I really enjoyed getting to know Hannah and Jacob and their families. Both Hannah and Jacob had personal issues to deal with and failed to acknowledge their lives were being so negatively impacted by ignoring them. Then, when life throws them together again for the summer, they begin to open their eyes and hearts to what they have been missing. Ultimately, it takes each other to recognize the past hurt and move beyond it.

Hannah and Jacob have a heartwarming history together as best friends and now three years later have added a romantic chemistry to their relationship. The banter between them made me both swoon and laugh. I enjoyed the road trip and the creative side of both characters and how they realized following their own dreams was important for personal happiness.

The Korean culture is a big focus of this book and now I want to watch K-Dramas! I enjoyed the foods referenced throughout the book and it definitely made me hungry while reading.
