About the Author
Gloria Chao is a screenwriter and the award-winning author of American Panda, Our Wayward Fate, Rent a Boyfriend, When You Wish Upon a Lantern, Ex Marks the Spot, and the forthcoming The Ex-Girlfriend Murder Club. She graduated from MIT, then became a dentist before realizing she'd rather spend her days in fictional characters' heads instead of real people's mouths. When she's not writing, you can find her on the curling ice, where she and her husband are world-ranked in mixed doubles.

Reviews
"A whirlwind adventure through Taipei, which Chao depicts using vivid prose that details Taiwanese tourist life alongside a simmering second-chance romance." --Publishers Weekly

"Chao artfully weaves in themes of Asian American identity, generational trauma, and compassion as each clue that Gemma uncovers leads to another compelling revelation. A thoroughly enjoyable romp that's also rich in self-discovery and romance." --Kirkus Reviews

"A beautiful story about discovering your roots and understanding the difficult choices adults make." --Booklist

"Smart and utterly swoon-worthy, Ex Marks the Spot has Gloria Chao's signature humor and so much heart. Whether you're looking for the perfect rivals-to-lovers rom-com, a love letter to diaspora communities, or a thrilling, beautifully written adventure around Taiwan, it's impossible not to fall in love with this book."
--Ann Liang, New York Times bestselling author of I Hope This Doesn't Find You

"Gloria Chao does it again with an adorable and endearing YA romcom! A sweet love story that highlights culture, family, acceptance, and allowing people to be their true selves. A beautiful (and delicious) exploration of Taiwan from an honest and thoughtful diaspora lens. Fun, humorous and delightful!"
--Kat Cho, New York Times bestselling author of Once Upon a K-Prom

"Irresistibly entertaining and deeply sincere, Ex Marks the Spot is a propulsive journey through culture, family, self-discovery, and the love we find hidden in the most exquisitely unexpected places. Gloria Chao continues to deliver the kind of funny, relatable stories we all deserve!"
--Julian Winters, award-winning author of Prince of the Palisades
