Frederick’s sequel to Heart and Seoul is a lovely, warm, and satisfying romance. At 25 years old, Hara Wilson, a Korean American adoptee, has decided she’s ready to meet her birth mother. Visiting Korea creates a new set of challenges for Hara, who must learn to navigate a new language and culture when she lands a job at her birth mother’s company in Seoul. Choi Yujun, Hara’s stepbrother, is the first person she meets upon her arrival in Korea, and she’s instantly smitten with him. It’s a romantic dilemma that causes Hara to question her deepest-held beliefs about identity, family, love, and fate. Greta Jung’s narration of the Frederick’s contemporary romance matches the liveliness of the plot.
VERDICT A fun romp whose adroit audiobook narration only adds to the pleasure.
