Frankly in Love
₨ 720.00
Frank loves Joy. Joy loves Frank. At least, that’s what they tell their parents . . .
Frank Li is caught between his parents’ expectations and his own California life.
Frank’s parents emigrated from Korea, and have pretty much one big rule for Frank – he must only date Korean girls.
But Frank has fallen for Brit, who is smart, beautiful and white.
His friend Joy Song is in the same boat and so they make a pact: they’ll pretend to date each other in order to gain their freedom.
Frank thinks fake-dating is the perfect plan, but it leaves him wondering if he ever really understood love – or himself – at all.
‘A love story, a treatise on racism, a peek into adolescence, and a welcome to Korean-American culture, all at once.’ Jodi Picoult
High school senior Frank Li is a Limbo–his term for Korean-American kids who find themselves caught between their parents’ traditional expectations and their own Southern California upbringing. His parents have one rule when it comes to romance–“Date Korean”–which proves complicated when Frank falls for Brit Means, who is smart, beautiful–and white. Fellow Limbo Joy Song is in a similar predicament, and so they make a pact: they’ll pretend to date each other in order to gain their freedom. Frank thinks it’s the perfect plan, but in the end, Frank and Joy’s fake-dating maneuver leaves him wondering if he ever really understood love–or himself–at all.
