Lucky and Jack are instantly drawn to one another, which I didn’t completely hate.

With that being said, if you’re not a fan of insta-love romances then this book might not be for you. The majority of the story takes place in this one day. Lucky and Jack go on an adventure full of love, growth, and a lot of food.

Once Jack and Lucky’s paths cross, his flaws are on full display because he has a completely different agenda for their day together than Lucky believes. Jack is taking a gap year to figure out his future, but during this time he’s using his photography skills to work for a tabloid magazine. I think readers will be torn on his character. Enter the random boy who is Jack, the other POV in Somewhere Only We Know. So the last thing she should be caught doing is spending an entire day with a random boy she just met.īut, in natural K-Drama fashion, Lucky does just this. She must maintain her squeaky clean, girl-next-door image. Lucky is lost and unsure of her future, a challenge most teenagers face, but she doesn’t have the luxury of going through a rebel phase. We see both the beauty and ugliness of the world of K-Pop while being respectful.

Being a huge K-Pop fan myself, I enjoyed traveling into this fun world Maurene Goo created through her eyes. After her Hong Kong performance she starts to realize that being on top of the music charts no longer makes her happy, though. Somewhere Only We Know is centered around Lucky who is the largest K-Pop star in the world. He’s maybe curious.ġ2:00 a.m.: Nothing will ever be the same. On his way out of the hotel, he runs into a girl wearing slippers, a girl who is single-mindedly determined to find a hamburger. But right now? She’s in her fancy hotel, trying to fall asleep but dying for a hamburger.ġ1:00 p.m.: Jack is sneaking into a fancy hotel, on assignment for his tabloid job that he keeps secret from his parents. She’s about to debut on The Tonight Show in America, hopefully a breakout performance for her career. This is a story about falling in love in the span of a day and how that one person can help change the rest of your life.ġ0:00 p.m.: Lucky is the biggest K-Pop star on the scene, and she’s just performed her hit song “Heartbeat” in Hong Kong to thousands of adoring fans.
