The Boy You Always Wanted by Michelle Quach (author)

“Totally in love with this novel.” Loan Le, author of A Pho Love Story

A girl, a boy, a grandfather and a plan. The girl: Francine. Model teenager, dutiful granddaughter, absolutely no chill.

The grandfather: Francine’s beloved a gung. He has one final wish, a male heir to carry on the family traditions. It’s an outdated idea, but Francine loves him, and she has a plan to bring him the boy he always wanted.

The boy: Ollie. Family friend, former crush, no idea how Francine has convinced him to get mixed up in her off-the-wall, and totally sexist, honorary grandson plan.

The plan: might work. But as Ollie and Francine’s worlds collide, their secrets get tangled, and so do their feelings. Sometimes what you really want, isn’t at all what you expected.
