ONE OF NPR'S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR!
"Bursts with humor, heart, and great energy. I loved it! Park is a
hilarious new voice in women's fiction."--Helen Hoang, author of The
Kiss Quotient
"[A] punchy adult debut set in the world of video game design. Park
makes tough topics go down easy by couching them in wry humor and
lighthearted romance, and her fierce, snarky heroine is irresistible.
This smart rom-com is a winner."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
In a debut perfect for fans of Jasmine Guillory and Sally Thorne, a
junior video game producer finds herself getting closer and closer to
the one person she hates most after a mass troll attack online almost
ruins her life.
Melody Joo is thrilled to land her dream job as a video game producer,
but her new position comes with challenges: an insufferable CEO; sexist
male coworkers; and an infuriating--yet distractingly handsome--intern,
Nolan MacKenzie, aka "the guy who got hired because his uncle is the
boss."
Just when Melody thinks she's made the worst career move of her life,
her luck changes. While joking with a friend, she creates a mobile game
that has male strippers fighting for survival in a post-apocalyptic
world. Suddenly Melody's "joke" is her studio's most high-profile
project--and Melody's running the show.
When Nolan is assigned to Melody's team, she's sure he'll be useless.
But as they grow closer, she realizes he's smart and attractive, which
makes Melody want to forget he's her intern. As their attraction
deepens, she knows it's time to pump the brakes, even with her Korean
parents breathing down her neck to hurry up and find a man.
With her project about to launch, Melody suddenly faces a slew of
complications, including a devastating trolling scandal. Could the man
she's falling hard for help her play the game to win--in work and in
love?
