This week I am waiting on….
When up-and-coming investment banker Jess Kim is passed over for a promotion, laid off in a virtual meeting, and then overhears why (“she’s already being overpaid anyway for a woman” and “Asians are worker bees, not someone who can drum up new deals”) she delivers an “eff you guys” speech and storms out of the building. Not sure what’s next, she moves back home to Tennessee with her domineering Korean mom, who tries to set her up with her pastor’s son Daniel Choi, an M&A lawyer by day and a successful video game streamer by night. Turns out he’s swoony and smart, not the awkward preacher’s kid she remembers. With his help, Jess launches a Korean cooking YouTube channel focused on easy meal prep for busy professionals. All is going well until her mom walks on the show mid-live recording and argues about cooking technique. While she hates being berated by her mother in front of the world, it actually works in their favor—they go viral!
Soon her cooking channel becomes an actual media company and brand. When a client is suddenly interested in buying Jess out, she finds herself sitting across the table from the very investment firm she quit not so long ago. But there’s just one other problem: Daniel, the guy whose been helping her and that she’s been falling for, is the firm’s new general counsel.

Why am I waiting on it?
I love Suzanne Park’s books! Her characters and writing style are so engaging and funny and relatable. I fell in love with Loathe at First Sight and I knew that Suzanne would be an auto buy author for me. Plus, this book has an attorney in it, and I am a sucker for romantic comedies that feature an attorney character. I think this book sounds fantastic. I can’t wait to read it!
Cute pick! That’s a new to me one. I hope you positively love it once you get to read it!
Here’s my WoW
Have a GREAT day!
