Finished this a few days ago but was out of town-very cute YA read (and third in a row for my unintentional We Need Diverse Books read). Desi Lee is a super motivated Type A person in almost all aspects of her life... except for dating. When a cute new boy comes to their school, Desi decides she'll fix her flailures (flirting fails) by creating rules to get her man, derived from watching several series of K-Dramas.

I think I'd pick up on more references to tropes had I watched any k-dramas before, but it was a cute frame structure and she's such a likeable teen. Hooray for teen girls! ( )

This read was the one book by this author that I had not read before. It had a super cute concept and it was a cute read. I think using K drama concepts to land your man is a fun concept. I thought the overall this read was cute but some elements of this story came acrosss as being a bit manliptuve in geeneral as a character. I read through this book super quick but the story did not wow me it. I did like the characters overall!! ( )

OH MY GOD LOVE LOVE LOVE

(thank you to my wonderful Sestra Samantha for lending me her copy)

I'll go a bit more into this closer to the date, but guys I think I needed to be best friends Desi in High school because honestly she's my kind of cool. ( )

LOVED the cultural elements--Desi's dad is one of the cutest fathers I've read recently--but this was quite airy and light. There was no substitute behind the romance and the ending irked me. But it was an easy, sweet read. ( )
