Bite Me, Royce Taslim — Lauren Ho
Acclaimed author of Last Tang Standing and Lucie Yi is Not a Romantic in her YA debut: a sharp yet sweet rivals-to-romance romp through Kuala Lumpur -- perfect for fans of Emiko Jean, Abigail Hing Wen, and Kat Cho.
Agnes Chan never expected to be the punchline of her own life . . .
But how else do you explain getting accidentally run over and seeing a lifetime of careful preparation, endless training, and all your hopes of a track scholarship to college destroyed in a split second? Not to mention the only witness to your humiliation being your #1 archnemesis, Royce Taslim.
So, when Agnes finds a new answer to her scholarship predicament in the form of an international stand-up comedy contest for teens, the last person she expects to be up against is also the last person she wants to see: Royce. Because for years Royce has represented everything Agnes loathes: extreme privilege, popularity, and physical perfection (ok maybe she doesn't hate that part so much).
Behind the scenes, though, Royce's flawless façade fades away, revealing someone Agnes never expected -- someone who shows her that perhaps the best parts of life are the ones you aren't prepared for -- and as the competition heats up, so do things between these two rivals. But will the pressure to win be too much for them to handle -- or will Agnes (and Royce) get the last laugh?
