Rendition In Favor Of Books Good Enough

How to make your Korean parents happy:

1. Get a perfect score on the SATs.
2. Get into HarvardYalePrinceton.
3. Don't talk to boys.*

Patti's parents expect nothing less than the best from their Korean-American daughter. Everything she does affects her chances of getting into an Ivy League school. So winning assistant concertmaster in her All-State violin competition and earning less than 2300 on her SATs is simply not good enough.

But Patti's discovering that there's more to life than the Ivy League. To start with, there's Cute Trumpet Guy. He's funny, he's talented, and he looks exactly like the lead singer of Patti's favorite band. Then, of course, there's her love of the violin. Not to mention cool rock concerts. And anyway, what if Patti doesn't want to go to HarvardYalePrinceton after all?

Paula Yoo scores big in her hilarious debut novel about an overachiever who longs to fit in and strives to stand out. The pressure is on!

*Boys will distract you from your studies.

Critique Epithetical Books Good Enough

I really enjoyed this book, as a violinist myself. I found this book incredibly relatable and I know others will too. I love the way the author put her own experiences into this story, and the way she described music and how it felt. Everything about this book was purely realistic as well. As a side note, I was somewhat glad Patti didn't end up with Ben. It showed that boys don't have to be your significant other every time. The author captures the feeling music brings really well and translates

Paula Yoos Good Enough is a funny, inspiring ode to music and Korean parents. Loosely based on the authors life, this novel is very realistic about parental pressures and the stress of college applications. My favorite thing about this book is the message that your college major doesnt have to define you. Patti learns that she can always change careers and she can be multiple things at once.Good Enough is perfect for anyone looking for a light, funny young adult novel. Bonus points if you love

A cute, funny book with a touch of poignancy -- this is the book to give to Lisa Yee fans who are going to high school.Patti Yoon is under a lot of pressure: her Korean-American parents want her to excel in everything, and that means getting into All-State Orchestra, socring a 2300 on the SATs, and getting into what they refer to as "HARVARDYALEPRINCETON." But when her first gander at handsome Ben -- aka Cute Trumpet Guy -- causes her to blow her All-State audition (egads, she's relegated to the

This book sparked my inner musician in so many ways. The book starts off with a viola joke--something that made me laugh hysterically, because, as a violinist, I am one of the many cruel people in this world who love to beat up viola players, a revenge for the fact that viola players don't have to work as hard to climb the ladder into a higher orchestra.Patti Yoon is a Korean-American violin prodigy who is pressured by her parents to get into HARVARDYALEPRINCETON. However, when she meets a cute

In many ways, this is a typical book about parental pressure for overachievement and academic excellence. Patti Yoon plays the violin, takes 7 AP courses, and lives her life to please her Korean immigrant parents and earn admission into HarvardYalePrinceton (one word, always yelped in this order). However, Yoo's style of writing ensures that it never comes off as hackneyed (who knew those SAT words would come in handy?). I enjoyed the lists, tips, disclaimers and recipes, but I was most

The book Good Enough talks about the life of a teenager named Patti Yoon. She is a Korean-American girl. She lives with her parents and was raised with the Korean culture. She and her parents have a strong idea about being perfect in everything, which is what good enough means. The book shows us too about American culture and how difficult it was for Patti to be part of it. I liked this book because we can learn many things about the Korean and American cultures. Furthermore I identified with
