Two friends. One fake dating scheme. What could possibly go wrong? Frank’s parents expect him to end up with a nice Korean girl–which is a problem, since Frank is dating the girl of his dreams: Brit Means. Brit, who is funny and nerdy just like him. Brit . . . who is white. Desperate to be with Brit, Frank turns to friend Joy Song. Together, they come up with a plan to help each other and keep their parents off their backs. As Frank falls in love for the first time, he’s left wondering whether he ever really knew anything about love—or himself—at all.
