"From USA Today bestselling author Jen Frederick comes a heart-wrenching yet hopeful romance that shows that the price of belonging is often steeper than expected. As a Korean adoptee, Hara Wilson doesn't need anyone telling her she looks different from her white parents. She knows. Every time Hara looks in the mirror, she's reminded that she doesn't look like anyone else in her family-not her loving mother, Ellen; not her jerk of a father, Pat; and certainly not Pat's new wife and new "real" son. At the age of twenty-five, she thought she had come to terms with it all, but when her father suddenly dies, an offhand comment at his funeral triggers an identity crisis that has her running off to Seoul in search of her roots. What Hara finds there has all the makings of a classic K-drama: a tall, mysterious stranger who greets her at the airport, spontaneous adventures across the city, and a mess of familial ties, along with a red string of destiny that winds its way around her heart and soul. Hara goes to Korea looking for answers, but what she gets instead is love-a forbidden love that will either welcome Hara home...or destroy her chance of finding one"--… (meer)

I enjoyed much about this book. It has a great plot, it really delves into the characters to flush them out. I keep seeing this book shelved with romance, but there is no HEA so in my mind it cannot be one until that point. ( )

I really enjoyed this book! It had lots of interesting K-drama worthy angst and twists. It had a cool storyline of Hara, who has recently graduated from college, discovering her roots after her father dies and she travels to Korea to search for information about her biological parents. I liked the friendship with Boyoung and some of the scenes of her discovering Seoul for the first time with her temporary flatmates.

I feel it’s only fair to concur with other reviewers in pointing out that the blurb clearly categorizes this is as a romance, however in all fairness to readers, there is not a HEA/HFN or anything close to it. So I’d go in not with the expectation that this is a romance, but rather that it is more of a work of contemporary fiction with a love story included but mainly a story about a young woman’s exploration of her identity, and a great look at the issues surrounding adoption and the experience of coming from one country by birth but being raised in another… with some fun touristy scenes thrown in! I see there is a book two and I will definitely be reading on in the hopes that maybe Hara may eventually get her HEA after all! ( )
