11th grader Chloe Kwon is trying to take pictures of reluctant preschoolers at the mall, perfect her application for a prestigious art award that could determine her future, and now she has to add save her parents' food court Korean restaurant from closing as the mall is about to be sold to a developer who want to tear it down. Worst of all - she can't accomplish anything without the help of Peter Li, her mortal enemy - or at least that is what her parents tell her - don't ever trust the Lis. But Chloe has always been kind of drawn to Peter, even if his parents' Chinese restaurant is their direct competition. Needs must - and as the two work hard to save their parents, they may also be falling for each other.
Yes, a romance, but Park does an excellent job of weaving that into all of the other drama, not making the romance the only focus or the reason for the interaction. If you have room for more romance, I really liked this one. The main characters are Korean and Chinese.
