From the bestselling author of Fresh Off the Boat comes a subversively funny and surprisingly moving rom-com about a haunted manchild’s twisted search for love.

Hubie lives an exciting life. He hosts a traveling food show, works with his best friend, and samples the best the world has to offer. There’s only one problem: his love life. Hubie treats his romantic partners as courses on a tasting menu. His one rule when it comes to love: three months and it’s over. Hubie is no hubby.

Then he meets Anastasia, a mysterious woman who seems to share his approach to life—she wants fun, sex, and the freedom to depart before dawn. They have chance encounters in glamorous locations around the world—a luxury spa in the Utah desert, a cliffside hideaway in Jamaica, exclusive Los Angeles parties—where they party and flirt with electric energy, but are always with other partners. When they finally connect, the chemistry is undeniable. Just as they find a way to be together, the specters of their pasts—the secrets and burdens beneath their carefree exteriors—arise to threaten everything. Will they be able to accept each other fully when they know the full truth? Can they shake off shame, regret, and emotional baggage to free themselves to love?

Sharply comic but with hidden depths, Come Undone is about how we run from love and how it hunts us down.
“Come for the satirical millennial cringe and over-the-top luxury lifestyle fantasy, stay for the surprisingly sensitive portrayal of a bombastic, bighearted Asian American dudebro who risks it all for a chance at the real thing: true love! Exuberantly horny and—believe it or not—absolutely romantic.”—Jean Chen Ho, author of Fiona and Jane
