The Noh Family by Grace K. Shim
5.0
Wow, who knew that my obsession with k-dramas could’ve prepared me for this amazing book? Because I for one could tell that I thought all those years were wasted but this book has taken them and given them a new light. I felt like instead of watching a drama I was reading one unfolds with so many of my favourite troupes that I was swooning and solving the mystery all at the same time.
When Chloe is gifted a DNA test, the last thing she thought she’d learn is that she has a distant family connection…but let’s take it one step further and MEET them in South Korea!? Throw in one of the richest families in South Korea, some stunning fashions, and lots of deceit and you are in for one wild ride
I loved how as a reader I felt immersed in the South Korean culture, not only in the foods but in the family dynamics, the different classes, and how you treat various members in both family and society. Oh, and the mother-daughter relationship is definitely key in this book. While it is rocky for a little bit, I enjoyed that you could see the turmoil and the love between the two, which totally added to the story.
