Summer is here and Hannah Cho is about to have her entire world upside down. When her boyfriend dumps her because he claims they have nothing in common and when she begins to realize that he and her friends are newly obsessed with K-pop and K-drama while Hannah is not... Hannah comes up with a plan to win him back by getting into it.... yet her mom surprises her with news: her best friend and her family are going to be staying with them for the summer... aka: Hannah’s childhood best friend who ghosted her to become a famous K-drama star is coming back into town after 3 years of silence. Jacob Kim was Hannah’s best friend but after a big fight he left and never spoke to her again and now he’s coming back into her life, into her house... and all the old pain is coming back.

Jacob Kim is one of the most popular upcoming K-drama stars. He’s miserable. He misses his best friend, he misses having freedom, and he misses just being able to take a second for himself. His entire life is monitored, from what he eats, how he acts, and even who he pretend dates. So when he injures his ankle and a long lost uncle is claiming to have a scandalous story to sell out about him, his company decides that he should lay low and when his mom says they get an offer to stay at her best friends house it means Jacob gets to reunite with the one person he knows will be complicated. Jacob has a bucket list for what he wants to do while back in San Diego... and he blackmails Hannah into helping him but as they begin to spend more time together the spark and friendship that was there begins to spark again and soon both of them start to realize that they’re perfect for each other.

But what’s life if not complicated, especially for a famous actor? Soon Jacob will have to face a difficult choice: to keep his career despite how miserable it makes him or to finally pursue his own happiness? Filled with misunderstandings ( worthy of any K-drama), romance, cute bucket list trips, rekindled friendship, and so much more, this was a fantastic and adorable read, I loved that we got to read from both Hannah and Jacob’s POVS and that we can see how they both have different pains and struggles and how they both love and cherish the other. This was an adorable friends to lovers romance, and this is perfect for fans of K-dramas ( seriously make it happen yall I want to see this as a movie or a series).
