Prior to reading this book, I was not overly familiar with korean culture and did not know much about how the families work and what their expectations are for their children's future. I loved Frank Li and thought he had a good strong personality and was extremely funny. I could picture the "Gatherings" with his family and really felt for the estranged relationship that he had with his sister Hanna. She was disowned when she married a black man. Frank is expected to conform to the expectation that he will one day marry a korean woman and that he will only ever date korean girls. There is a problem; he likes a white girl. He has a korean friend that has the same predicament. She is dating a chinese boy. They run interference for each other and end up falling in love. However, then his dad has an argument with her father and she is no longer good enough. There was so much humor in this book and I found the characters very endeering. Thanks for the ARC, BookishFirst!
