When Ever Wong's parents sent her away fro the summer, she's expecting Chien Tan: a strict, educational immersion program in Taiwan. Instead, she finds the infamous "Loveboat." There, Ever is surrounded by prodigies, like Rick Woo, Chinese American wonder boy and longtime bane of her existence; Ever's roommate, the confident and clever Sophia Ha, as glamorous as she is sharp; and the intimidatingly cool Xavier Yeh, heir to an international tech empire. But her classmates are more interested in the nonstop Taipei nightlife than anything to do with the curriculum. Hookups abound, snake-blood sake flows, and adult supervision is nonexistent. For the first time ever, Ever is discovering what freedom tastes like and it's exhilerating. But summer will end and Ever will be back to her parents and the future they've planned for her. Will she let this glimpse of freedom go - or will Loveboat give her the courage to pursue fhe future she dreams of, and the Ever Wong she wants to be?

DNF @ 90%
For the first time in like 3 years, I am DNFing a book. Tragically. Even though I only have less than 50 pages left until I'm done. I just don't have any interest in actually finishing this book.
Dnf 72% but I think I suffered through enough to consider it read. Xavier was the only character I was interested in hearing about, and I hated the way Ever treated him.
