Scandalized by Ivy Owens
4.5
emotional hopeful medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Thank you to @gallerybooks @netgalley for a copy of Scandalized. I don’t watch K-dramas but I envisioned this would be how the book is. 

This was a great first crush romance. I liked that Gigi had no idea that her childhood best friend’s brother was a full fledge celebrity. Their connection was hot!! I am typically not a fan of Insta love and thought the author did a great job of making this not Insta love in the span of the 2 weeks. 

All the characters were likeable and I was vested in seeing how Gigi and Alex make the relationship work despite living in different countries and Alex being so high profile. I can’t wait to read more books from Owens.
