Summary:

Jisu’s traditional South Korean parents are concerned by what they see as her lack of attention to her schoolwork and her future. Working with Seoul’s premiere matchmaker to find the right boyfriend is one step toward ensuring Jisu’s success, and going on the recommended dates is Jisu’s compromise to please her parents while finding space to figure out her own dreams. But when she flubs a test then skips out on a date to spend time with friends, her fed-up parents shock her by shipping her off to a private school in San Francisco. Where she’ll have the opportunity to shine academically—and be set up on more dates!

Navigating her host family, her new city and school, and more dates, Jisu finds comfort in taking the photographs that populate her ever-growing social media account. Soon attention from two very different boys sends Jisu into a tailspin of soul-searching. As her passion for photography lights her on fire, does she even want to find The One? And what if her One isn’t parent and matchmaker approved?

My Thoughts:

When reading this I didn’t even get to 50% of the book. This book was just not for me. The synopsis of the book and the cover of it made me think that this was going to be a great read.

I know that the author has other books out that everyone seems to be loving, after reading this I don’t think that this author writing style is for me. I just couldn’t connect with the characters it was kind of a bore for me.

There may be people that end up loving this book, but I just wasn’t one of them.
