Fifteen-year-old, biracial figure skater Olivia Kennedy’s Olympic dreams have ended. She’s bitter, but enjoying life as a regular teenager instead of an athlete… 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?
Every Reason We Shouldn’t by Sara Fujimura is a charming multicultural romance perfect for the many fans of Jenny Han and Rainbow Rowell.

REVIEW
Being born to Asian parents is in itself a job of great responsibility. Being a South-east Asian myself, I know. This story too promises the drama. I liked that a sport, other than the same old, has been chosen as the premise of this story – Skating. Very interesting.
What saddened me is, there is not much Asian-ness which I had expected. It was too diluted. Both the protagonists are partly Asians so there should have been the essence of their Asian origin in the story. But it felt like a usual American story. The usual quirks were missing.
RATING: 3.5/5
