Praise

“A whirlwind adventure through Taipei, which Chao depicts using vivid prose that details Taiwanese tourist life alongside a simmering second-chance romance.” —Publishers Weekly

“Chao artfully weaves in themes of Asian American identity, generational trauma, and compassion as each clue that Gemma uncovers leads to another compelling revelation. A thoroughly enjoyable romp that’s also rich in self-discovery and romance.” —Kirkus Reviews

“A beautiful story about discovering your roots and understanding the difficult choices adults make.” —Booklist

“[A] beautifully written adventure. . . . For those who are looking for a perfectly sweet romance story, this book is a must-read.” —SLJ

“Smart and utterly swoon-worthy, Ex Marks the Spot has Gloria Chao’s signature humor and so much heart. Whether you’re looking for the perfect rivals-to-lovers rom-com, a love letter to diaspora communities, or a thrilling, beautifully written adventure around Taiwan, it’s impossible not to fall in love with this book.”
—Ann Liang, New York Times bestselling author of I Hope This Doesn’t Find You

“Gloria Chao does it again with an adorable and endearing YA romcom! A sweet love story that highlights culture, family, acceptance, and allowing people to be their true selves. A beautiful (and delicious) exploration of Taiwan from an honest and thoughtful diaspora lens. Fun, humorous and delightful!”
—Kat Cho, New York Times bestselling author of Once Upon a K-Prom

“Irresistibly entertaining and deeply sincere, Ex Marks the Spot is a propulsive journey through culture, family, self-discovery, and the love we find hidden in the most exquisitely unexpected places. Gloria Chao continues to deliver the kind of funny, relatable stories we all deserve!”
—Julian Winters, award-winning author of Prince of the Palisades
