Books like Dating Makes Perfect

The Tech sisters don’t date in high school. Not because they’re not asked. Not because they’re not interested. Not even because no one can pronounce their long, Thai last name — hence the shortened, awkward moniker. But simply because they’re not allowed.Until now. Sixteen-year-old Panida just wants to find herself since her older sisters have deserted her for higher education. Midnight karaoke parties are *not* the same when there’s only one of you. Too bad her parents have other plans. In a move that other Asian American girls know all too well, one month after the older Tech twins got to college, her parents asked, “Why aren’t you engaged yet?” Her sisters retaliated by vowing that they won’t marry for ten (maybe even twenty!) years, not until they’ve had LOTS of dating practice. So now, her parents have declared war on the status quo. Not only must their youngest daughter, Panida, date in high school in order to practice her relationship skills, but she must do so under their watchful eyes.The Techs will decide when, where, and how each date occurs. And with whom. *Especially* with whom.Their first candidate? The son of their long-time friends, Mat Songsomboon— arrogant, dreamy, and infuriating. Panida’s known him since they were toddlers throwing sticky rice balls at each other —and he would be the perfect person for her to practice dating. If only he weren’t her sworn enemy.
