A cute quick read but not much to it. I can’t even really remember what happened

The daughter of a K-pop company owner and politician finds herself being reunited with the one boy who still holds her heart despite her breaking his, her ex-boyfriend, a member of one of the biggest K-pop bands around. Sori is a model and an upcoming idol, her mother owns a K-pop company and her father is a politician.... she's always done everything for her family, bending over backwards to make sure they are happy... even at the cost of her own heart. Sori used to date Nathaniel, a member of one of the biggest K-pop bands. Sori and Nathaniel were so in love... but then a potential scandal happened and her mother told her break up with him and she did... but that doesn't mean she stopped loving him. Sori is still very much in love with Nathaniel, and hiding it has been easy since he was always on tour. But their paths have converged again when her mother asks her to train a potential new member for a girl group called ASAP and Nathaniel is on a break from tour... and is caught in a new scandal... which has Sori offering him to lay low and live in her house until his break is over. Being around the one boy who still has her heart while pretending she isn't affected is harder, it only gets harder when they have to work on shows together... and live together. Sori's mother wants her to not be with Nathaniel while her father wants to use her to get more political connections and support by having her go on dates with potential supporter's sons.... but what Sori wants is to be back with the boy who still has her heart, if only she could break free of her parent's expectations and try to do everything for everyone but herself. In a world where scandals could make or break you and pleasing your parents is second nature, can Sori find it in herself to seize a second chance at happiness while risking it all. This is the sequel to XOXO and does feature cameos of characters from the first however you can read it as a standalone. This was a really cute and fun read. I get the pressure Sori is under and her need to want to make her family happy but at the same time struggling to grasp her own wants. I loved Sori and Nathaniel, Nathaniel is such a sweetheart, constantly ready to do anything for Sori and you can feel that he hasn't ever stopped loving her. I had fun with the characters in this book and loved seeing them get their second chance at romance. The story is sweet overall and I would love to read more romance stories featuring the other members of the band. Overall, I would definitely recommend this series for anyone looking for a celebrity romance, a k-drama like romance, or just a fun romance!

По-интересно от първата, историята беше по-добра. Мислех, че ще е продължение на първата, но е за другата двойка. Естествено накрая са заедно. Тук имаше повече предизвикателства. Края ми хареса, въпреки че как може чак тогава да разбере, че къщата е на майката?! Не е чудно, защото едва ли не се виждат ама да.

Easy, breezy, beautiful romance novel. Was nice to see what happened to the other characters from the original book. I’m happy that they got their happy ending. Was cute with quick pacing. It sucks that people have to live like this actually in Korea though because of crazy fans.
