I Believe In A Thing Called Love

"If you find yourself incapable of resisting goofily premised, made-for-TV romantic comedies but wish they had a bit more emotional depth and fewer white people, Maurene Goo’s sweet and hilarious YA romance may be just your cup of tea. Overachieving Desi Lee is on her way to graduating at the top of her class, but when it comes to romance she is prone to “flailure” – epic flirting failures – like hacking mucus onto a crush or accidentally pantsing herself. Desi thinks she’s hopeless – until she watches her Korean dad’s favorite K-Drama and realizes what her love life’s been missing: a highly regimented plan, aka Desi Lee’s 24 K-Drama Steps to True Love. High jinks and surprisingly realistic emotional development ensue, along with a fizzily compelling love story."
