Albert Kim believes that he is living the normal life of an Asian. Study hard in school, stay out of trouble, be a good, smart and educated kid. Albert is doing all of this, but on top of that he has no life. Literally. Since starting Bern High-School after numerous moves in his life Albert has decided to become anti-social. And he is fine living his life like this and his parents don't notice a thing as long as his grades stay up. Then over the summer his parents force Albert to get a job. So Albert decides to work at a hotel under a man named Gino. Gino assigns Albert to work with Mia. Mia is a popular, smart girl at school who Albert would never imagine having to talk to let alone be locked up in a hotel room with her everyday moving and cleaning furniture. But soon Albert learns to get along with her and they find each other happy and in love when the summer comes to an end. But there's one problem. School is about to start and Albert is afraid that Mia will forget their amazing summer and he's wrong. Mia likes Albert and keeps him but Mia's long time ex-boyfriend Ryan Stackhouse- The House doesn't like it. He wants Albert out of the relationship so he can try and get back with Mia. This story is a twisted love story told through the eyes of one boy who went from years of anti-socialism to one school year of being the most talked about kid yet. This book is fabulous, entertaining and funny. I think that almost anyone in middle school or high-school, girl or boy would enjoy it and I would highly recommend it.
