She will let nothing stand in her way of success, especially not Wes Jung, the cute new student who has started a competing business. It’s a chance to make her parents take her seriously as a young businesswoman and a way to make money to whisk her beloved ailing granny to Paris. Protagonist Valerie Kwon’s K-Beauty business means everything to her. However, after seeing the book advertised on Twitter and learning it was written by a fellow Vancouverite, I decided to give Sarah Suk’s Made in Korea a chance-and I’m so, so glad I did. I didn’t have the best time in high school, and even if I was keen to relive it, I sometimes find it difficult to be invested in the ordinary lives of teens when I’m nearly double their age. Despite my love for all things YA fantasy, I am not usually drawn to YA contemporary romance.
