      A man wakes up in an unknown landscape, injured and alone. He used to live in a place called California, but how did he wind up here with a head wound and a bottle of pills in his pocket? He navigates his surroundings, one rough shape at a time. Here lies a pipe, there a reed that could be carved into a weapon, beyond a city he once lived in. He could swear his daughter’s name began with a J, but what was it, exactly? Then he encounters an old man, a crow, and a boy—and realizes that nothing is what he thought it was, neither the present nor the past. He can’t even recall the features of his own face, and wonders: who am I? Harrowing and haunting but also humorous in the face of the unfathomable, David Yoon’s City of Orange is a novel about reassembling the things that make us who we are, and finding the way home again.

      From the bestselling author of Frankly in Love comes a contemporary YA rom-com where a case of mistaken identity sparks a series of (fake) events that may lead to (real) love. Sunny Dae, a self-proclaimed nerd, is captivated by the cool and confident Cirrus Soh. When Cirrus mistakenly thinks Sunny's older brother Gray's rock-themed bedroom belongs to him, Sunny inadvertently claims to be the front man of a band. This leads him to involve his friends in a scheme to create a fake band and adopt Gray's rock-and-roll style. Just as Sunny plans to confess the truth, Cirrus invites him to perform, prompting him to fully commit to the lie. As he immerses himself in this façade, Sunny experiences newfound popularity, attending football games and parties. He begins to feel more confident, especially around Cirrus, who evolves from a crush to someone truly special. However, as Sunny's deception unravels, he must confront the consequences of his lies and question whether the transformation was worth it. This inventive romantic comedy explores themes of identity, perception, and the challenges of being oneself.

      Frank Li is a high school senior living in Southern California. Frank's parents emigrated from Korea, and have pretty much one big rule for Frank - he must only date Korean girls. But he's got strong feelings for a girl in his class, Brit - and she's not Korean. His friend Joy Song is in the same boat and knows her parents will never accept her boyfriend, so they make a pact- they'll pretend to date each other in order to gain their freedom. Frank thinks fake-dating is the perfect plan, but it leaves him wondering if he ever really understood love - or himself - at all. David Yoon's debut novel is a quirky, authentic, heartbreaking romantic comedy and a refreshingly different take on race, immigrant communities, friendship and family.
