The fourth book of Goo's is no disappointment! Although she moves away a bit from realistic fiction, Lucky is grounded in her backstory, which contributes to the strength of the book.

I love Maureen's books. They are super cute. I got the chance to meet her a few years back doing promo for her other book, and she was the nicest and sweetest person. I am so excited for her, and I can't wait to read more in the future.

While I could have done without Lucky's "state of being" (being impaired by sleeping pills) as a plot device in the first quarter of the book ... because situations like that generally turn out scary IRL ... I can look beyond that because of the information given from her POV. Goo's novels are always a fun romp. And this one is no exception. Her titles speak beyond Asian readers (and covertly teach non-Asian readers heaps about Korean culture) and are incredibly popular at my library with all manners of teen readers. So much of YA is heavy right now, that it's nice to find authors who are willing to write something, that while it does include drama, is hope filled and fun to read.

Maurene Goo is an auto-read for me and I'm so thrilled she has a new book coming this May! The story did NOT disappoint. It's light and bubbly and funny, with a sizzling romance that doesn't go any farther than kissing. The Hong Kong setting leaps right off the page as Lucky and Jack experience one perfect day together. The secrets they keep from each other will keep readers guessing. K-Pop is hot right now with teens and this is a high-appeal teen romance that's just plain fun to read.

Maurene Goo's "Somewhere Only We Know" is a fun romp featuring a wayward K-pop star and an up and coming paparazzi. This delightful book is an insightful coming of age novel with a cute romance. Set in a detail-rich Hong Kong and chock-full of fun dialogue, this book will charm anyone who likes a good romance.

This book is adorable! It is a story about a k pop star and a tabloid photographer who are thrown together by accident and start to develop feelings for each other. Highly recommended for fans of romance and YA.
