The Noh Family by Grace K. Shim
4.0
I don't know a lot about Korean culture. I've seen Crazy Rich Asians, but that's about it - I never really got into K-Pop or K-Dramas. In one of those mini coincidences you notice when you start blogging, this is the second book I've read recently focused on those cultures. There are some terms used here that I didn't know the meaning of, but otherwise the story is perfectly understandable.
It's quite obvious what the Noh family are doing, and I got a bit frustrated that Chloe, with all her vaunted expertise in K-Drama, couldn't see it. But then it's always more obvious from the outside. I didn't catch on to the email thing until halfway through, but the rest of the plan was obvious almost at once.
I thought this was a one off, but the ending seems to imply a follow up, and there are story lines that haven't come to a resolution yet, so it's possible there's more to come. I'd like to read more set in this world - all the descriptions of food and luxury were a lot of fun!
A great frothy read with some nice things to say about family and finding where we belong.
