So We Meet Again by Suzanne Park
Book Description (from GoodReads):
When investment banker Jessie Kim is laid off in a virtual meeting and then overhears why (“she’s already being overpaid anyway for a woman” and “Asians are worker bees, not someone who can drum up new deals”) she delivers an “eff you guys” speech and storms out.
After moving back home to Tennessee to live with her loving but meddling mother and father, she runs into her childhood nemesis - golden child Daniel Choi - at the local Asian grocery store. The smart, charming lawyer appears to have it all...while Jessie has nothing.
Jess begrudgingly accepts Daniel’s help to relaunch her long abandoned Korean cooking YouTube channel Hanguk Hacks, showcasing easy meal prep for busy professionals. But just as she discovers Daniel’s life isn’t as perfect as it seems and there’s more to him than meets the eye, he shows up for a life-changing business opportunity, and their rivalry is back on...

| My Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Lately I have been choosing books based off of their cover/title and I am really glad happy that I did so with this book! I really enjoyed seeing the character development of Jessie...going from somewhat of a meek worker-bee to a successful business woman who doesn't take crap from anyone! Some of my favorite parts of the book were when Jessie was giving the disrespectful men a piece of her mind. I loved Jessie's parents, enjoyed the hate turned love relationship with Daniel and her strong supportive friends that helped make her dreams come true. And the food! This book made me so hungry. I can't wait to try some of these dishes! My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
