The Do-Over
by Suzanne Park
Lily Lee is getting ready to publish a new book: How to Land the Perfect Job. But when her employer background check reveals that she never actually finished college, she’s forced to go back and complete her degree.
The Do-Over is a really fun and relatable book - how many people have advisors in college who aren't actually that helpful or got some of the degree requirements wrong? So many. Unfortunately for Lily, it means she’s back at her alma mater ten years after she thought she graduated — and her old college boyfriend, Jake Cho, is also there as a TA for one of her classes, and also for a really lovely second chance romance storyline. While The Do-Over discusses mental health and expectations within the Asian community, it’s also relatable to anyone who’s ever felt pressure from their parents or might have perfectionist tendencies. I also loved the balance of humor with the serious storylines - can you even imagine going to a frat party after you turn 30?! I think it would definitely hit a little different, lol.
