I'd like to thank HarperCollins Canada for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review!

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.
