"A delightful, hilarious, captivating love letter to Indonesia, and coming of age in a large meddlesome family, and the thrill of finding your person where you least expect it!"--Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis A laugh-out-loud YA rom-com about a girl who's whisked from LA to her mother's native Indonesia to get back to her roots and finds herself fake-dating the son of one of the wealthiest families there, from the bestselling author of Dial A for Aunties and The Obsession After Sharlot Citra's mother catches her in a compromising position, she finds herself whisked away from LA to her mothers native Indonesia. It'll be exactly what they both need. Or so her mother thinks. When George Clooney Tanuwijaya's father (who is obsessed with American celebrities) fears he no longer understands how to get through to his son, he decides to take matters into his own hands. To ensure that their children find the right kind of romantic partner, Sharlot's mother and George's father do what any "good" parent would do: they strike up a conversation online, pretending to be their children. When the kids find out about their parents actions, theyre horrified. Not even a trip to one of the most romantic places on earth could possibly make Sharlot and George fall for each other. But as the layers peel back and the person they thought they knew from online is revealed, the truth becomes more complicated. As unlikely as it may seem, did their parents manage to find their true match after all?

It just didn't hit the right notes for me. It took me a little bit to get into the story, but there were a few fun moments in the middle. I really loved some of the family antics, but the main characters I didn't really care for. There didn't seem like much there. The romance part of it also fell a little flat for me.

This book was so cute! I really enjoyed the fake dating trope. I definitely need to read the other books by this author. They have been on my TBR for awhile and I need to get to them! Also this is probably one of my favorite boxes from OUABC so far! I loved all of the gifts that came with this book!

OMG, this was amazing! This was hilarious and touching, so much fun to read, and I loved everything about it. I had to finish this in one sitting because I could not find a stopping point.
