NPR Best of the Year Every Reason We Shouldn't by Sara Fujimura is a charming multicultural romance perfect for the many fans of Jenny Han and Rainbow Rowell.

Warning: Contains family expectations, delightful banter, great romantic tension, skating (all kinds ), Korean pastries, and all the feels.

Sixteen-year-old figure skater Olivia Kennedy's Olympic dreams have ended.

She's bitter, but enjoying life as a regular teenager instead of trying to live up to expectations of being the daughter of Olympians Michael Kennedy and Midori Nakashima.

until Jonah Choi starts training at her family's struggling rink.

Jonah's driven, talented, going for the Olympics in speed skating, completely annoying.

and totally gorgeous.

Between teasing Jonah, helping her best friend try out for roller derby, figuring out life as a normal teen and keeping the family business running, Olivia's got her hands full.

But will rivalry bring her closer to Jonah, or drive them apart? This book is like a warm hug filled with all the things I love.

I started smiling from page one and couldn't put it down.
