Who is Ariadne Hui?
- Laser-focused lawyer diligently climbing the corporate ladder
- The “perfect” daughter living out her father’s dream
- Shocking love interest of South Korea’s hottest star
Ariadne Hui thrives on routine. So what if everything in her life is planned down to the minute: That’s the way she likes it. If she’s going to make partner in Toronto’s most prestigious law firm, she needs to stay focused at all times.
But when she comes home after yet another soul-sucking day to find an unfamiliar, gorgeous man camped out in her living room, focus is the last thing on her mind. Especially when her roommate explains this is Choi Jihoon, her cousin freshly arrived from Seoul to mend a broken heart. He just needs a few weeks to rest and heal; Ari will barely even know he’s there. (Yeah, right.)
Jihoon is kindness and chaos personified, and it isn’t long before she’s falling, hard. But when one wrong step leads to a world-shaking truth, Ari finds herself thrust onto the world stage: not as the competent, steely lawyer she’s fought so hard to become, but as the mystery woman on the arm of a man the entire world claims to know. Now with her heart, her future, and her sense of self on the line, Ari will have to cut through all the pretty lies to find the truth of her relationship...and discover the Ariadne Hui she’s finally ready to be.

Ariadne is goal oriented, career focused and goes out of her way to be a good daughter and meet her family's (in particular her dad's) expectations. So what if working around the clock to get on the partner track at her law firm leaves her no time for anything else, including all the elaborate trips she loves to plan in her mind? Enter Choi, her roommate's cousin from Korea, there to deal with a breakup. Getting to know Choi might just end up disrupting Ari's life in way she never expected!
Though I couldn't exactly relate to Ariadne, coming from a very family oriented culture, I could understand some of her motivation. It still did not take away from my enjoyment of the story or my excitement at the fact that Lily Chu created a spotify playlist for this book (so much YES to that!). I loved learning more about K-pop and Korea and all the food! This was a quick, cute read that'll help you escape reality for a few hours! Make sure you include this one on your summer reading list!

Some things I loved:
- secret celebrity theme, and k-pop no less
- good storyline about finding more about yourself and what you truly want and who you are
- normalizing a lot of the use of make-up and skincare products on men
- very imperfect characters, even Jihoon
- the racism and "old boys" culture is something that's been seen in other books and definitely hit home in terms of the characters' obliviousness ( I nearly died during a scene between 2 white women)
- also the reflection on the concept of "other" as a multiple generation Chinese Canadian, or being "dim sum Chinese"
Other things to note:
- familial tropes are fairly common for stories featuring Asian main characters

Ariadne Hui has her life mapped out. She is laser-focused on making partner at Toronto's top law firm and nothing else. But everything changes when she finds her best friend's very hot cousin, Choi Jihoon, from Korea, in her living room. Jihoon is there to mend from his breakup without disturbing Ari. But with looks like his and probably one of the sweetest men she's ever known, it's not hard to fall in love. But can the duo survive her family's expectations and his work obligations?
Ari was very easy to root for. The whole time, I was screaming: "follow your dreams." Even when she was acting maybe a little too stuck in her ways, I was still on her side. Jihnoo is such a sweet and thoughtful love interest. He was cooking dinner, buying her gifts, listening and indulging her dreams.
Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book and couldn't put it down until the end.
