Not because they're not interested. Not even because no one can pronounce their long, Thai last name--hence the shortened, awkward moniker. But simply because they're not allowed. <p/>Until now. <p/>In a move that other Asian American girls know all too well, six months after the older Tech twins got to college, their parents asked, "Why aren't you engaged yet?" The sisters retaliated by vowing that they won't marry for ten (maybe even twenty!) years, not until they've had lots of the dating practice that they didn't get in high school. <p/>In a shocking war on the status quo, her parents now insist that their youngest daughter, Orrawin (aka "Winnie"), must practice fake dating in high school. Under their watchful eyes, of course--and organized based on their favorite rom-coms. 'Cause <i>that</i> won't end in disaster. <p/>The first candidate? The son of their longtime friends, Mat Songsomboon--arrogant, infuriating, and way too good-looking. Winnie's known him since they were toddlers throwing sticky rice balls at each other. And her parents love him. <p/>If only he weren't <i>her</i> sworn enemy.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>A first-generation Thai American, Pintip Dunn grew up in a tiny town in Kansas. She went on to graduate from Harvard University, magna cum laude, with an A.B. and to receive her J.D. at Yale Law School. <p/>Pintip is a two-time RITA(R) award winner and a New York Times bestselling author of young adult fiction. Her books have been translated into four languages, and they have been nominated for numerous awards, including the Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Award and a Kirkus Best Book of the Year. <p/>She's obsessed with penguins, and her childhood dream was to marry someone whose last name was "Gwynn"--so that her name could be "Pin Gwynn." Alas, she got stuck with Dunn instead, but her husband and three children are worth the sacrifice. They all visit Thailand yearly in order to stay connected with her family.</p>
