Publisher's Synopsis
Sharp, funny, contemporary young adult romance. perfect for readers who love Jenny Han's To All The Boys I've Loved Before and Sandhya Menon's When Dimple met RishiSeventeen-year old Ji-Su Kim is on a seon date with Dae-Hyun Kang, a young man from a good family that was set-up by a fancy matchmaker.Unlike Ji who is in San Francisco as an exchange student from Seoul, Dae is Korean-American. But their families are similar, both are from wealthy, aspirational Korean families who want nothing more than ambitious Harvard-bound doctors and lawyers.Ji is tired of these dates, she has no interest in any of them, and is rude and a bit cold to Dae, who is unexpectedly charming and just as bored with these dates (turns out he has a blonde American girlfriend).But even as Ji realizes she's attracted to Dae, it'll never work out (girlfriend aside). Because everyone knows that 29 is the unluckiest number - anything ending with a '9' is considered unlucky in Korea -it's bad luck, even worse than bad luck. She tells Dae that he's cursed, and he laughs.
