Super Fake Love Song by David Yoon

4.0

David Yoon has such skill in capturing the teen experience, and he has fun with it. Dialogue among characters is entertaining and very real, and our main character’s inner thoughts ring true. On top of sharing the truth of adolescence, Yoon also opens a window on the Korean-American experience, or that of any Asians: the feeling of being an outsider, of being teased for your culture (or what seems more like your parents’ culture). This story is set in Southern California, but in an upscale area that is low on Asians or minorities in general. Yoon exposes just how far we have to go as Americans in removing prejudice against the Other. But it’s not overdone or the focus of the story, just a natural outgrowth of the character and his situation. I had a great time reading his Frankly in Love, and this newer book certainly didn’t disappoint. I recommend it, particularly because this one has only a moderate rating, rather than the high of Frankly.
