Book Synopsis



Bestselling author Lyla Lee delivers a deliciously fun YA K-drama remix of Pride and Prejudice--if Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett were a college-run reality TV dating show.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that when there is a hot person, there is also someone with a crush on them.

Mia Yoon has a plan for everything. Get a full ride to her dream film school in Los Angeles, behind her mom's back, and escape her middle-of-nowhere hometown--check. Produce her own dating show starring other people and their crushes--check. But everything goes off the rails when she has to enlist the help of her own secret crush, Noah Cho, a boy she'd rather hate.

Despite being a campus celebrity voted "most eligible student bachelor," Noah can't remember the last time he was in a relationship. And he's perfectly content with that, thank you very much, especially since just the word feelings makes him uncomfortable. But he can't stop staring at Mia, who keeps glaring at him in class. And when she asks him to be on her dating show--as one of the contestants--he can't say no.

As Noah goes on more and more romantic dates on The Cuffing Game and Mia watches from behind the camera, something feels off. With the showrunner and contestant slowly falling for one another, can the show still go on?



Review Quotes




"The story challenges Korea's heteronormative culture and media . . . also transports readers to popular destinations in and around Seoul, beautifully highlighting Korean food and culture. A fun and boundary-pushing take on typical K-drama romances." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Hana and Minjee's sweet romance, behind-the-scenes peeks into K-drama productions, and richly detailed Korean culture buoy this joyous romance." -- Publishers Weekly

"This book is a love letter to Korean culture, K-dramas in particular. This trope-filled rom-com is perfect for fans of Somewhere Only We Know by Maurene Goo, XOXO by Axie Oh, and I Guess I Live Here Now by Claire Ahn." -- School Library Journal Online
