David Tung Can't Have a Girlfriend Until He Gets Into an Ivy League College by Ed Lin
4.0
I enjoyed this books ability to show a teens everyday struggles with school, family, and other various relationships. As someone with very few cultural ties to any culture, this book allowed me a glimpse into a different culture and its beliefs.
I thought the main character was very realistic and acted as a stressed, overachieving, teenage boy would. I think the family dynamics were interesting. I also think the comparison between school and Chinese school and the different behavior of the main character at each was enjoyable.
A few scenes left me feeling a little bit uncomfortable with the language used. However, I think this is due to my own personal feelings than anything the book actually did. I think the plot was interesting and I enjoyed how the story was concluded.
In conclusion, I recommend this book and think it is a quick, sweet read.
