Summary

Who is Ariadne Hui?

  • Laser-focused lawyer diligently climbing the corporate ladder
  • The “perfect” daughter living out her father’s dream
  • Shocking love interest of South Korea’s hottest star

Ariadne Hui thrives on routine. So what if everything in her life is planned down to the minute: That’s the way she likes it. If she’s going to make partner in Toronto’s most prestigious law firm, she needs to stay focused at all times.

But when she comes home after yet another soul-sucking day to find an unfamiliar, gorgeous man camped out in her living room, focus is the last thing on her mind. Especially when her roommate explains this is Choi Jihoon, her cousin freshly arrived from Seoul to mend a broken heart. He just needs a few weeks to rest and heal; Ari will barely even know he’s there. (Yeah, right.)

Jihoon is kindness and chaos personified, and it isn’t long before she’s falling, hard. But when one wrong step leads to a world-shaking truth, Ari finds herself thrust onto the world stage: not as the competent, steely lawyer she’s fought so hard to become, but as the mystery woman on the arm of a man the entire world claims to know. Now with her heart, her future, and her sense of self on the line, Ari will have to cut through all the pretty lies to find the truth of her relationship...and discover the Ariadne Hui she’s finally ready to be.

Delightful

Pure absorbing entertainment. What are the chances, right? But that’s why I read fiction. Loved that the modern day happy ending does not invalidate the main characters life outside of the romance.

Gorgeous!

A gorgeous, fun, and thoroughly heartwarming story. An amazing narrator brought all the characters to life, and the story was really thoughtfully told with humour and sincerity in equal measure.
I loved it!

Mixed feelings

The book was a mixed bag for me. The story was interesting but I wasn't fond of the main character. I thought she was selfish, self-righteous, hypocritical, whiny and self-absorbed. She preferred to think harshly of others so that she could feel good about herself. The only reason I completed the book was because of the other characters. It took multiple characters to balance the one main character. I found her to be very annoying. Even her internal dialogue was annoying. Another thing that helped the book was the narrator. I thought she was very good. I always knew which character was speaking and the narrator gave the right emotion for each scene.

Funny and warming Rom Com

I really wasn’t sure to start with but soon realised it was going to be a great listen, lots of twists and turns and angst , did really love the story and would definitely make a fantastic film loved all the characters

better than I thought

The narrator was good and the story was better. Easy to follow, a good hook that keeps you listening and u can't beat an unrealistic yet realistic romance. Also shines light on racism in a light but powerful way.
