Frankly In Love by David Yoon
David Yoon’s debut novel, Frankly in Love was finally released today and I couldn’t be more excited! Why does that name sound so familiar you might ask? Because Yoon is not only the husband to novelist Nicola Yoon, the author to the New York Times bestsellers The Sun is Also a Star and Everything, Everything. . but he was also the illustrator for the book too! This fun and witty Korean-American rom-com is definitely one of the hottest YA books this fall.
Synopsis
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.
