Jocelyn "Jos" Wu has two wishes: to make it through high school without dying of boredom and to direct a short film with her best friend.
Will Domenici has two goals: to get assigned to a worthwhile position at his school paper and to find a paying summer gig.
When Joss father tells her their family restaurant may be going under and Will learns he didnt land his dream job at the school paper, all plans are off.
Its up to Jos and unlikely new employee Will to bring A-Plus Chinese Garden into the twenty-first century (or, at least, to social media). What starts off as an awkward partnership soon grows into something more, until family prejudices and an uncertain future threaten to keep Will and Jos apart.
Joss father gives them an ultimatum: save the restaurant and they can continue to see each other. Soon, however, Will and Jos discover that their toughest adversary isnt the local business world; its their anxiety and depression that might doom their relationship.
This Is My Brain in Love is a stunning contemporary romance, exploring mental health, race, and self-acceptance, for fans of Emergency Contact.
