My Review ♥️

Anne was adopted from China when she was a year and a half, and has always wanted to see where she came from, and she finally gets a chance to go and teach English for the summer. In junior high Anne was teased by Tate, a nerd and fellow classmate, for not knowing her native language, and though to him it was innocent teasing of a major crush, for Anne it was incredibly hurtful and personal. They parted ways and grew up: Anne becoming a teacher and Tate going from nerd to insanely handsome and becoming rich and famous for creating a language app in college.

Tate had made a promise to his grandfather right before he passed away to apologize to Anne for what he did, and when their paths cross again Tate takes his chance, not only to apologize, but to win the heart of the girl he's never been able to get out of his heart.

I am a sucker for nerds and loved how Tate is portrayed. Despite being good looking and rich, Tate is humble and grounded, which is refreshing. He handles himself, and his business, with integrity and I love how he fights to make life better for others less fortunate than himself.

Anne was a tougher character for me to connect with, though my heart goes out to her for all the injustice she endured, especially the discrimination. Reading about some aspects of the Chinese culture was interesting, but all the surveillance the government does on individuals is shocking! I honestly don't know if I could handle having my life scrutinized under a microscope like that.

Heartwarming and swoon-worthy, Miss Oriented and the Billionaire is another great summer read that you will easily breeze through and immensely enjoy!
