David Tung Can't Have a Girlfriend Unless He Gets Into an Ivy League College by Ed Lin

3.0

This is a well-written book, fast paced and has some interesting characters. I sympathized with the character of Betty a lot, she was definitely my favourite. This book realistically depicts the pressure that some students are under, often because of their parents. If I had a mom like David, I probably would never visit her after I’d gone away to college. I mean it is one thing to want your kids to do well, but the pressure she put him under, and the rude things she said to him… that is no way to treat your child. Also the father was too passive, he just stayed silent and ran along with whatever his wife wanted.
When David got the interview for the internship (and then the internship) I was so excited, and every time he was nervous about something I felt so empathetic about it, as if I myself were about to take a test or do an interview.
