"Like the very best K-drama bottled up in a book." - Maurene Goo, author of Somewhere Only We Know "A dazzling, utterly swoonful romp that artfully navigates identity and place. I absolutely devoured this." - Mary H. K. Choi, New York Times bestselling author of Emergency Contact and Yolk For fans of Anna and the French Kiss and Loveboat Taipei, this effervescent debut takes readers on a journey to the place where trends are born - Seoul, Korea - where Melody Lee unwillingly moves with her family and must start a new life, a new school...and maybe a new romance.Melody always wanted to get to know the Korean side of her Korean American heritage better, but not quite like this. Thanks to a tiny transgression after school one day, she's shocked to discover that her parents have decided to move her and her mom out of New York City to join her father in Seoul - immediately! Barely having the chance to say goodbye to her best friend before she's on a plane, Melody is resentful, angry, and homesick.
