Title: Loveboat, Taipei
Author: Abigail Hing Wen
Format: Audiobook
Unbeknownst to her parents, however, the program is actually an infamous teen meet-market nicknamed Loveboat, where the kids are more into clubbing than calligraphy and drinking snake-blood sake than touring sacred shrines.
Free for the first time, Ever sets out to break all her parents’ uber-strict rules—but how far can she go before she breaks her own heart?
I got this book the day it came out, but ended up listening to it on Scribd. This is a deubt and is beautifully written. The characters were great. I felt myself getting upset right along with Ever at her parents. But overall, the best part was learning a culture that wasn't my own. This book even taught some mandarin, which was great. I did go back and look it up in the book so I could see how it looked written down.I also love that the romance of it was slow burning. It didn't just throw her into "love" from the get go. And the embarrassing situations she got herself into were fabulous!
The only thing I didn't care for about this book was the best friend, Sophie. And it isn't really anything the author did wrong. I know girls like Sophie and they just annoy me. It is great that the author was able to write her like that, but it annoys me that Ever cared about keeping her as a friend.
