"Hilarious." —Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Powerful messages of inclusion and acceptance.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Desi Lee believes anything is possible if you have a plan. That's how she became student body president. Varsity soccer star. And it's how she'll get into Stanford. But she's never had a boyfriend. In fact, she's a disaster at romance, a clumsy, stammering humiliation magnet whose botched attempts at flirting have become legendary with her friends. So when the hottest human specimen to have ever lived walks into her life one day, Desi finds guidance in the Korean dramas her father has been obsessively watching for years—where the hapless heroine always seems to end up in the arms of her true love by episode ten. It's a simple formula, and Desi is a quick study. Armed with her "K Drama Steps to True Love," Desi goes after the moody, elusive artist Luca Drakos—and boat rescues, love triangles, and staged car crashes ensue. But when the fun and games turn to true feels, Desi finds out that real love is about way more than just drama.

Kdrama lovers

I loved all the kdramas reference but even if you haven't watched any Korean dramas you'll enjoy this book ,the perseverance with the main character a lot to learn from her!!!

I'm crying because it feels like watching the end of a good kdrama😭

I finished it in two days and I'm shook. I thought it was gonna super cringey since it was about kdramas for the most part and I was right. I cringed every moment because it was like kdrama meets teen novel (I love it). I skimmed the part where he finds the list, because I knew it was gonna happen the moment that list was made, it reminded me of the drama Love Rain where the beginning main lead gets caught with the diary of the girl's and was using it as his resource to swoon her. Honestly it was super good, I loved the references to certain parts and I love this girl's determination. I hope more books like this come to existence👌🏼
