I wanted to like this book more than I ultimately did. 

Though the premise was really interesting and the book was generally cute, I found the characters to be flat and only have a few traits that were overly focused on.

Some parts of the plot also read more like a "self-insert" fanfic by the author instead of a fully developed story. With that in mind, Jenny and her romantic dynamic with Jaewoo particularly lacked depth and interest for me.
