Jackie Oh is done being your model minority.
She's tired of perfect GPAs, PSATs, SATs, all of it. Jackie longs to become a professional chef. But her Korean American parents are Ivy League corporate workaholics who would never understand her dream. Just ask her brother, Justin, who hasn't heard from them since he was sent to Rikers Island.
Jackie works at her grandparents' Midtown Manhattan deli after school and practices French cooking techniques at night--when she should be studying. But the kitchen's the only place Jackie is free from all the stresses eating at her--school, family, and the increasing violence targeting the Asian community.
Then the most unexpected thing happens: Jackie becomes a teen contestant on her favorite cooking show, Burn Off! Soon Jackie is thrown headfirst into a cutthroat TV world filled with showboating child actors, snarky judges, and gimmicky "gotcha!" challenges.
All Jackie wants to do is cook her way. But what is her way? In a novel that will make you laugh and cry, Jackie proves who she is both on and off the plate.
Patricia Park's hilarious and stunning What's Eating Jackie Oh? explores the delicate balance of identity, ambition, and the cultural expectations to perform.
