Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for providing a copy of this book for me.

David Tung Can't Have a Girlfriend Unless He Gets Into an Ivy League College was not what I expected at all. In the best possible way.

I loved getting to know David Tung. He immediately felt like such a special character to me. He is driven and a little socially awkward (except in Chinese School when he's a right rebel). He is obedient and genuinely cares for his family. He has high hopes and high dreams and American Asian or not he is highly relatable.

I loved this insight into David as an American Asian character but since I am neither American or Asian, I will leave the analysis of this particular aspect to more capable reviewers.

I also loved his relationship with his friends at Chinese School, the way he is determined to see the best in people even though he doesn't have the best time at his high school. He is considerate and nice and he is falling in love for the very first time. And I feel very privileged to got to go on that wild ride with him.

I will heartily recommend David Tung's story to everyone who wants to read a comfortable and nice slice of life/coming of age story with a lot of heart and a lot of love.
