I really like the story line and how it all played out. It's not overly sappy or too cliche so that's refreshing. It is inevitable that Casey and David would get together (otherwise it wouldn't be a good romance story), but the process of getting there was fun to watch unfold.I like the idea of Casey's life mirroring the many Korean dramas she and her girlfriends watch, but sometimes the blurbs of conversation about them told too much about what was going to happen in the upcoming chapter. It's a very cool concept just can make the reader look for something specific causing the reader to miss out on other important factors.I thought the last chapter regarding June's marital problems was somewhat out of place, however, if it was meant to be a precursor to the next book then I can see the purpose. If it's not then it just seems like there's too much focus on it when Casey and David are no where near to experiencing those same issues as a new couple. Plus none of the other girls personal lives are on display like that, they are just simply alluded to. Casey didn't let anyone else's relationship impact her decisions until the end so it didn't flow well.There were a lot of typos that can be easily fixed, such as using the wrong word, repeating or misspelling words. Just requires a little editing. Sometimes the errors are small enough that it doesn't stop the flow, but there are some that ruin the syntax and cause the reader to infer or guess what is trying to be conveyed by rereading the sentences over and over again.I think with a few grammar corrections and attention to detail (i.e. The actual setting. In the beginning it seemed like the story was set in Korea, but she lives in the states somewhere--east bay is the only thing given for geographical location. It's never stated exactly where she lives) this would be a great short read for romance lovers.
