"Pure fun! A hilarious rom-com that head-fakes you into tumbling headlong into a techno-zombie survival thriller propelled by banter and plenty of heart."—DAVID YOON, New York Times bestselling author of Frankly in Love
Love is a battlefield in this hysterical debut, perfect for fans of Jenny Han.
Nate Jae-Woo Kim wants to be rich. When one of his classmates offers Nate a ridiculous amount of money to commit grade fraud, he knows that taking the windfall would help support his prideful Korean family, but is compromising his integrity worth it?
Luck comes in the form of Kate Anderson, Nate's colleague at the zombie-themed escape room where he works. She approaches Nate with a plan: a local tech company is hosting a weekend-long survivalist competition with a huge cash prize. It could solve all of Nate's problems, and she needs the money too.
If the two of them team up, Nate has a real shot of winning the grand prize. But the real challenge? Making through the weekend with his heart intact...

Oh my goodness guys, The Perfect Escape was the best read that I needed - it is a hysterical read, has a zombie apocalypse themed survival game, and a romance that will make your heart swoon!
Nate Jae-Woo Kim is a scholarship student in one of the top exclusive high schools in Seattle, where students end up in Ivy League. With big dreams, Nate spent a lifetime planning in becoming the perfect college applicant - high GPA, AP classes, sports, and even a part-time job on the side to save some money. With struggling Korean Immigrant parents and a father recently laid off, saving their home is top priority.

Her father, the CEO of a large tech and robotics company has other dreams for Kate and that is to follow his footsteps and have her fast tracked to business school. With a dad too busy to parent, he becomes a virtual helicopter dad by monitoring everything Kate does literally.
Nate and Kate meet each other from their part -time job at the Zombie Escape room and partner together to join in on a weekend zombie survivalist game sponsored by a local tech company. This comes with a 50K grand prize that would help Kate with her Broadway dreams and Nate help his struggling family.
The writing is truly refreshing and with the story told in two point of views, you will fall in love with these lovable characters that are completely relatable. It’s a great romcom you won’t be able to put down! Action packed and also full of heart this is an amazing story.
This book was truly the perfect escape I needed. Make sure to pick this up - the book is releasing 4/7/20.
