"Susan Lee always writes the exact book I want to read!" —Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis

New from the author of 
Seoulmates comes a story of mistaken identities, the summer of a lifetime, and a love to risk everything for.

When Elijah Ri arrives in New York City for an internship at his father’s massive tech company, Haneul Corporation, he expects the royal treatment that comes with being the future CEO—even if that’s the last thing he wants. But instead, he finds himself shuffled into a group of overworked, unpaid interns, all sharing a shoebox apartment for the summer.

When Jessica Lee arrives in New York City, she’s eager to make the most of her internship at Haneul Corporation, even if she’s at the bottom of the corporate ladder. But she’s shocked to be introduced as the new executive-in-training intern with a gorgeous brownstone all to herself.

It doesn’t take long for Elijah and Jessica to discover the source of the mistake: they share the same Korean name. But they decide to stay switched—so Elijah can have a relaxing summer away from his controlling dad while Jessica can make the connections she desperately needs for college recommendations.

As Elijah and Jessica work together to keep up the charade, a spark develops between them. Can they avoid discovery—and total disaster—with their feelings
and futures on the line?

Praise for this book

"It's official, I'll read anything Susan Lee writes, knowing from the first page that it will be a five-star read. The Name Drop is everything I love about YA: fast-paced, voicey, swoony, with beautiful threads of not only romance but also social commentary of bigger issues facing young people today. Lee delivers a completely unique story about two teenagers finding who they are, together and apart, and I couldn't help but root for them every step of the way." - Mazey Eddings

"I adore a good opposites attract story, even more when said opposites are in cahoots! Susan Lee crash landed on all my 'must read, ' 'forever favorite, ' 'autobuy' author lists with her debut, Seoulmates, and somehow still managed to write an even more spectacular sophomore effort! No one writes characters on the verge of becoming their real and best selves like she does, no has me gasping and laughing at the comedy in her stories, and no one makes me swoon quite this much. Quite simply, Susan Lee always writes the exact book I want to read!" - Ali Hazelwood

"Swoony, hilarious, and big-hearted. Drop everything and read this book!" - Axie Oh

"The Name Drop is the perfect reminder of why contemporary YA has my heart. I loved the depth, drama and sweetness, and couldn't get enough of the gorgeous New York City backdrop." - Jenna Evans Welch
