Frankly in Love by David Yoon

Frankly in Love is about Frank Li. He is a high school student who is a first generation Korean American,  who is caught between two worlds. The world of his parents and their culture and the world of being a "typical" American teen. 

Frank Li's parents only have one rule about dating and that is to date Korean and when he falls for Brit Means, his life becomes complicated. Frank and Joy (a girl who is the daughter of his parents friends) make a pact to fake date so that they can date their prospective partners in secret. Thi
s results in an unexpected (or in my case expected) turn of events.

This is an okay read and the only moment I was truly intrigued was when Frank Li's father becomes a central part to the story, which lead to me wanting to know more about the Li's and less about Frank. This is a great book to read after having read something heavy.
