In Stop Me If You Have Heard This One Before, Yoo humorously captures that special mania that only your high-school crushes can induce. Yoo's debut Good Enough chronicles the journey of Patti, an over achieving Ivy-bound teen itching to rebel. After the reading, this young adult duo will discuss creativity among siblings and confess who hogged the bathroom the longest.It's happening Thursday, October 9 at the Workshop in New York. I'm not quite done with Stop Me yet, but I'm loving it so far. And I haven't written much about Good Enough, which I read earlier this year, but it's also a great, fun read. So much talent in one family!

Both books are actually geared by their publishers towards teens, so maybe that says something about me. I guess I just wish there were books like this when I was growing up. Anyway, for more information about the event, visit the Asian American Writers' Workshop website here.
