Look, I AM Ari. Except I’m not. But I am an INTJ Ennegram 8 woman in this day and age. I am logical and incisive. I am pragmatic and focused and a little cynical. But Lily Chu has yet again knocked a stellar book out of the cosmos. She is a skilled writer who understands writing for the smart (probs most women’s) gaze. I’ve read all three of her books and this one had me 1) deep diving on K-pop for the first time ever and 2) I did indeed shed a tear or two. Thank you for writing men into existence that don’t exist in flesh and blood so I at least have a solid mental archetype to keep me going. I love the teeny tiny carry over between the books too. Highest marks all around.

"He gives me a break from myself."


The beginning was good and interesting but later on I got so bored, I listened to the audiobook version from this book. It's the fact that they broke up like 3 times or more than that. Is it that hard to just talk and stop backing out with every little thing. The same thing over and over again. It took my forever to finish this audiobook. They are adult! Giving this book 2 stars is a lot to be honest.

I really liked this book, and how it ended. I’m in a bit of a reading slump and the moment though so it took me a little while to read it. But I love how in the end everyone stood up to people and got what they wanted in their lives. It was a cute story with a cute ending.
