A New York Public Library Best Book of the Year
“An endearing story from a fresh voice of family, first love, and taking chances.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Coyiuto’s lovely debut is quite funny and filled with fantastic family banter. As readers follow Chloe through different dates, they will root for her as she struggles with matters of the heart, including romance, family, and how hard it can be to make a life changing choice.” —Booklist
“Friendship, matchmaking, family expectations, and a Filipino debut come together in this sweet novel about finding who you are . . . Between love triangles and enemies-to-lovers, this novel explores a few romantic tropes, but the highlight is a relatable heroine who is leaving her childhood behind and focusing on the adult she wants to become.” —School Library Journal
