Flip the Script

About this book

In this simmering, joyous novel, I’ll Be the One author Lyla Lee delivers a tender romance set between two brave teens who decide that when the script isn’t working, it’s time to rewrite it themselves. The first rule of watching K-dramas: Never fall in love with the second lead. As an avid watcher of K-dramas, Hana knows all the tropes to avoid when she finally lands a starring role in a buzzy new drama. And she can totally handle her fake co-star boyfriend, heartthrob Bryan Yoon, who might be falling in love with her. After all, she promised the TV producers a contract romance, and that’s all they’re going to get from her. But when showrunners bring on a new lead actress to challenge Hana’s role as main love interest—and worse, it’s someone Hana knows all too well—can Hana fight for her position on the show, while falling for her on-screen rival in real life?

This ban reflects a growing trend in various states where school boards have faced pressure from parent-teacher associations and community members to restrict access to books that address LGBTQ+ themes. Specific instances include formal complaints lodged in districts in Texas and Florida, leading to votes that upheld the bans despite pushback from advocates for diverse literature. The ongoing debate around the book continues to highlight the contentious nature of educational content related to sexual orientation and gender identity.
