A wonderful and timely novel on young love, family, race, and culture.
I came here for the fake dating trope; I stayed for the racial discourse and the generational story immigrant families.
Frankly in Love is about Frank Li dealing with his Korean-American identity, and his Korean parents. It’s about interracial dating and the immigrant dilemma and so much racial politics. It’s about the cut-throat competition of high school. It’s about being young and foolish and finding your people. It’s about laughter and love and life.
It’s beautiful, and everyone should read it because David Yoon does an incredible job capturing the nuances of navigating the vicissitudes of Life.
Expect to find bigger themes and greater answers to questions of immeasurable magnitude, because this book isn’t just a story of young love. It’s about so much more, and all of it so essential.
