The last person Hannah wants to see is her former best friend, Jacob. Until blackmail and a bucket list, along with two meddling mamas, push them together for a summer worthy of a K-drama... Hannah Cho had the next year all planned out--the perfect summer with her boyfriend, Nate, and then a fun senior year with all of their friends. But then Nate does what everyone else in Hannah's life seems to do--he leaves her, claiming they have nothing in common. He and all her friends are newly obsessed with K-pop and K-dramas, and Hannah is not. After years of trying to embrace the American part and shunning the Korean side of her Korean American identity to fit in, Hannah finds that's exactly what now has her on the outs. But someone who does know K-dramas--so well that he's actually starring in one--is Jacob Kim, Hannah's former best friend, whom she hasn't seen in years. He's desperate for a break from the fame and someone to trust, so a family trip back to San Diego might be just what he needs...that is, if he and Hannah can figure out what went wrong when they last parted and navigate the new feelings developing between them.

I'm striking out hard with these contemporary YAs. I really have to start DNF-ing again. In short, I didn't enjoy it due to the unlikeable characters. The enemies-to-lovers trope wasn't executed very well either. Great cover though!
Although this was a super quick read I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted t or though I would. It helped that it was a dual-pov. I preferred Jacob over Hannah so I might've dnfed if the book was solely Hannah's pov. It's not that I didn't like Hannah, I just didn't really have much of an opinion of her. Jacob (to me) was more interesting and I wanted to know more about him over Hannah. I was fine with Hannah when her and Jacob had scenes together but that's about it
It's a pretty decent plot, but then again, I honestly don't remember much of it. I remembered I liked Jacob's family and his whole storyline. I thought Hannah's ex was really annoying so I rolled my eyes basically whenever he was on the page (well screen because ebook). Like, Hannah, I'm sorry, but can't you tell you and Nate don't have much in common? Like clearly you and Jacob are better together! I liked their romance (Hannah and Jacob) but I really didn't remember much of it to tell you lot. Cute read, but that's about it in my eyes.
