Books & Boba is a book club dedicated to books written by Asian and Asian American authors. We cover a wide range of genres including contemporary, historical fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, YA, nonfiction, thrillers, graphic novels, and memoirs.
In this episode, we present our interview with author Maurene Goo of the new YA romantic comedy novel, “I Believe in a Thing Called Love,” about an overachieving girl who tries to employ romantic lessons learned from watching Korean Dramas in real life. We chat about the new book, Maurene’s writing process, and of course, Korean Dramas.
