The Tech sisters donât date in high school. Not because theyâre not asked. Not because
theyâre not interested. Not even because no one can pronounce their long, Thai last nameâ
hence the shortened, awkward moniker. But simply because theyâre 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, âWhy arenât you engaged yet?â The sisters retaliated by vowing that
they wonât marry for ten (maybe even twenty!) years, not until theyâve had lots of dating practice.
In a shocking war on the status quo, her parents now insist that their youngest daughter,
Orrawin (aka âWinnieâ), must date in high school. Under their watchful eyes, of courseâ
and on dates they organize based on their favorite rom-coms. The first candidate?
The son of their longtime friends, Mat Songsomboonâarrogant, dreamy, and infuriating.
Winnieâs known him since they were toddlers throwing sticky rice balls at each other.
Her parents love him, so naturally heâs the perfect person for her to pretend-date.
If only he werenât her sworn enemy.
