Bite Me, Royce Taslim was a fun YA read. When track start Agnes is injured and sees her college dreams slip away, she ends up finding more than she imagined in an international stand up comedy contest. I liked that this book was set in Malaysia, which felt fresh and new. I'm not much into stand up comedy as a genre, but I thought that the details about Agnes's experience were interesting and fun.

I know that that this one was a YA, but even still at least to this read the teen drama was a little over the top.

I loved this rom-com that was HEAVY on the comedic side! Lauren Ho is hilarious and really captures the humor in teenage angst and having a crush that just won’t leave your head. The characters are well-developed and offer a lot to the story beyond just the protagonist’s journey. The romance was very charming and believable, leading me to root for it all the way through. Funny, endearing, exciting, and funny again, Bite Me, Royce Taslim has a lot to offer in an easy to read package! Huge thanks to Disney Publishing Worldwideand and NetGalley for this ARC!
