Overall, this book was very funny and entertaining, but what was missing for me was why it mattered that she wanted to get that specific guy to like her. They barely know each other and suddenly all the crazy stuff she does it to get him to like her. For an entire plot that revolves around that, it seemed like there was very little reason & therefore very little that made me care whether or not she ended up with him.

Fan of Jenny Han and Sandhya Menon, this book is for you !
The truth is I absolutely loved it ! I had an amazing time reading, I flew through it and read it in two seatings, which I hadn't done in a long time. IF there is something I will remember from this book it's that it is HILARIOUS ( and adorable ). It's full of ridiculous actions that made me laugh out loud. Desi was a very funny character to read from, but she was also touching and loving. I loved every page. If you're looking for a fluffy, hilarious contemporary then I will recommend without a doubt.

As light, frothy, sweet, and unsubstantial as cotton candy - I will forget this book in a week but I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Great characters (Appa!) and wonderful to read a YA romance with a Korean POV that wasn’t hitting me over the head with cultural hallmarks.
Cute and silly and a nice read before bed to ease my mind away from life for a bit.
Cute. Goo's characters feel warm & whole, making the romance feel substantial (if with totally bonkers plot). This is a fun, hilarious follow up to her debut which I also really enjoyed. Probably a given, but fans of k-drama should check this one out.
There is a K-Drama guide in the back of the book so you can watch the shows that influenced the story - as some of them are available on Netflix (with slightly different titles) I'm definitely gonna be exploring this.

I honestly am biased towards liking this novel. I'm familiar with the K-Drama formula and enjoyed the attempt at a sort of reality re-creation and having things both relatively go wrong and right by following it. Or have the novel go with the formula even when Desi wasn't trying. I like the little things the author did with her chapter headings, changing them when the plot's goal changed. I do wish there was a little more romantic tension between the love interests (as it tends to be wicked heavy in K-Dramas), but I agree there had to be a balance for it to work for a Western audience.
