Seoulmates is the story of Hannah and Jacob- once neighbors and now strangers. When Jacob returns from Korea to take a rest from his mysterious job, Hannah is annoyed to see the friend who ghosted her once upon a time. As Jacob and Hannah grow closer, Hannah learns why he was unable to respond and what twists his life has taken since then. They only have one summer together to complete his San Diego checklist and dodge adventurous fans along the way. What happens at the end of the summer?
Hannah is a very funny and relatable heroine. I thought the banter between her and Jacob was hilarious. Jacob is very sweet and well-meaning, although his life has seriously changed since the last time he saw Hannah. I also liked the disability rep from Jacob as he discussed the food allergies he had worked to manage. Occasionally the miscommunication was frustrating as a reader, but I think Lee handled it well overall. The descriptive scenes of San Diego are vivid and transportive. Seoulmates is filled with humor, warmth, and a sweet friends-to-lovers romance. If you enjoy K-dramas, witty banter, and friends-to-lovers romance then I would recommend you check out Seoulmates for a lighthearted and fun read. I listened to Seoulmates on audio and thought the narrators, Hannah Choi and Raymond Lee, were excellent. Thank you to Susan Lee and LibroFMfor a free audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
