Frankly in Love by David Yoon

If you like books that are 90% virtue signaling and 10% plot this is the book for you.
Seriously, it was so bad. I felt like I was reading a long winded facebook rant by one of my super soap-boxy friends. It was so whiny.
Frank: "No one understands! Having racist parent's is so hard! Even if they are trying to be inclusive and open-minded they are still just so dense and so embarrassing! Ugh! Why do people expect me to know stuff about Korean food? I mean, yeah I'm Korean-American and I actually know more than the average person, but RUDE! How dare they assume! I mean, I could have said I don't know much about Korean food, but then I wouldn't get to whine! And whining is my favorite! Did I mention my parents are so totally racist? And white people are so ignorant! and if you try to talk slow for someone who has a strong accent you're racist! and if you ask too many questions you're ignorant! and if you don't ask enough questions you're a racist! And did I mention racism?"
This could have been good. I don't know anyone from my generation that has parents who are completely without their biases. But it was too much preaching and not enough everything else and half why through I just realized I didn't care enough about the characters to endure anymore.
