About this ebook
"The perfect childhood friends-to-lovers story—full stop." —Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling authors of The Unhoneymooners and The Soulmate Equation
Her ex-boyfriend wants her back. Her former best friend is in town. When did Hannah’s life become a K-drama?
Hannah Cho had the next year all planned out—the perfect summer with her boyfriend, Nate, and then a fun senior year with their friends.
But then Nate does what everyone else in Hannah’s life seems to do—he leaves her, claiming they have nothing in common. He and all her friends are newly obsessed with K-pop and K-dramas, and Hannah is not. After years of trying to embrace the American part and shunning the Korean side of her Korean American identity to fit in, Hannah finds that’s exactly what now has her on the outs.
But someone who does know K-dramas—so well that he’s actually starring in one—is Jacob Kim, Hannah’s former best friend, whom she hasn’t seen in years. He’s desperate for a break from the fame, so a family trip back to San Diego might be just what he needs…that is, if he and Hannah can figure out what went wrong when they last parted and navigate the new feelings developing between them.
"A deliciously swoony romance." —Helen Hoang, New York Times bestselling author of The Heart Principle
"A smart, funny book not to be missed!" —Emiko Jean, New York Times bestselling author of Tokyo Ever After
"Pitch-perfect." —Rachel Lynn Solomon, author of Today Tonight Tomorrow

I absolutely loved this book! While it wasn’t anything crazy or overly- angsty, the book was still emotional and cute. The author really made the reader feel for Hannah and Jacob with all that they went through. It just made it better when Hannah and Jacob finally got to be together. I also really liked the aspect of Hannah coming to terms with her identity as Korean American. At first, she felt like she wasn’t Korean enough, but she eventually overcame them. Overall , a great book.

This was your fairly typical chick flick type book, or I guess I should say, k drama. It was entertaining and cute and very easy to root for Jacob, though not quite so much for Hannah who was quite nasty sometimes, not only to Jacob but also her dad. There is a fine line between pranks like shortsheeting a guest bed, but quite another to push someone away so hard and insult them which only hurts yourself. Hannah crossed that line a few times and it turned me off the story when she did that.

I really enjoyed getting to know Hannah and Jacob and their families. Both Hannah and Jacob had personal issues to deal with and failed to acknowledge their lives were being so negatively impacted by ignoring them. Then, when life throws them together again for the summer, they begin to open their eyes and hearts to what they have been missing. Ultimately, it takes each other to recognize the past hurt and move beyond it. Hannah and Jacob have a heartwarming history together as best friends and
About the author
Susan Lee is the author of the young adult romantic comedies SEOULMATES and THE NAME DROP. Her work has been featured in national outlets such as Buzzfeed, NPR, and Pop Sugar. A graduate of UC San Diego, Susan built a career as an HR executive at some of today’s hottest companies, until she realized that writing stories was a more impactful and powerful format to change the world. Now she channels her energy into writing happily ever afters for those historically underrepresented in romance. When she is not writing (or painfully procrastinating from writing), Susan can be found down the rabbit holes of her many obsessions including listening to Kpop, binge watching K-dramas, collecting sneakers, building mechanical keyboards, and obsessing over her two adorable, but ill-behaved chihuahuas.
