Abigail Hing Wen

Perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Sarah Dessen, this romantic and layered Own Voices debut from Abigail Hing Wen is a dazzling, fun-filled romp. "Our cousins have done this program," Sophie whispers. "Best kept secret. Zero supervision." And just like that, Ever Wong's summer takes an unexpected turn. Gone is Chien Tan, the strict educational program in Taiwan that Ever was expecting. In its place, she finds Loveboat: a summer-long free-for-all where hookups abound, adults turn a blind eye, and the nightlife runs nonstop. But not every student is quite what they seem: Ever is working toward becoming a doctor but nurses a secret passion for dance. Rick Woo is the Yale-bound child prodigy bane of Ever's existence whose perfection hides a secret. Boy-crazy, fashion-obsessed Sophie Ha turns out to have more to her than meets the eye. And under sexy Xavier Yeh's shell is buried a shameful truth he'll never admit. When these students' lives collide, it's guaranteed to be a summer Ever will never forget!

Taipei, Love Boat Quotes

Ever Wang está prestes a viver um verão inesquecível Em breve um filme da mesma produtora de Para todos os garotos que já amei Os estudos sempre vieram em primeiro lugar para os pais de Everett Wang. Para eles, que deixaram a China em busca de oportunidades nos Estados Unidos, uma boa educação é a única forma de conquistar a tão sonhada estabilidade e de ser visto com respeito. Por isso, os Wang acreditam que, agora que Ever está prestes a ingressar na faculdade, é o momento perfeito para enviá-la para um programa educacional de verão em Taiwan. Cedendo aos desejos dos pais, Ever se vê no meio de um grupo de jovens inteligentes e dedicados. No entanto, ao contrário do que os pais da garota imaginavam, o programa é, na verdade, um mercado de encontros para jovens apelidado de “Barco do Amor”. Lá, os queridinhos da América estão mais interessados em virar noites em boates e em acabar com garrafas de saquê do que em estudar mandarim e caligrafia tradicional. Longe das rígidas regras estabelecida pelos pais, Ever experimenta a liberdade pela primeira vez — e é simplesmente incrível. Mas o verão não é eterno, e logo ela terá que voltar para casa e para o futuro que os pais planejaram para ela. Resta saber se o gostinho da liberdade vai virar lembrança ou se o Barco do Amor vai injetá-la com a coragem necessária para seguir os próprios sonhos e se tornar o que sempre sonhou.
