This was a comedic romance full of super rich family drama 🤪 That dynamic of dating between the invisible lines of social classes.
On top of all that, it gives the reader a peek into Asian culture.🎏 I think that’s what I loved the most. All the details about customs and the descriptions of the homes + landscapes. 🎋

There are a lot of characters to keep track of, but it gets easier through the book.
I would say the one issue I had was when Rachel believed these people she had just met instead of her mom. That made absolutely zero sense to me...
But the rest was great.
Note for the minor TW I have listed, they are mentioned as part of a story a charafter tells. But it's important to note they come up.
