Publisher's Summary

Jenny’s never had much time for boys, K-pop, or really anything besides her dream of being a professional cellist. But when she finds herself falling for a K-pop idol, she has to decide whether their love is worth the risk. A modern forbidden romance wrapped in the glamorous and exclusive world of K-pop, XOXO is perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Maurene Goo.

Jenny didn’t get to be an award-winning, classically trained cellist without choosing practice over fun. That is, until the night she meets Jaewoo. Mysterious, handsome, and just a little bit tormented, Jaewoo is exactly the kind of distraction Jenny would normally avoid. And yet, she finds herself pulled into spending an unforgettable evening wandering Los Angeles with him on the night before his flight home to South Korea.

With Jaewoo an ocean away, there’s no use in dreaming of what could have been. But when Jenny and her mother move to Seoul to take care of her ailing grandmother, who does she meet at the elite arts academy she’s just been accepted to? Jaewoo.

Finding the dreamy stranger who swept you off your feet in your homeroom is one thing, but Jaewoo isn’t just any student. Turns out, Jaewoo is a member of one of the biggest K-pop bands in the world. And like most K-pop idols, Jaewoo is strictly forbidden from dating anyone.

When a relationship means not only jeopardizing her place at her dream music school but also endangering everything Jaewoo’s worked for, Jenny has to decide once and for all just how much she’s willing to risk for love. XOXO is a new romance that proves chasing your dreams doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your heart, from acclaimed author Axie Oh.

cute story but poor naration

The story is cute and a fast read. Thoroughly enjoyed the story itself but I couldn't stand the narrator. I ended up getting the book to read it and returned the audiobook. While I didn't like the narrator, I do recommend the book if you want a fun, sweet, fluff book.

Skip the audio read the book

Heard a lot of people rave about this book and was expecting a much cuter story. The book doesn't show much insight into the romance of the main characters as I would have liked to see. Which means you don't really have much investment in their story and whether or not they'll work out. The narration was also terrible. I really wish I would have just read the book instead; I think I probably would have enjoyed the story a lot more without the irritating voices the narrator chose to give the characters for whatever reason.

Overall, it was a cute enough story for me to finish it however I'd suggest getting a physically copy instead.

Couldn't finish the book

I could not get past the terrible narration. I ended up returning this book. I may try to read this on my kindle instead.

Cute YA Romance

Cute story and the writing was decent. My one issue is the annoying voices the narrator gave the female characters; I found it distracting.

Could be better

Personally, I expected this book to be very entertaining. But when I started getting into it and listening to it, I started to realize that it really wasn’t that interesting in my personal opinion. The storyline felt boring and it felt like it really wasn’t going anywhere. There was a lot of potential, but I feel as if it really went nowhere.
But I enjoyed the way of the characters were near rated in the way that they had so much Korean representation.

Pretty good story but poor narration

I liked the story, but the narration was poor. I think it's better if you just read the book rather than listen to this.

Not worth the credit

Narration and accent were awful.. the story line had potential but the performance was painful to listen too. This isn't even kdrama worthy..

Save your credit.

This was a fun story.

Jenny, quite a few times made choices that felt inconsistent with her character, but, on the whole, this was a very fun, fluffy, light hearted read that was entertaining.
