PINCH ME. My #ownvoices Thai YA rom com DATING MAKES PERFECT just got a starred review from Kirkus! It is a longtime dream come true! I *may* have shed a few tears. I’m definitely still smiling.
Among other things, they had this to say:
“New York Times bestselling author Dunn, a first-generation Thai American, takes on the enemies-to-lovers romance trope with punchy dialogue and adorable twists while paying tribute to the culture’s prioritization of food and family: One of the novel’s best scenes plays out at the Songkran festival, a celebration of the Thai New Year. Both Winnie and Mat are intelligent, sympathetic characters with genuine chemistry in the throes of mutual eye-rolling–turned–puppy love, and Winnie’s family members are finely drawn and nuanced, with aspirations, conflicts, and dreams of their own.
A laugh-out-loud YA romance with a smart cast.“
