New Release & Review: My Summer in Seoul by Rachel Van Dyken

 My Summer In Seoul by Rachel Van Dyken is now live!

 

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken comes a standalone new adult romance set in the competitive world of K-pop.
It's not all K-dramas and happily ever afters.
Intern with Korea's number one record label? Yes, please.
Find out there's a huge scandal I need to help "manage"... not so much.
Add in the fact that I don't recognize the "superstars" of the label and think they're interns...
And my dream job quickly becomes more of a nightmare.
But I'm in Seoul, the one place that is beginning to feel more and more like home...
Except it isn't home, and the drama surrounding the biggest K-pop group in the world, SWT, is consuming my every moment.
Spoiler alert. They hate me.
Everything I do is wrong: wrong clothes, wrong honorifics, wrong manners.
Till the leader of SWT takes pity on me.
But pity is dangerous when it comes from someone as beautiful as him.
Every SWT member is gorgeous, perfect, and cultivated to be an idol... lethal to a girl's heart.
And sanity.
But fame plus a perfect face and voice don't equal an easy life. As their comeback nears, the stakes rise higher.
Suicide watch...
Angry fans...
Threats...
All I want to do is survive.
But the price for survival might mean losing my heart.
And like a character in a K-drama, I'm not sure if there will be an actual happily ever after...
Or simply a lesson learned.

My Review:

My Summer in Seoul by Rachel Van Dyken
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve been captivated by the K-pop world through this amazing story. Grace is graduating and her dream is work in the music industry but she is struggling to get her foot in the door anywhere. When her Uncle Sui calls and offers her an internship with his company in Seoul, she jumps at the chance. What she gets is a crazy, intense ride. From the moment she lands in Seoul, it’s a land of culture shock and full-on work. Everyone expected her to know the traditions and rules but her father didn’t teach her the Korean ways. As she works to keep one of the hottest K-pop bands on schedule and away from scandal as they prepare for their comeback, she has to learn the hard way how to navigate the rules. For Lucas, he knows how to hide what he’s really feeling as he pursues his passion for music. But even he struggles as he deals with a scandal and family pressure while living the K-pop dream. Meeting Grace rattles his resolve. He wants to hate her but there is something about this uncouth, unfiltered and bold American. I love how this story fully immersed me in the K-pop universe and allowed me to feel like I was part of the story as I rode every emotion these characters lived. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
