Frankly in Love by David Yoon

Frankly in Love is a humorous, heartbreaking and honest account of what it means to find one's identity.
Frank Li is a Korean American teen, trapped in a world where he is expected to be just the right amount of Korean with a dash of American too… but finding the balance in between is not as easy as it seems and quite frankly exhausting!

The typical highschool experience is not so typical for Frank, while he's falling in love for the first time and finally dating the girl of his dreams, you'd think that everything would be great, but there's just one problem; his parents. Parents, who when it comes to girlfriends have got one major requirement on their list, and you guessed it: Korean. Although Frank’s girlfriend Brit, is smart and funny and sweet… she’s American and that just won't cut the list. 

Once again Frank must sacrifice what he wants to please his parents and must accept that he can never just be a regular american teen, but maybe just maybe he's found the perfect way out. When family friend Joy Song confides in Frank about her similar situation, they come up with a plan to pursue their love lives without their parents finding out. Finally it feels like Frank has got a hang of juggling this whole half Korean half American thing (or atleast faking it infront of his parents), but when he's suddenly faced with an unexpected twist he is forced to confront who he really is and what love truly means to him.
