#BookReview: XOXO (XOXO, #1) by Axie Oh






Synopsis: Notting Hill meets Crazy Rich Asians in this standalone YA romcom about the exclusive, elite world of K-Pop - and one girl determined to defy that world for her soul mate.

Jenny knows that she'll never forget Jaewoo, the mysterious boy she met at her uncle's karaoke bar and with whom she spent an unforgettable night roaming LA. She also knows that she will probably never see him again considering he lives in South Korea. Which is why she is so surprised to see him almost immediately after she and her mother arrive in Seoul to take care of her ailing grandmother... on a billboard. Not only does it turn out that Jaewoo a member of one of the biggest K-pop bands in the world, he also attends the same arts academy where Jenny enrolled in Seoul.

Like most K-pop idols, Jaewoo is strictly forbidden from dating anyone, however the connection that he and Jenny have is undeniable. As they try to navigate a secret relationship Jenny must figure out how much she's willing to sacrifice for love.

My Review: 
I like YA books, but this one was a little too juvenile for me. I could see the appeal for a younger teenager. I couldn't keep going because of secondhand embarrassment over a triple text. That's a silly reason, but I don't think this book was for me overall. I recommend it for a younger teenager, like 13 and up.
