Synopsis

Chloe Kwon can't stand Peter Li. It's always been that way. Their families don't get along either: their parents operate rival restaurants in the Riverwood Mall food court—Korean food for the Kwons and Chinese food for the Lis. Now it's the holiday season and Chloe's the photographer at the mall's Santa's Village, and Peter works at the virtual reality North Pole experience right across the atrium. It's all Chloe can do to avoid Peter's smug, incredibly photogenic face. But it turns out the mall is about to be sold to a developer and demolished for condos. Eviction notices are being handed out right before Christmas. Their parents don't know what to do, and soon Chloe and Peter realize that the two of them need to join efforts to try to save the mall. Just when it seems like they can put aside their differences and work closely (very closely) together, they discover that the Kwon–Li feud goes far deeper than either of them realize...

I love this book <3 When my publisher asked what I thought about writing a YA holiday-themed novel, I said HELL YES. There aren’t enough Asian American stories in the world, and I can think of only a handful of holiday-themed ones. And I have pretty small hands. THE CHRISTMAS CLASH is dual perspective......more
