I have a love hate relationship with second chance romances. This one I loved. This audiobook was such an easy immersive listen. I loved watching Gemma grow throughout a breakup, reconnection, and finding herself. I personally don’t know much about Korean culture so it was nice to learn some new things through this cute romance. I loved that the “third act breakup” wasn’t miscommunication, it was to allow Gemma to learn more about herself and being single. It showed true maturity in knowing you want someone, and if it is the right person it will happen. The idea of Love in Focus was so cute and I loved it. 

The only thing I didn’t particularly like in this book is the voice of Celeste made her seem like in her 40’s not 30. I liked her but it was hard to picture a badass photographer with tattoos, when the voice made me think of a mother who had kids already. 

Thank you to Hachette Audio for letting me listen to it early on NetGalley!
