I'm finding more and more that YA focused-romance is not for me whereas YA contemporary that focuses on coming of age or societal issues really is my jam. This teen perspective of romance leaves me frustrated and eye-rolling.

In the case of XOXO, I liked the LA and Seoul setting and the characters themselves were okay but their narrative and dialogue was just too young for me. I will give ASAP a go, but I'm expecting more of the same. We'll see.
