內容簡介

內容簡介 瘋狂亞洲富豪遇上珍·奧斯汀 Ever，一位非常熱愛跳舞亞裔美籍女孩。像一般的亞洲父母一樣，Ever的父母望女成鳳，希望她成為一名醫師，無視於她的舞蹈夢想。為了讓Ever學中文，父母更大老遠地送她到台北學中文。在美國，社區只有她是亞洲人，然而這裡卻有許多和她一樣東方臉孔的美國人，Ever頓時覺得比原先預想的還要有趣且自在多了。學員們白天努力學中文，晚上，則探訪精彩的夜生活，Ever初嘗沒人管的自由滋味，這想必是父母預料不到的。更料想不到的是，Ever遇見了有著祕密的完美男孩Rick、時尚控Sophie、性感的Xavier …等，讓Ever永遠忘不了這個夏天，在台北劍潭--被學員稱為「愛之船」的台北的夏天。 本書作者為亞裔美國人，書中描繪浪漫愛情之外，更描寫亞洲父母望子成龍的文化下，追求自我夢想的掙扎，要乖乖聽話還是為夢想叛逆一次呢？ 作者Abigail Hing Wen，亞裔美籍，超級學霸，擁有哈佛大學學士、佛蒙特州美術學院藝術創作碩士和哥倫比亞大學法律博士。平常不是在寫作，就是忙於矽谷有關創投和人工智慧的律師工作。 A New York Times bestseller! Optioned for film by the producers of Jenny Han’s TO ALL THE BOYS I’VE LOVED BEFORE. Most anticipated novel of 2020: Boston Globe, Book Riot, Bustle, Nerd Daily, Seventeen, She Reads. Praised as “an intense rush of rebellion and romance” by #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Garber, this romantic and layered Own Voices debut from Abigail Hing Wen is “a roller-coaster ride of romance and self-discovery.” (Kirkus) “Our cousins have done this program,” Sophie whispers. “Best kept secret. Zero supervision.” And just like that, Ever Wong’s summer takes an unexpected turn. Gone is Chien Tan, the strict educational program in Taiwan that Ever was expecting. In its place, she finds Loveboat: a summer-long free-for-all where hookups abound, adults turn a blind eye, snake-blood sake flows abundantly, and the nightlife runs nonstop. But not every student is quite what they seem: Ever is working toward becoming a doctor but nurses a secret passion for dance. Rick Woo is the Yale-bound child prodigy bane of Ever’s existence whose perfection hides a secret. Boy-crazy, fashion-obsessed Sophie Ha turns out to have more to her than meets the eye. And under sexy Xavier Yeh’s shell is buried a shameful truth he’ll never admit. When these students’ lives collide, it’s guaranteed to be a summer Ever will never forget. “A unique story from an exciting and authentic new voice.” —Sabaa Tahir, #1 New York Times bestselling author of An Ember in the Ashes “Equal parts surprising, original, and intelligent. An intense rush of rebellion and romance.” —Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Caraval “Fresh as a first kiss.” —Stacey Lee, award-winning author of Outrun the Moon "Fresh, fun, heartfelt, and totally addictive, a story about finding your place—and your people—where you least expected." —Kelly Loy Gilbert, author of the William C. Morris Award finalist Conviction
