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.

"This was kind of hit or miss for me. I think this author has a really charming writing style, and I loved the Thai cultural references and family dynamics. However, the romantic plot relied way too much on ridiculous misunderstandings and overreactions and neither boy’s motivation really made sense to me."

"I fell in love with YA because of books like this one. The kind that will fill your heart whole and will make you feel complete! The Thai culture captivated in this book is detailed so well, and I related because of my own Mexican culture. I could not believe all the similarities, and I felt so connected with the characters and family, that so much of what they went through reflected my own experiences as well. <br/><br/>I fell in love with the sisterly dynamic of Winnie and her sisters. I never had sisters, but this book definitely made me wish I had them. A novel about family, first loves, friendships, what more could you ask for? <br/><br/>This is one of the best own voices rom com I’ve read in a while. <br/><br/>I recommend it to anyone who loves a well written, wonderful YA romance, perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Nicola Yoon. This one will stay with me for a while, and it’s just the book I needed between two thrillers in my TBR. Can’t wait to read this one again very soon!"
