First, I'd like to preface this by saying that, I misunderstood what this book was about which is why it took me so long to read it. Which I hate myself for because I LOVED this book.
This book was absolutely amazing. Like, if I had the time to sit and read this in one day, I would have.
I was hooked from the first chapter, honestly maybe even page one. I enjoyed every second of it.
I adored Jihoon. He was so sweet and caring and just 10/10.
I was rooting for Ariadne, like I wanted the best for her and I am so happy with the way the story ended for her (and Jihoon).
Hana is also a great side character/friend and I really hope we get a book with her story!
I highly recommend this to other romance readers! (Also, can I please have a Jihoon for myself? Thank you.) I believe this is considered a closed door romance? Also great for fans of K-Pop or K-Pop romances!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was cute but way too long. It did make me start listening to some K pop and omg, I love it. I liked how Ari grew up and rediscovered herself apart from the influence of her parents and what one “should do.” I loved Hana as the blatantly honest best friend. We all need one of those. The romance was somewhat believable and I liked how honest and thoughtful Jihoon was throughout. Overall an easy read with a happy ending.

I really liked the plot of this book. I really liked the characters. Unfortunately, it was repetitive. This was pretty close to getting 4 stars from me, but it could have used some fine-tuning. I am really interested in learning about K-Pop now though.

this book felt like a grown-up version of K-POP fan fiction and it was great
