Dating Makes Perfect
Dating Makes Perfect | Pintip Dunn
6 posts | 7 read | 9 to read
The Tech sisters don’t date in high school. Not because they’re not asked. Not because they’re not interested. Not even because no one can pronounce their long, Thai last name—hence the shortened, awkward moniker. But simply because they’re not allowed. Until now. In a move that other Asian American girls know all too well, six months after the older Tech twins got to college, their parents asked, “Why aren’t you engaged yet?” The sisters retaliated by vowing that they won’t marry for ten (maybe even twenty!) years, not until they’ve had lots of the dating practice that they didn’t get in high school. In a shocking war on the status quo, her parents now insist that their youngest daughter, Orrawin (aka “Winnie”), must practice fake dating in high school. Under their watchful eyes, of course—and organized based on their favorite rom-coms. ’Cause that won’t end in disaster. The first candidate? The son of their longtime friends, Mat Songsomboon—arrogant, infuriating, and way too good-looking. Winnie’s known him since they were toddlers throwing sticky rice balls at each other. And her parents love him. If only he weren’t her sworn enemy.

I received this YA book as an ARC but didn't get to it before it was published. It read like a mix between Yoon's Frankly In Love (Thai culture dating expectations from a female POV instead of Korean male) × Han's All The Boys I've Loved Before trilogy (strong sister bonds) × 80s-90s RomComs. Not Earth shattering, friends to enemies to fake dating trope, but I enjoyed experiencing life from another culture within the covers.

I really enjoyed this book. I listened to the audiobook and had so many laugh out loud moments. I love the whole fake dating and this book had a lot of it. The Tech sisters aren‘t allowed to date in high school. But when Winnie‘s parents change their mind she is so excited. Until she finds out who they picked. Mat her once best friend now enemy. I loved Mat and Winnie and didn‘t want their story to end.
