The Noh Family by Grace K. Shim
3.0
At first glance, I was really excited to get my hands on The Noh Family. Then I actually dove into it and my opinion quickly changed. Don't get me wrong, it was likable but not necessarily memorable. The characters themselves were interesting but, and it's a huge BUT, I honestly wanted to slap each and every one of them. I definitely wanted to punch the one guy at the club though.
The overall mystery and family dynamic was so weird. Not in a good way either. They just seemed like selfish assholes, and I didn't want to waste my time on them. It was clear in the beginning, that they didn't really care about Chloe. Yet, she just wanted to get that family tingle she has been lacking lately. In a lot of ways, she was annoyingly naive about every little thing. She was never suspicious of what was going on around her and that really frustrated me.
Other than that, the romance really did nothing for me. I liked Mr. Kim but I was just so done with this trip. The friendships were the best part for me. In the end, it was an okay book but really predictable and sort of frustrating to read. I guess it had potential to be better but I'm glad that it's over.
