Dating Makes Perfect by Pintip Dunn

arc review
official blurb
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. In a move that other Asian American girls know all too well, six months after the older Tech twins got to college, their parents asked, “Why aren’t you engaged yet?” The sisters retaliated by vowing that they won’t marry for ten (maybe even twenty!) years, not until they’ve had lots of the dating practice that they didn’t get in high school. In a shocking war on the status quo, her parents now insist that their youngest daughter, Orrawin (aka “Winnie”), must practice fake dating in high school. Under their watchful eyes, of course—and organized based on their favorite rom-coms. ’Cause that won’t end in disaster. The first candidate? The son of their longtime friends, Mat Songsomboon—arrogant, infuriating, and way too good-looking. Winnie’s known him since they were toddlers throwing sticky rice balls at each other. And her parents love him. If only he weren’t her sworn enemy.

I finished this book over a week ago and I'm still so dang excited about it. This book was so good! You are going to smile read through it, you're going to read through your hands cringing during embarrassing moments and you are going to be so glad you watched all of those romcoms throughout the years because those warm and fuzzies have prepared you to fall in love with the Tech family!If you loved the Song Sisters from To All The Boys I've Loved Before, then you are going to adore the Tech sisters. The Thai culture weaved throughout this book is refreshing to read. The traditions and food are delightful in every way. But that's nothing compared to the actual family! I mean, I could just grab this family- they were so real for me! I was in this book the whole time and didn't even want to pick it up the last night to read it because I didn't want my journey with Winnie to be over.If you don't believe me that I loved this book- let me tell you this, I wrote in the margins of this book the whole time! I know, this is nuts! I never do that unless it's a five star read!I don't want to give too much away from this but it does include so many amazing references to cute romcom moments in your favorite movies. And it does make you smile. It does make you want to hang out with your family. And it does make you want to eat. Can you ask for anything more?! I don't think so either!Good news, this book is out 8/18/20! Preorder your copy now!Eat: Authentic Thai food!Watch: To All The Boys I've Loved BeforeListen to: Catching Feelings by Justin Beiber
