David Tung Can't Have a Girlfriend Unless He Gets Into an Ivy League College by Ed Lin
3.0
I received an advanced copy of this on my Kindle thanks to the publisher and Net Galley, so thank you very much for providing me with a copy of 'David Tung Can't Have a Girlfriend Until He Gets into an Ivy League School."
What I liked about this was first the cover (gorgeous!) and the title, even if it was a bit long!
I really enjoyed the narration of David and learning about an average Chinese-American upbringing, through the eyes of a Chinese-American young protagonist. I felt like I gained some insight into an upbringing I otherwise have no first-hand experience and the parental pressures he faced.
That being said, I felt like parts of it dragged a little, but I did find the dialogue humorous and David to be an overall really likable character. YA novels can be hit or miss with me, with some falling somewhere in between, and this fell in the 'in-between' for me.
Still, a cute fun read!
