XOXO - Likewise Book Reviews

"Very easy read, I enjoyed pretty much. Just like watching a kdramas but reading it."

"Really cute! Apparently I like the “one person is a celebrity” trope. No idea what the trope is really called. Ya so no spice, just very sweet. "

"A quick and fun YA romance read!"

"Cute but a little cringy at times. Wouldn’t read the sequel"

"This was such a wonderful fantastic awesome book it made me giddy from start to end I would 100% recommend it to everyone."

"Love it! The characters were adorable and believable and I loved the glimpse into Korean culture. It did make me hungry at times lol as the food sounds amazing."

"Cute, not especially memorable though. Eh? "

"* edit: I have gotten into K-pop and reread this book this year and I’d still recommend :) * I loved this one a lot more than I thought I would! I’m not very familiar with K-pop, but that didn’t seem to hinder my reading experience! I loved the rawness of the relationships/friendships in this book. Would recommend!"

"I loved this book so much! I wish there a was a little bit more at the ending but it was still an amazing cute read! "

"One of my favorite books !! I love the how this book talks about the hardships of teenage relationships and the fame that also came with this book !! Sure an amazing story and so heartwarming!!"

"Meh"

"ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK, if you see this please read this book! Super adorable secret romance and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see a second book about them!"

"It was pretty good, though I wish there was a little more to the ending and I thought it was a little cringe. I think you’d like this better than I did if you were more of a K-Pop fan than I am!"

"Pretty heartwarming book that I really liked. The classic romance trope was a pleasant change from intricate plots, and it was well-executed. The story doesn't overexplain, which adds to its charm. If I had to find a flaw, it would be that it left me wanting more – it was too short!"

"3.5 - This was a really cute read and probably most kpop fans dream of falling for an idol. It is a ya romance which I don't read much of anymore since I can't relate to the characters anymore but I still enjoyed this book. I do wish that we saw more of Sun and Youngmin but I'm hoping that we'll get more of them in the second book."

"This was adorable and overall just so good"

"I LOVE this book. So many moments where I was kicking my feet 😍😍😍"

"I am really looking forward to reading this book. I think the concept sounds really interesting. My friends are huge K-Pop nerds and I plan to get them to read this book. "

"Love love love "

"This was so cute!!"

"This was cute! I mainly picked it up because I needed a book that started with X lol but I enjoyed it! I love a good famous/secret relationship so I figured I’d enjoy it! It reminded me a lot of XO, Kitty so throughout half of it, I felt like I had deja vu lol it was fun and I enjoyed the characters and would read more in this universe! I didn’t love the narrator though so I maybe wouldn’t recommend the audiobook"

"IT WAS AMAZING… I LOVED IT!!! For someone who mostly likes books with romance and action, THIS IS REALLY GOOD!!!"

"LOVED THIS BOOK!! If I could describe this book using only Netflix series I’d say it’s a little like XO kitty and every kdrama you can think of. A quick read considering I finished it in just a day and a half. Perfect for anyone who enjoys romance and kpop."

"ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!! I've never finished a book this quickly before, but I ended up finishing this in less than a day! If anyone finds any books with a similar feel/plot please let me know!!"

"I frickin love this book it made me scream "

"It was cute and a light read. The second couple had me in a chokehold with their little interactions 😝. "

"This story is the Canon "wish-it-were-me" daydream I feel like every kpop stan has played in their head at least once. And that's definitely not a bad thing. Having said this, I found the story to be a tad bit predictable but a fun read nonetheless. I definitely enjoyed it. "

"Has anyone read this book? Is it good?"

"Honestly, the plot twist in this story made my heart throb and I love how it has a happy ending."

"This was such a cute read. And loved how it also educated the reader on Korean culture! "

"This had got to be my favorite high school romance book ever. "

"I absolutely LOVED this book! I don’t usually read my books more than once, but this is one I would 100% read again!!"
