Review

This book is a wonderful tale of romance, and it has a formula if you need to know how to get a boyfriend. Desi is a Korean high school senior in CA. She lives with her dad. Her deceased mom was a brain surgeon. Desi is going to go to Stanford to follow in her mom's footsteps. She is a straight A student, with very little confidence in herself as a possible girlfriend. She has two best friends, Wes a heartthrob , and Fiona a beautiful lesbian. Her friends tease her for her flailures Flirt/Failures. Then a new boy comes to her school. She knows he is the one. Their first encounter doesn't go well, her pants fall off exposing her underwear. She is great at everything from sports to everything else in school but art. New guy is an art major. Her dad likes to watch Korean Drama series on romance. Demi decides that this is the formula she needs to stop being a flailure. High school life depicted by hard working realistic characters. If you are interested in watching some of the series mentioned in the book there is "The Ultimate K Drama Starter Guide" in the back. It includes titles and different genres of story lines.

Overall Book Score: good
