The Jasmine Project by Meredith Ireland
5.0

Who gave this book and its characters to be THIS ridiculously adorable and hilarious?

Final impressions:
• This debut novel is essentially girl receives the bare minimum from other men and realizes that she's been dating an asshole and deserves so much more - and quite frankly, I happily ate it all up.
• Peak wish fulfillment, tbh. I was 100% here for the kilig and swooning.
• A delightful YA contemporary story centering an Asian American adoptee and her massive, meddling family!!!
• Speaking of, the family group chats had me laughing at loud.
• The narrator's Filipino accent in the audiobook amused me far too much. (It was good, btw.)
• While I personally found Jasmine's insecurities a bit too frustrating to stomach sometimes, I eventually learned to better empathize with her.
SpoilerCan't believe that this book had me rooting for a guy named Eugene. God.

• Perfect for readers who are looking for a feel-good read with heaps of flirting and family shenanigans.

Highly recommended!
