This started really cute, and I loved reading about diaspora who doesn’t feel comfortable embracing their culture versus someone who does.
I’m also a sucker for childhood friends to lovers and everything k-idol so this book was right up my alley!

Things that could be minor spoilers (but not really):
It bothered me having the mom’s POV that couple of times. It made no sense to the book and the writing was so different it took me completely out of the story and just felt cringy. If we needed to hear what they had to say I think there were other ways it could have been done.
The last conflict also felt too immature and too much unnecessary miscommunication. I know they are teens but it felt too much and that lowered my rating a little.

Regardless I enjoyed it, it had great diaspora representation and the tropes were the cutest thing.
