Great Read

This was an enjoyable read. This is my second book to involve my favourite music genre: K-pop!! In this book, our heroine, Ariadne Hui is a workaholic lawyer who loves sticking to routine. She is working hard to become partner at her law firm. However, one day coming home from work, she sees a gorgeous man in her place and pulls a knife on him, only to find out he is her roommate’s cousin and famous K-pop star, Choi Jihoon, who is visiting from Seoul to mend his broken heart. As time goes by, Choi Jihoon becomes a friend and later on a love interest for Ari. I thought the story was great. It was entertaining and intriguing. I loved how the story involves romance and K-pop. I thought the narrator, Phillipa Soo was great and told the story in an engaging manner. I really liked the characters. Ariadne was smart and focused, but I thought she was very relatable because she wants to succeed in life. I thought Choi Jihoon was sexy, chaotic and charming. He is part of a K-pop boy band, and whenever I read his character, I thought about my bias from BTS: Jin!! Anyways, before this becomes a K-pop fanfest I will just say this. I loved their romance and also I loved how the story was written. I just thought the ending could have been better. I have become a fan of Lily Chu’s books, and I can’t wait to read more books from her. Overall, a great read.
