Gahh, swoon! Mixed tapes of 80s music and big white girls falling in love with boys of Asian descent?! Hello, my life. I usually flee in horror from any book that could be called a "romance," but the time period and the protagonists (as well as this book's inclusion on the list of best books of 2013 for young adults) convinced me to give it a go. I really enjoyed how the family lives of both kids added so much to who they are as characters. And now I need to know what happens next even though I know that I can't. Sigh. I wonder if I can get my husband to wear eyeliner...
