This charming YA rom-com follows a strong-willed, ambitious teen as she teams up with her childhood frenemy to start a dating-advice column, perfect for fans of Emma Lord and Gloria Chao.

Juliana Zhao is absolutely certain of a few things:

1. She is the world’s foremost expert on love.

2. She is going to win the nationally renowned Asian Americans in Business Competition.

When Juliana is unceremoniously dropped by her partner and she’s forced to pair with her nonconformist and annoying frenemy, Garrett Tsai, everything seems less clear. Their joint dating advice column must be good enough to win and secure bragging rights within her small Taiwanese American community, where her family’s reputation has been in the pits since her older sister was disowned a few years prior.

Juliana always thought prestige mattered above all else. But as she argues with Garrett over how to best solve everyone else’s love problems and faces failure for the first time, she starts to see fractures in this privileged, sheltered worldview.

With the competition heating up, Juliana must reckon with the sacrifices she’s made to be a perfect daughter—and whether winning is something she even wants anymore.

• Frenemies to Lovers: She thinks she’s a love expert. He thinks love is for fools. When they’re forced to work together, they discover their rivalry might be masking something more.
• Rivals to Romance: The only thing more intense than the business competition is the tension between Juliana and Garrett. They’re supposed to be partners, but they might be each other’s biggest distraction.
• Taiwanese American Romance: Juggling family expectations and community gossip is hard enough. Falling for her infuriating childhood frenemy is a complication Juliana Zhao did not need.
• Academic Rivals: She’s the ambitious valedictorian, he’s the brilliant artist who couldn’t care less about the Ivy League. Their opposing worldviews clash on every page.
