Review:
I hesitantly chose to review this book for a few reasons. One, I'm not generally a huge fan of novellas. They tend to leave me wanting more, and two, I know absolutely nothing about Korean dramas. Thankfully, neither of those reasons proved to be problematic for this story. The author does a really good job of giving her characters depth and bringing them to life. The story didn't feel like it was rushed or too short for me. I not only enjoyed the relationship between Hannah and Jae, but all of the supporting characters were a hoot as well. Letty, the Dallas Drama Divas, all of them just helped to make the story so much fun. Not knowing anything about K-dramas wasn't too much of a problem either. Granted, I couldn't relate to any of them with their obsession, but it was still fun to read about. I would happily read other stories from this author.
