Beschreibung

Jenny's never had much time for boys, K-pop, or really anything besides her dream of being a professional cellist. But when she finds herself falling for a K-pop idol, she has to decide whether their love is worth the risk. A modern forbidden romance wrapped in the glamorous and exclusive world of K-pop, XOXO is perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Maurene Goo. Jenny didn't get to be an award-winning, classically trained cellist without choosing practice over fun. That is, until the night she meets Jaewoo. Mysterious, handsome, and just a little bit tormented, Jaewoo is exactly the kind of distraction Jenny would normally avoid. And yet, she finds herself pulled into spending an unforgettable evening wandering Los Angeles with him on the night before his flight home to South Korea. With Jaewoo an ocean away, there's no use in dreaming of what could have been. But when Jenny and her mother move to Seoul to take care of her ailing grandmother, who does she meet at the elite arts academy she's just been accepted to Jaewoo. Finding the dreamy stranger who swept you off your feet in your homeroom is one thing, but Jaewoo isn't just any student. Turns out, Jaewoo is a member of one of the biggest K-pop bands in the world. And like most K-pop idols, Jaewoo is strictly forbidden from dating anyone. When a relationship means not only jeopardizing her place at her dream music school but also endangering everything Jaewoo's worked for, Jenny has to decide once and for all just how much she's willing to risk for love. XOXO is a new romance that proves chasing your dreams doesn't have to mean sacrificing your heart, from acclaimed author Axie Oh. Indigo Best Teen Books of 2021

3 starsThank you to HarperCollins and Edelweiss for this ARC, in exchange for a honest review.As a K-pop fan I was extremely excited to read XOXO. It literally sounded like a K-drama in a book and it delivered. XOXO is filled with lots of romance and music. I liked the main characters, Jenny and Jaewoo and I adored the side characters. I really liked the friendships and dynamics between all the characters. They all were so supportive of each other. This was a cute, enjoyable and light read, however I kind of wanted slightly more and it was pretty predictable. If you're into K-drama, K-Pop or just music and romance in general and want to learn more about Korean culture then this book is for you.

Super fun. Super light. Super cute and feel-good. Felt like a few errors were missed in editing and it ended kinda abruptly but overall was a lot of fun to read

RECENSIONE COMPLETA SUL BLOG Non ho mai smesso di pensare a lui dalla sera in cui ci siamo conosciuti al karaoke di zio Jay. So che alla fine del semestre tornerò in America e quindi questa storia ha già una data di scadenza. E so che, se pure non dovessi andarmene, lui è un idol, una stella nascente destinata ad arrivare sempre più in alto. Ma nonostante tutto, qui e ora, io voglio solo stare insieme a lui.La storia scorre molto bene, nonostante ci siano tanti personaggi, il romanzo si legge bene.Le vicende ci vengono narrate solo dal punto di vista di Jenny, perciò possiamo vedere come la nostra protagonista decida di partire per Seoul, visto che non ha mai conosciuto i suoi nonni materni, e possiamo vedere attraverso il suo racconto il suo stupore nell'apprendere che quel ragazzo conosciuto mesi prima sia un componente di un gruppo che sta avendo molto sucesso.Durante la lettura il lettore ha modo non solo di conoscere le persone che li affiancheranno in questa avventura, in questo caso i restanti membri degli XOXO, ma non solo che accompagneranno Jenny e Jaewoo nel loro percorso.
