I'm Not Here to Make Friends

Terrace House meets Loveboat, Taipei in this fun, frothy, incisive YA debut, following two teens and their unforgettable summer on a reality show. When Sabine Zhang is picked for Hotel California , a teen reality show with an all-Asian cast, she jumps at the opportunity. As one of few Asians at her high school in the Midwest, she''s always felt as if she was playing a side character in someone else''s story. But on this show, she''ll finally have a chance to step into the spotlight. All Yoona Bae wants is to get away. The girls at church think she''s mean, her mom thinks she''s a troublemaker, and she''s tired of fighting against her unearned bad reputation. So when she''s invited to appear on Hotel California , Yoona sees it as an opportunity to chill out, make some friends, maybe even get a tan. But life on the show isn''t all sunshine and self-actualization. The producers want drama at all costs, even if it means pitting Sabine and Yoona against each other. With the season finale looming, can the girls figure out a peaceful way forward, before they lose control of their own narratives?
