BOOK REVIEW: XOXO by Axie Oh

Because of this book, I now want to read more K-Pop-inspired novels!

 SUMMARY:

Cello prodigy Jenny has one goal: to get into a prestigious music conservatory. When she meets mysterious, handsome Jaewoo in her uncle’s Los Angeles karaoke bar, it’s clear he’s the kind of boy who would uproot her careful plans. But in a moment of spontaneity, she allows him to pull her out of her comfort zone for one unforgettable night of adventure…before he disappears without a word.

Three months later, when Jenny and her mother arrive in South Korea to take care of her ailing grandmother, she’s shocked to discover that Jaewoo is a student at the same elite arts academy where she’s enrolled for the semester. And he’s not just any student. He’s a member of one of the biggest K-pop bands in the world—and he’s strictly forbidden from dating.

When a relationship means throwing Jenny’s life off the path she’s spent years mapping out, she’ll have to decide once and for all just how much she’s willing to risk for love.

THOUGHTS:

When I picked up this book, I didn’t expect that I’d have so much fun reading it. For that, I like to say first off that I really liked this book!

The writing style of Axie Oh fits into the plot and the characters really well. It’s easy on the eyes. It knows when to be funny and when to be serious.

The two main characters, Jenny and Jaewoo, are both easy to love! They are both likeable characters who are extremely passionate and talented. I love reading about how they do everything they can to achieve their dreams. It’s actually impressive to know that at their age, they already know what they want in life and they’d stop at nothing to get what they want.

As someone who also wanna pursue a creative career, this book definitely inspired me to keep on working to get to where I want to be in life. I thought that if 17-year-olds could do it, then I can too!

Because of this book, I now want to read more K-Pop-inspired novels! 😍

XOXO is definitely worth reading especially if you’re looking for a quick, fun, and inspiring contemporary romance!
