A contemporary Judy Blume meets Jenny Han, Boys I Know is a uncooked and life like look into the lives of stripling women, inspecting the complicated overlap between teen sexuality and Asian American id. A pointy and unflinchingly sincere journey of self-discovery.
June Chu has all the time been the “just good enough” lady. Good sufficient to line the cabinets with third-place trophies and steal secret kisses from her AP Bio companion, Rhys. But not ok to satisfy her mom’s unrelenting expectations, or get Rhys to commit.
While June’s mom insists she observe in her (good) sister’s footsteps and get a (full-ride) violin scholarship, June doesn’t see the purpose in attempting too onerous if she’s destined to fall quick anyway. Instead, she focuses her efforts on making her relationship with Rhys “official.”
But after her methodically deliberate, tipsily executed scheme explodes on the extent of a nuclear catastrophe, she flings herself into a brand new relationship with a man who’s not allergic to the phrase girlfriend.
As the road between intercourse and love blurs, and strain to map out her total future threatens to burst, June should resolve on whose phrases she’s going to reside her life—even when it means fraying her relationship together with her mom past restore.
