About this ebook

“A heartwarming, sparkling romantic comedy about what happens when what your heart wants and what your parents want don’t match...Melissa de la Cruz enchants and delights in her usual style. Completely unputdownable!” —Sandhya Menon, New York Times bestselling author of When Dimple Met Rishi

“A refreshingly modern love story, 29 Dates serves up a funny and heartfelt rom-com about finding love and figuring out life on your own terms.” —Maurene Goo, author of I Believe in a Thing Called Love and The Way You Make Me Feel


How many dates will it take to find The One?

Jisu’s traditional South Korean parents are concerned by what they see as her lack of attention to her schoolwork and her future. Working with Seoul’s premiere matchmaker to find the right boyfriend is one step toward ensuring Jisu’s success, and going on the recommended dates is Jisu’s compromise to please her parents while finding space to figure out her own dreams. But when she flubs a test then skips out on a date to spend time with friends, her fed-up parents shock her by shipping her off to a private school in San Francisco. Where she’ll have the opportunity to shine academically—and be set up on more dates!

Navigating her host family, her new city and school, and more dates, Jisu finds comfort in taking the photographs that populate her ever-growing social media account. Soon attention from two very different boys sends Jisu into a tailspin of soul-searching. As her passion for photography lights her on fire, does she even want to find The One? And what if her One isn’t parent and matchmaker approved?

29 chances to drive yourself crazy! 29 ways to learn your dislikes! 29 dates but what about...love? 29 Dates is a cute story. I will admit to wishing for a little glossary though. Never having indulged in Korean culture, I felt a little left behind -at first. Eventually, you pick up the lingo and start craving the restaurant experience. (Maybe don't read while hungry?!😆) I think the most fun though was reading the play by play of these seons. Some are perfectly terrible! Like award winning terrible! Laugh, want to cry, and cross your fingers through the awful experience with Jisu because in the end you will be smiling just as hard!
