Well, That Was Unexpected | 
Book 89/100 of the year.
💬Here, she's laid-back and cheerful and like...a woman instead of a mother, which is utterly weird.
Oh god, it just strikes me that maybe she's got a crush on someone. Maybe it's George's dad. Eww. Can people in their late thirties even have crushes? That's, like, way ancient to have a crush. 💬
A bit like ‘Crazy Rich Asians‘ in that an American Born Chinese (ABC) is brought back to Asia and has to cope with a culture (in this case Indonesian-Chinese) and family that she knows nothing about.
Ch 8 - hilarious because it‘s obvious (from the quality of English) that the parents are setting up their kids on a dating app, but they don‘t realise and are thrilled that they‘ve found perfect (by their lights) partners.
panIt just didn't hit the right notes for me. It took me a little bit to get into the story, but there were a few fun moments in the middle. I really loved some of the family antics, but the main characters I didn't really care for. There didn't seem like much there. The romance part of it also fell a little flat for me.
Reading with Amelia… But also we unexpectedly are buying a gorgeous Craftsman house a block from our current rental!! The previous buyer backed out and we were the lucky runners up 😂
pickThis book was so cute! I really enjoyed the fake dating trope. I definitely need to read the other books by this author. They have been on my TBR for awhile and I need to get to them! Also this is probably one of my favorite boxes from OUABC so far! I loved all of the gifts that came with this book!
so-soThis average YA rom-com was an adequate vacation read. Read my full review here: https://debbybrauer.org/#well-that-was-unexpected
pickOMG, this was amazing! This was hilarious and touching, so much fun to read, and I loved everything about it. I had to finish this in one sitting because I could not find a stopping point.
