Praise for Bite Me, Royce Taslim : "A fun and delightful love story that proves that laughter really is the best medicine!" --Kat Cho, New York Times best-selling author of Once Upon a K-Prom "I went in expecting a fluffy, fun read, and this was all sorts of fun but also kicked me in the heart with all the feels! I was swept along with Agnes's struggles and I would like to never leave Kuala Lumpur, please. The Southeast Asian romance we all deserve!" --Jesse Q. Sutanto, author of Dial A for Aunties "Lauren Ho knows how to hit your funny bone and your heart! With an arsenal of witty one-liners, Bite Me, Royce Taslim proves that when life gives you lemons, sometimes the best thing to do is just shove them aside and laugh!" --Jason June, New York Times best-selling author of Out of the Blue " Bite Me, Royce Taslim is in the elite class of romcoms that will actually have you laughing and sighing contentedly out loud. This is a very fun book to read." --Jeff Zentner, award-winning author of In the Wild Light "Hilariously heartfelt, Lauren Ho seamlessly infuses comedy and culture in her swoony YA debut. A smart, laugh-out-loud rom-com that will have you in stitches." --Grace K. Shim, author of The Noh Family and Not Your Average Jo "A delightful escape into the world of stand-up and never-ending jokes, Bite Me, Royce Taslim transported me to a place I didn't know I needed, and felt like a home I didn't want to leave.

Ho beautifully oscillates between grappling with mental health and the burdens we carry from our family, to the sunnier side of jokes as a balm of healing and laughter, and the strength that comes from having people in your corner." --Claire Ahn, author of I Guess I Live Here Now "Lauren Ho works her magic again! From the zany Murphy's Law meet-cute, to the what-will-she-reveal-next character exploration, I could not put this book down until I reached the last page.and then hugged it so hard to my heart. Impossible not to love!" --Susan Lee, author of Seoulmates and The Name Drop "Quick-paced and angsty with laughs to spare." -- Publishers Weekly "A solid addition to the list of rivals-to-lovers romances." -- Kirkus Reviews "A funny story that makes more of an emotional punch than expected." --Sarah Bean Thompson, Booklist.
