Event Details
Blush Book Club is an extension of our Books with Spice program geared toward high school students. We will read young adult romance books and discuss them in the library. This program is for high school students only, grades 9-12, and is held at 4pm in the Large Study Room.
This month we are reading and discussing Loveboat, Taipei by Abigail Hing Wen. Physical copies are available for checkout.
Synopsis from Goodreads:
When eighteen-year-old Ever Wong’s parents send her from Ohio to Taiwan to study Mandarin for the summer, she finds herself thrust among the very over-achieving kids her parents have always wanted her to be, including Rick Woo, the Yale-bound prodigy profiled in the Chinese newspapers since they were nine—and her parents’ yardstick for her never-measuring-up life.
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?
