Beschreibung
For fans of Jenny Han, Jane Austen, and The Great British Baking Show, A Taste for Love is a delicious rom-com about first love, familial expectations, and making the perfect bao.

To her friends, high school senior Liza Yang is nearly perfect. Smart, kind, and pretty, she dreams big and never shies away from a challenge. But to her mom, Liza is anything but. Compared to her older sister Jeannie, Liza is stubborn, rebellious, and worst of all, determined to push back against all of Mrs. Yang's traditional values, especially when it comes to dating.

The one thing mother and daughter do agree on is their love of baking. Mrs. Yang is the owner of Houston's popular Yin & Yang Bakery. With college just around the corner, Liza agrees to help out at the bakery's annual junior competition to prove to her mom that she's more than her rebellious tendencies once and for all. But when Liza arrives on the first day of the bake-off, she realizes there's a catch: all of the contestants are young Asian American men her mother has handpicked for Liza to date.

The bachelorette situation Liza has found herself in is made even worse when she happens to be grudgingly attracted to one of the contestants:the stoic, impenetrable, annoyingly hot James Wong. As she battles against her feelings for James, and for her mother's approval, Liza begins to realize there's no tried and true recipe for love.

Zusammenfassung
#OWN VOICES ROM-COM: With an all-Asian cast and a spotlight on a tight-knight Asian American family and community, A Taste for Love isn't just a sweet and swoony novel; it's an important and necessary one. Like the fictional Liza Yang, debut author Jen Yen is Taiwanese American and grew up in Houston, Texas. Jen has created a family that feels totally real. As Liza tries to connect to her mother, the difficulties of being a first-generation teenager are deftly explored, calling to mind Frank Li's culture clashes with his family in Frankly in Love.

STAR AUTHOR IN THE MAKING: By day debut author Jen Yen is a child and adolescent psychiatrist. By night, early mornings, and weekends, Jen is a passionate, well-connected author. When she tweeted the announcement for A Taste for Love, the response was incredible, racking up 1.8K likes in the span of just a few hours! Jen is going to be such an asset. We have another book signed up with her in Spring 2022 and we're so thrilled to have her as a Razorbill author.

SLOW BURN ROMANCE: With his swoopy hair and elusive dimple, James Wong is total book boyfriend material. But, like the famous couple they're based on, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet, Liza and James don't exactly start off on the right foot. Once the competition begins, though, the ice between them totally begins to melt…Cue the heart-eyes emojis!

THAT PITCH, THOUGH!: The Great Britishing Baking Show + Pride and Prejudice + To All the Boys I've Loved Before = A Taste for Love. Need I say more? This book hits so many of pop culture's sweet spots right now and, like your favorite dessert, it's the perfect antidote to day-to-day stress and the constant news cycle.

OMG YUM: Come for the romance, stay for the food! This novel is chock-full of mouthwatering descriptions of boba, bao, jelly cakes, matcha cookies, and more. Have snacks at the ready because your stomach will be growling the whole way through!
