From the author of the "genuinely funny" and "delightful" Loathe at
First Sight (NPR) and "cinematic, charming" So We Meet Again (Emily
Henry), a fun rom-com about a young Korean-American woman having to
return to college after discovering she's a few credits shy of
completing her degree-only to find one of her TAs is her old
college boyfriend. Lily Lee is a bestselling author of the How to
Be a Supernova At Work series, and her editor wants her to strike
while the iron's hot with a new book, How to Land the Perfect Job.
But when Lily is offered a coveted position at a top firm, the
employer background check reveals she's short a few college credits
and never actually completed her degree. Unbelievably, her worst
nightmare has come true. Lily returns to her alma mater, reliving
her senior year of college ten years later. She enrolls in classes,
gets invited to frat parties, eats most of her meals with "dining
dollars," and to make things even more weird and chaotic, she
discovers that her computer science TA is her old college
boyfriend, Jake Cho. As Lily and Jake reconnect, she sees that her
ex has done well for himself: the handsome, charming grad student
appears to have his life together while Lily's so close to losing
her dream job opportunity and her book deal. Things aren't so
simple the second time around. The Do-Over is a delightfully warm
and hopeful story about second chances in love and life, and how
the future we want may turn out far different than we imagined.
ONE OF NPR'S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR! "Bursts with humor, heart, and
great energy. I loved it! Park is a hilarious new voice in women's
fiction."-Helen Hoang, author of The Kiss Quotient "[A] punchy
adult debut set in the world of video game design. Park makes tough
topics go down easy by couching them in wry humor and lighthearted
romance, and her fierce, snarky heroine is irresistible. This smart
rom-com is a winner."-Publishers Weekly (starred review) In a debut
perfect for fans of Jasmine Guillory and Sally Thorne, a junior
video game producer finds herself getting closer and closer to the
one person she hates most after a mass troll attack online almost
ruins her life. Melody Joo is thrilled to land her dream job as a
video game producer, but her new position comes with challenges: an
insufferable CEO; sexist male coworkers; and an infuriating-yet
distractingly handsome-intern, Nolan MacKenzie, aka "the guy who
got hired because his uncle is the boss." Just when Melody thinks
she's made the worst career move of her life, her luck changes.
While joking with a friend, she creates a mobile game that has male
strippers fighting for survival in a post-apocalyptic world.
Suddenly Melody's "joke" is her studio's most high-profile
project-and Melody's running the show. When Nolan is assigned to
Melody's team, she's sure he'll be useless. But as they grow
closer, she realizes he's smart and attractive, which makes Melody
want to forget he's her intern. As their attraction deepens, she
knows it's time to pump the brakes, even with her Korean parents
breathing down her neck to hurry up and find a man. With her
project about to launch, Melody suddenly faces a slew of
complications, including a devastating trolling scandal. Could the
man she's falling hard for help her play the game to win-in work
and in love?
As seen on The Today Show! One of the best fall reads! "A
cinematic, charming heart-squeeze-of-a-book that has found its way
to my Ultimate Comfort Reads shelf." -Emily Henry, #1 New York
Times bestselling author From the author of the "genuinely funny"
and "delightful" Loathe at First Sight (NPR), a young Korean
American woman's journey to finding a new career and new love means
learning to embrace the awkward and unexpected-exploring familial
expectations, finding your voice, and unimaginably falling for your
childhood rival. When investment banker Jessie Kim is laid off in a
virtual meeting and then overhears why ("she's already being
overpaid anyway for a woman" and "Asians are worker bees, not
someone who can drum up new deals") she delivers an "eff you guys"
speech and storms out. After moving back home to Tennessee to live
with her loving but meddling mother and father, she runs into her
childhood nemesis-golden child Daniel Choi-at the local Asian
grocery store. The smart, charming lawyer appears to have it
all...while Jessie has nothing. Jess begrudgingly accepts Daniel's
help to relaunch her long abandoned Korean cooking YouTube channel:
HANGUK HACKS, showcasing easy meal prep for busy professionals. But
just as she discovers Daniel's life isn't as perfect as it seems
and there's more to him than meets the eye, he shows up for a
life-changing business opportunity, and their rivalry is back on .
. . "A funny, lovely mother-daughter story. And then there's
Daniel-yummy Daniel-and great food. Settle in and enjoy!" -Susan
Elizabeth Phillips, New York Times bestselling author "So We Meet
Again is a hilarious read. What can go wrong when, after a
quarter-life crisis, you move back in with your hyper-competitive
parents? This comeback story will charm you from beginning to end."
