Cute, easy read. Lizzy is your stereotypical Korean daughter pushed into law by her immigrant parents and clearly had a tiger mom. Jack needs a flaw too so he’s the I love my family and will help the family business even if it means I don’t find what I truly want to do. They’ve known each other since they were 10 and are bff. So of course Jack has carried this unrequited crush on Lizzy forever but never told her. She’s apparently oblivious to it until she decides to take a long vacation from work to recharge and sees him without a shirt while surprising him during his AM run. Jack is too perfect and Lizzy is too much of a stereotype in so many areas, it hurts the story. All other supporting characters are just there… nothing interesting. My favorite parts, the cooking by Jack, his mom, and even Lizzy… that’s about it. The ending is completely predictable and unlike other modern romance trope books, there really isn’t a villain or huge climax/problem. The whole thing left much to be desired.
