  <default-description>Albert Kim embraces his role as a loser until he finds himself falling for the newly liberated (from a three year relationship with Ryan &quot;The House&quot; Stackhouse, lacrosse demi-god) Mia Stone. 

As if it's not bad enough that no one at schol kows Albert and Mia are dating, her friends HATE him. Then Ryan is diagnosed with cancer. 

How can one Korean-American, former intentional loser in his first relationship cope?!</default-description>

It's so funny and I love how it's on the guy's point of view because not many romance books are on the guy's point of view. It's funny because you can read what the guys thi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52556209">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is funny and cringe worthy at the same time. Awkward teen finds love, loses love and grows up just a little bit. So why the 4 stars, the characters are not cookie cutters and all have depth, you will laugh out loud, it is both sweet and realistic at the same time.

    <body><![CDATA[<strong>Rating</strong> A+<br/><br/><strong>Summary</strong> I've said before that I'm kind of a big fan of David Yoo's work and that, I believe, it's equally hard to write incredibly funny stuff as it is to write &quot;poignant&quot; or &quot;dramatic&quot; stories. And, travelling on that same road, Yoo one-up's himself with his...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46611227">more...</a>]]></body>

The obsessiveness of Albert's love for Mia got very tiresome and boring. As did the obsession with her ex-boyfriend, Ryan, and his bout with cancer.
