I'm currently 17. This book felt really "y/n" to me ifyk what i mean. It felt cringe reading it at times because it's like a fanfic. For a Y/A book, it feels more toward middle-grade but more for 13-15

It was a nice read. It was easy and fast, I wouldn't reread this book but I would recommend it to someone if they're interested in something like this. I know there's a second book and I'd love to read it but I dont know how much sexual content there is and i hear its lacking romance

There was nothing SEXUAL here but the process of undoing clothes was here, kissing, 1 dirty comment, stuff like that. Not my thing because i like it just purely love and not lust yk?

This was such a sweet book. I really enjoyed how the author gave such a detailed look into Korean culture and society. My one complaint is that Jaewoo didn’t feel that developed as a character compared to others. I felt the main character had more chemistry with Sori, honestly.

cute YA romance that was enjoyable and fast to read. however, the main character jenny felt unbelievably flat. what was there to her other than the fact she played cello? i enjoyed the side characters the most, notably sori who i felt was INFINITELY more interesting than jenny. she should’ve been the protagonist. jaewoo felt a bit more developed as a character (i understood and liked his personality) but he still felt flat at times. my favourite male character was nathaniel. i found him very funny and likeable and i even wished he was the love interest at one point. this book also read like fanfiction in some scenes, probably because of the nature of the plot and the first person perspective.

3 stars overall, not amazing, not terrible.

24/2/24 update: sori and nathaniel have their own companion novel now called ASAP! im glad since i massively prefered those two over the mcs of this book

This was cute! I loved the friendship between the main character and the students she meets when she moves overseas. The romance component was good and showed how living in two different worlds was complex for the characters. I found the main character’s mother really challenging in terms of the way she interacts with her daughter.
