An excellent book that pulled at your heart.
Prose wise, it wasn't incredible, but it got the story across
I loved the two POVs
and watching both of them fall for eachother

this book was a cup brimming with fluff, just like those marshmallow fluff shots. i loved all the characters, every single one of em. snow was such a brave, independent girl who could fight like no one else and it was amazing. i utterly adored the pep talks between her and bruce (yall cant tell me u dont talk to inanimate objects as well). ash was just the right amount of playfully cocky and it worked for him. i really enjoyed how the guy was the one who was chasing the girl this time. it was quite refreshing. i also loved the pov switching because i was able to see the thoughts of both snow and ash. this was one of those books where the side characters almost outshined the main ones. min hee and bae bae were the greatest second lead couple and they were wonderful supports to snow. i loved the brother/sister relationship between bae and snow as well as the over protective older brother aura that bae possessed when around ash. the parent/child relationships were also quite wonderful. the care ash's mother and father felt for him was so palpable, i could really feel it. the book also features many korean characters and i loved the addition of the korean words and references. i enjoyed them even more because i understood most of them since i like k pop as well. oh and i almost forgot. BECKS AND SAL I LOVED IT I LOVED THEM YES I GOT TO SEE THEM AGAIN. sigh, becks and ash's love/hate relationship rivals the best bromances out there and sal's close friendship with ash is so adorable. this book was also a bit of a mystery and contained multiple action scenes. compared to other books, i felt that the action scenes werent as intense as i'd like them but tbh, this is a book mostly about romance. this could also be said about the mystery portion of the book because the mystery wasnt all that mysterious. this meaning that i had already had my suspicions on the culprit by like chapter 6. for about the first three quarters of the book, my rating was a 5 and not dropping however, by like 75% it had gradually stopped. at 75%, the author had begun the action scenes and trying to intensify the atmosphere. it just didnt do it for me because the first parts of the book were literally just fluff balls. utter adorableness. but suddenly, the author begins to try throwing basketballs, soccer balls, and metal balls at us. i just couldnt take it very seriously by that point. anyway, the romance was good, the characters were fantastic, and the cultural diversity was fascinating. i just hope that next time the author could go full on fluff, full on intensity, or be able to balance them better than this book

Ninja Girl is a young adult contemporary romance by Cookie O'Gorman. Last year, I read Adorkable by Cookie and I absolutely loved it. It was so stinkin' cute. Ninja Girl looked super cute, so I couldn't pass this one up. I didn't even realize that it was set in the same universe as Adorkable until I was about halfway through the book. It's not a sequel or anything, so you don't have to read adorkable first, but if you are looking for cute YA reads, you totally should. Both Adorkable and Ninja Girl were excellent!
Ninja Girl is the story of Ash, a politician's son and Snow, an awesome martial artist. I loved the scene in the movie theater where Ash and Snow "met". Holy Cow! That scene was making me nervous. Snow has more guts in her little finger than I do in my whole body I think! I know that is what caught Ash's eye in the first place. Watching him pursue Snow was beyond cute. I loved watching the two of them dance around each other. Snow is a great character. She doesn't really fit in with some of the girls her age, but she does a have a great set of friends. Bae and Min were excellent and I loved having them as supporting characters. I would kind of like to back up three months and read about their story! (Please!) Ash is a great guy too. He felt super genuine and was just the right amount of cocky. (I.E. not too much.) Overall, this was a really fun and cute read. Lots of kicking butt and lots of adorable romance. It was a total win for me. I think I liked it even more than Adorkable.
I loved that even though the storyline was a little unrealistic, it didn't feel crazy out of place. I wouldn't picture a high school aged girl to be selected to be a body guard to a high profile guy who is receiving death threats. But the funny thing, is it felt super realistic. Cookie O'Gorman truly did a fantastic job with the fighting scenes. I believed that Snow really was a kick butt ninja girl. I think that was my favorite part of the whole book. I loved how much I bought into and believed in the characters and the storyline. Cookie O'Gorman is a great writer. I can't wait to read more books by her. Ninja Girl was a great read for me.

It's a nice change of pace to have the girl save the boy, and Snow was one fierce and fiery heroine. She wore hoodies, had a voracious appetite, and idolized Bruce Lee. Hate me, but I like when the boy falls for a girl, who defies all his norms. Their meet cute was great, and I liked watching them fall for each other. For a little change of pace, this book had a suspense element, which forced proximity for these two, and let us see how amazing Snow was.
Another cute and fun romance from O'Gorman.
