To her friends, Liza Yang seems perfectly smart, kind, dreams big, and never shies away from a challenge. But to her mother, Liza is stubborn, rebellious, and determined to push back against all of Mrs. Yang’s traditional values, especially when it comes to dating. The one thing Liza and her mom do bond over is their love for baking. Her mom’s popular Yin & Yang Bakery hosts an annual junior competition and Liza agrees to help out, but when she arrives on the first day, Liza realizes that all of the contestants are young Asian American men her mother has handpicked for Liza to date. It doesn’t help that she is actually attracted to one of them, the hot James Wong. But as Liza fights between love and her mother’s approval, Liza will understand there is not just one way to fall in love.
