This smart, romantic, and totally original coming-of-age YA contemporary debut about a Korean-American teen falling in (and out) of love is perfect for fans of The Sun is Also a Star, Eleanor & Park, and Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda.

High school senior Frank Li is a Limbo--his term for Korean-American kids who find themselves caught between their parents' traditional expectations and their own Southern California upbringing. His parents have one rule when it comes to romance--"Date Korean"--which proves complicated when Frank falls for Brit Means, who is smart, beautiful--and white. Fellow Limbo Joy Song is in a similar predicament, and so they make a pact: they'll pretend to date each other in order to gain their freedom. Frank thinks it's the perfect plan, but in the end, Frank and Joy's fake-dating maneuver leaves him wondering if he ever really understood love--or himself--at all.

?A perfect blend of rom and com,...

...two of my favorite things in the world?.

Se o Rick Riordan resolvesse escrever um livro clichê de adolescente bem estilo Esposa de Mentirinha, esse seria o resultado. NADA nessa combinação poderia não dar certo.

Minha única crítica é: não existe racismo reverso!!!!!!!! Um dos personagens fica falando sobre racismo contra pessoas brancas em certo momento e eu só queria estapear ele.
