's relationship might shift as they go to college but I wish Frank and Joy was a little better wrapped up and how Frank and Q navigate their relationship as well!

This book perfectly captures the obnoxious/cringey/naive way teenagers think, talk, and act. An insight into what it's like being the son of Korean immagrant parents and trying to find your way in the world.

Honestly, I'm not the right person to write a review about this book. My thoughts are not OwnVoices in the slightest, so I'll keep it incredibly brief:

This book is hard to read. It tackles a lot--a LOT-- of really difficult racial and political topics. If you think you're about to read a cute YA romcom, just know that's not what you'll be getting. The romance is minimal, the family is priority, and the hard conversations take center stage.

I enjoyed the almost dark teen humor and the author's way of writing. However, I don't think I would be desperate to pick up the next book in the series.

Was not a romance book. It was a book about romance. And I loved that. ~~because romance makes me uncomfortable.~~ Everything was so accurate to my life. It was crazy. Cried at the end. 고마워요!!
