À propos de cet ebook
A WILLIAM C. MORRIS YOUNG ADULT AWARD FINALIST • In this romantic dramedy, a young Taiwanese American girl desperate to connect to her heritage agrees to be a dating coach for her co-worker in exchange for Mandarin lessons—a flawless plan until she starts to catch feelings. . . .
“A funny and deeply moving exploration of family, love, grief, and self-discovery.”—Nicole Chung, bestselling author of All You Can Ever Know
“A must-read for anyone searching for hope and home.”—Mariama J. Lockington, Stonewall Honor and Schneider Family Book Award-winning author of For Black Girls Like Me
Taiwanese American Catie Carlson has never fit in with her white family. As much as she loves her stepmom and stepsister, she yearns to understand more about her culture and find her biological mother.
So Catie is shocked when an opportunity comes knocking on her door: Her summer spa coworker, Toby, says he’ll teach her Mandarin. In exchange, she needs to teach him how to date so he can finally work up the courage to ask out his crush. The only problem is that Catie doesn’t actually have any dating experience. But she can fake it.
With her late father’s copy of The Five Love Languages and all his annotated notes, Catie becomes the perfect dating coach. Or so she thinks. As she gets dangerously close to Toby and to finding out what really happened to her biological mom, she realizes that learning the language of love might be tougher than she thought.
A fresh, fun romance as well as a profound, luminous story about grief, family, transracial adoption, and what it means to truly follow your heart.
