Anna and Quan have to fight for their chance at love, but to do that, they also have to fight for themselves. Their first attempt at a one-night stand fails, as does their second, and their third, because being with Quan is more than sex-he accepts Anna on an unconditional level that she has just started to understand herself. However, when tragedy strikes Anna’s family she takes on a role that she is ill-suited for, until the burden of expectations threatens to destroy her. That’s where tattooed, motorcycle-riding Quan Diep comes in. The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang is a must-read about a young woman named Anna Sun, a violinist who becomes an overnight success with a viral YouTube video. The more unacceptable the men, the better. Translation: She’s going to embark on a string of one-night stands. And when her longtime boyfriend announces he wants an open relationship before making a final commitment, a hurt and angry Anna decides that if he wants an open relationship, then she does, too. I love this couple and the way they steer through their very own love story, no matter what life throws at them… I didn’t want it to end.When violinist Anna Sun accidentally achieves career success with a viral YouTube video, she finds herself incapacitated and burned out from her attempts to replicate that moment. An amazing story of two very different but very normal and real families and how love can conquer all differences. This book was amazing – and it gave in to all my girly childhood dreams of falling for the boy next door (all thanks to the silly American sitcoms!).

Which perfect family will save her? Or is it time she saved herself? She’s suddenly faced with an impossible decision. Then something unthinkable happens, and the bottom drops out of Samantha’s world. And every day from her rooftop perch, Samantha Reed wishes she was one of them… until one summer evening, Jase Garrett climbs up next to her, and changes everything.Īs the two fall fiercely for each other, stumbling through the awkwardness and awesomeness of first love, Jase’s family embraces Samantha – even as she keeps him a secret from her own. The Garretts are everything the Reeds are not.

“One thing my mother never knew, and would disapprove of most of all, was that I watched the Garretts. The Garretts – big, loud but all loving family.
