3.0

The title Love in the Big City is a little misleading. This is not a light-hearted romance novel.
A more appropriate title might have been "Heartbreak in the Big City".
But it's not just about love or heartbreak, throughout the book Sang Young Park covers some heavy topics.
I really liked the overall concept, but the execution was somehow a bit messy. I sometimes couldn't remember at what point things happened. Nevertheless, some passages captivated me and I enjoyed reading the book.
