This book made me ball like a little baby.  I released so much more to this book than I thought I would, and I fell in love with every aspect of it.  

 

Growing up Asian American, I have always felt torn between two worlds, and this perfectly highlighted that.  In the end, we are both in a way that makes us unique. 

 

The way love was shown in this book hit me right in the heart.  Each culture has its own way of expressing love and affection, and sometimes, that doesn’t always translate well with other people.  I grew up thinking that I was cold because that is what others told me, but this book is a good reminder that I just show love differently, and that’s okay. 

 

I loved watching each character grow and come into their own throughout the story.  And I loved that each relationship and friendship was so different.   

 

Also I love anything with fake dating.
