Hi bookworms! Today I'm excited to be reviewing Seoulmates by Susan Lee! Thank you to HarperCollins Canada for sending me an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This book is currently available in stores. content warnings
Racism (microaggressions), death of a parent (mentioned), sexism, bullying (mentioned) After her boyfriend Nate unceremoniously breaks up with her, Hannah is determined to win him back. She knows just how to do it too, by embracing the K-pop and K-drama trend. Except she didn't count on her former best friend Jacob (the star of a popular K-drama) to come back into her life. Jacob is desperate for a break from his busy life, and to find out where his friendship with Hannah went wrong. But will the two of them be able to set aside their differences long enough to figure out the whole story?
I haven't read many books that feature celebrity characters, so I was excited to see how it was incorporated into Seoulmates. The overall concept of the book was intriguing, unfortunately I found the plot to be repetitive, especially when miscommunication came into play. I enjoyed learning about the K-drama industry through Jacob's perspective, but I wish we explored that more. The plot was mostly focused on Hannah and Jacob's relationship, and this led to some areas of the book lagging. I also found the characters to be very one dimensional, especially Hannah. I would have liked to see more of her personality and see her grow on her own instead of needing Jacob to guide her. I found the romance to be cheesy but cute at times. I think I would have enjoyed this book more if the characters were more developed. I gave this book 2.5/5 Stars ⭐️⭐️✨. That's a wrap on my review of Seoulmates by Susan Lee! I hope you enjoyed it. What book reminds you of summer? Let me know in the comments below!
