This sweet romance features Jenny, a Korean American cellist, and Jaewoo, a South Korean K-pop star. Jenny meets Jaewoo at her uncle's karaoke bar, not knowing that he is a celebrity in his home country. When family issues cause Jenny to move to South Korea for a semester of music school (she is an intensely serious cello player), she is shocked to find Jaewoo going to her new school, and also to learn that he is part of the band XOXO and that as a K-pop star he is not allowed to have a girlfriend. Readers get a taste of life in Seoul, the world of K-pop music, and a swoony romance all in one. Recommended for romance readers grades 8-up. The audiobook was excellent.
