The purple gold-plated bead earrings are another nod to the cover and are just so pretty. Round earrings are perfect for standing out from the crowd.

Finally, there’s the gold bracelet from Saks Off 5th. It reminded me of the gold warrior bracelets that Rue wears in the book. Beautiful and bold.

Outfit 3: Rent a Boyfriend by Gloria Chao

From all the shades of pink to the Taiwanese couple, this cover is just so cute. It’s great and important to see own-voice stories, especially as we fight against the rise of anti-Asian racism.

In Rent a Boyfriend, Chloe Wang is nervous to introduce her parents to her boyfriend, because the truth is, she hasn’t met him yet either. She hired him from “Rent for Your ’Rents,” a company specializing in fake boyfriends trained to impress even the most traditional Asian parents.

Drew Chan’s passion is art, but after his parents cut him off for dropping out of college to pursue his dreams, he becomes a Rent for Your ’Rents employee to keep a roof over his head. But Chloe starts to fall for the real Drew, who her parents would not approve of, her carefully curated life starts to unravel.

This book was hilarious, but oh so relatable, challenging the model minority stereotype and instead touting the virtues of being your own person. This YA book is especially perfect for CF readers because Chloe and Drew are college-age.

Products: Waterfall Coat, Wrap Sweater, Skirt, Heels, Clutch

For this YA book outfit, it’s all about shades of pink.

First, the coat is the main event on the cover and this waterfall coat from Asos is sure to make a statement.

The elegant pink wrap sweater is so airy and romantic looking. Perfect for a book about fake-dating.

The fluffy mini skirt from Nordstrom is so different from other mini skirts I’ve seen before, but now that I’ve seen it, I love it. It also has a sweet romantic air to it.
