David Yoon

David Yoon is the author of the New York Times bestseller Frankly in Love. and now lives in Los Angeles with, and their daughter. He also drew the illustrations for his wife, novelist Nicola Yoon’s New York Times bestseller Everything, Everything. In Super Fake Love Song (G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Young Readers) we meet self-proclaimed total nerd Sunny Dae as he meets Cirrus Soh. He can’t believe how cool and confident she is. So when Cirrus mistakes Sunny’s older brother Gray’s bedroom–with its electric guitars and rock posters–for Sunny’s own, he sort of, kind of, accidentally winds up telling her he’s the front man of a rock band. Before he knows it, Sunny is knee-deep in the lie. She forms a fake band with him, but no way can he trick this amazing girl into thinking he’s cool, right? Just when Sunny is about to come clean, Cirrus asks to see them play sometime. Oops. Now there’s only one thing to do: Fake it till you make it. Great things happen — but it’s only a matter of time before Sunny’s house of cards come tumbling down. Was it all worth it? Kirkus Reviews, in a starred review, called it ” A clever, hilarious, and empathetic look at diverse teens exploring authenticity, identities, and code-switching.”
