Frankly in Love by David Yoon

3.0

Frankly in Love is about a high school senior called Frank Li (pun intended) who constantly feels at odds with his dual Korean American heritage, especially when it comes to dating.

Like any eighteen-year-old teenager, he has to face the adolescent pressures of SAT scores and college prep but there's also the pressure of appeasing Mom'n'Dad who only want him to date Korean girls. His childhood friend, Joy Song, also of Korean descent is in the same predicament, so the two decide to start 'fake dating' as a cover for their own secret relationships.

This book is a swoonworthy teen drama, complete with all the breaking-up, making-up and precociousness, synonymous with adolescence. It was a lighthearted easy read that I completed in a weekend and felt like something I could enjoy as an indulgent guilty pleasure read.
