The standout highlight for me in this book was the genuine friendship shared between Francesca and Clara. It felt relatable and real—a bond that added so much depth to the story. Their moments together weren't just heartwarming; they exuded this incredible strength that truly enhanced the narrative.
Fran's journey of self-discovery and growth was a captivating aspect throughout the book. She evolved, matured, and opened her heart in a way that felt truly compelling. Meanwhile, Jae-seung was on his own quest, navigating his past and discovering a deeper sense of self-awareness.
As the story unfolded, it became an easier, more relaxed read. Towards the end, it offered a laid-back vibe, making it an enjoyable and accessible book to dive into.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this book.

Struggling actress + K- pop Singer + Taking a chance on love = This book!
She needs to find her passion, quick! And he's willing to help her.
This book opened my eyes and taught me so many things about the Korean Culture and K - pop.
The bulb & cover may bring this book across as a light hearted comedy ready which in some parts it is, but it also has some hard hitting topics. It includes & mentions anxiety, dementia, suicide, parental abandonment and lying. This might be noting before reading as it may become a trigger for some.
I enjoyed this book and it kept me hooked throughout the read. Wanting to see how they progressed as a couple, how she struggled through her life and finding her answers.
I was left with a few questions with how some of the scenarios became realistic, how did she afford everything ( some expenses were covered by him) and how they both delt with the jet lag.
I will be giving this book 3.5 stars.
I was kindly gifted an ARC copy of this book in return of a honest review.
