Heart and Seoul
Heart and Seoul | Jen Frederick
2 posts | 1 read | 2 reading | 4 to read
From USA Today bestselling author Jen Frederick comes a heart-wrenching yet hopeful romance that shows that the price of belonging is often steeper than expected. As a Korean adoptee, Hara Wilson doesn’t need anyone telling her she looks different from her white parents. She knows. Every time Hara looks in the mirror, she’s reminded that she doesn’t look like anyone else in her family—not her loving mother, Ellen; not her jerk of a father, Pat; and certainly not like Pat’s new wife and new “real” son. At the age of twenty-five, she thought she had come to terms with it all, but when her father suddenly dies, an offhand comment at his funeral triggers an identity crisis that has her running off to Seoul in search of her roots. What Hara finds there has all the makings of a classic K-drama: a tall, mysterious stranger who greets her at the airport, spontaneous adventures across the city, and a mess of familial ties, along with a red string of destiny that winds its way around her, heart and soul. Hara goes to Korea looking for answers, but what she gets instead is love—a forbidden love that will either welcome Hara home…or destroy her chance of finding one.

I‘m just going to come out and say it. This. Is. Not. A. Romance.

There are definitely some things to like, but don‘t bamboozle me by saying it‘s a contemporary romance when it‘s really a finding yourself book.

Small spoiler in the comments.

kimmypete1 If it doesn‘t have a HEA or HFN then it‘s not a romance, and neither of those exist here. (edited) 3y

Killing time at the Idaho Falls B&N. Picked up one I‘ve wanted to read in forever, and the tagged book from a cute display of international reads.
