This review was originally posted on Bedtime BookwormI received and ARC of this book the Friday night Preview event at YALLWest this year (thanks publisher!). I hadn't heard anything about it prior to YALLWest, but a few of my friends were interested and I figured I would give it a shot. As much as I'm not a huge contemporary fan, I am half Korean so the cultural aspect of this book was a big pull for me. I went into the book with an open mind and to my surprise I really enjoyed it! To be honest, I had a hard time connecting with the main character at first. She came across as a very stereotypical Asian character who tried to be perfect at everything. However, once I got to know her backstory, I understood why she was the way she was a lot better. This contemporary was a fun read, perfect for the summer, and I definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys Korean dramas!
