Every Reason We Shouldn't

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." --Courtney Milan
