The New York Times bestselling Front Desk series continues! Jason Yao has one goal-to become a true, modern chef. He's not entirely sure what that means yet, but he knows it means being a better version of who he used to be (that is, someone who was in the principal's office three times a week and swiped cash from his dad's motels to buy video games). Jason has a much better grip on his temper now that Mia Tang is in his life. But it still hovers, right beneath the surface, threatening to come out-especially when he returns from Chinatown and tells his parents about his new relationship with Mia ... and his parents say he's not allowed to have a girlfriend. As Jason fights to pursue his own path and be the chef he knows he can be, he'll have to find the courage to stay calm, speak up, and share his heart. Luckily he has Mia, who is brave enough to face anything ... even Jason's parents!
