So We Meet Again by Suzanne Park

5.0

When Jess Kim is laid off from her investment banking job, she moves home with no idea what to do. Her mom quickly tries to set her up with Daniel Choi. Daniel is a successful lawyer and much less awkward than the boy Jess remembers from high school. He helps her start a new business: a Korean cooking YouTube channel that helps enhances meal prep kits. When her mom walks on the recording and starts arguing about cooking, Jess’s channel goes viral and her company grows faster than Jess could have ever imagined. Meanwhile, she finds she’s falling in love with Daniel.

As you may know, I am obsessed with cooking shows, so this book was right up my alley. The food descriptions in this book get my first shout out because thy were phenomenal and made my so hungry. I may have made my husband take me to Korean Barbecue while reading this book. I also loved Jess’s journey. Yes, getting laid off was terrible, but it didn’t keep her down for long, and watching her find her real passion and building a business was inspiring. And her mom was hilarious. The mother daughter relationship felt so real and added so much to the story. Oh and how could I not mention Daniel. He might be one of my favorite love interest, although the romance felt like more of a subplot.

Overall, I loved this book and look forward to reading more from Suzanne Park!
