Frankly in Love by David Yoon

medium-paced

3.0

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!

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!!

aside from the writing style being slightly cringey this book was very cute, the ending was so bittersweet
