Frank Li is the son of Korean immigrants living in California. His parents have a whole set of rules he has to follow like only allowing him to date other Korean Americans, so that becomes a big problem whenever he starts having feelings for Brit, someone who is definitely not Korean.
He wants to date her but he knows that his parents will never approve. But lucky for him, Joy, another Korean American, has the same problem with her Chinese American boyfriend so they decide to hatch a plan to advert their parent's attention.
But what happens when things don't go as planned?
Frank Li was funny and he made me smile, but at the same time, I thought that he was a little like the typical teenager. His actions sometimes seemed a bit immature and a little like he didn't put much thought into them.
More than just a love story between two teenagers, it goes more into the struggles growing up Asian American. As someone who is also Asian American, I can relate to a lot of the differences and struggles that Frank had to go through.
Although I wanted to love this book so much more, Frankly in Love was a good read about Frank and his road to finding himself in society. It deals with his struggles as an Asian American but also incorporates a fake dating tope which I enjoyed.
