About this listen

"Susan Lee always writes the exact book I want to read!" —Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis

New from the author of
Seoulmates comes a story of mistaken identities, the summer of a lifetime, and a love to risk everything for.

When Elijah Ri arrives in New York City for an internship at his father’s massive tech company, Haneul Corporation, he expects the royal treatment that comes with being the future CEO—even if that’s the last thing he wants. But instead, he finds himself shuffled into a group of overworked, unpaid interns, all sharing a shoebox apartment for the summer.

When Jessica Lee arrives in New York City, she’s eager to make the most of her internship at Haneul Corporation, even if she’s at the bottom of the corporate ladder. But she’s shocked to be introduced as the new executive-in-training intern with a gorgeous brownstone all to herself.

It doesn’t take long for Elijah and Jessica to discover the source of the mistake: they share the same Korean name. But they decide to stay switched—so Elijah can have a relaxing summer away from his controlling dad while Jessica can make the connections she desperately needs for college recommendations.

As Elijah and Jessica work together to keep up the charade, a spark develops between them. Can they avoid discovery—and total disaster—with their feelings and futures on the line?

Cute story, needs a better...

I really enjoyed this sweet, not spicy romance.

Jessica is a West Coast strong independent young woman who comes from a hard working middle class family. She gets her dream internship working for a misogynistic Korean company in New York. On the way there, her identity gets mixed up with Elijah, naive son of the CEO. Soon sparks start to fly.

I really love Jessica's internal dialogue, especially when confronting a problem or obstacles. She is a character with a lot of depth. She is also not perfect and has some character flaws, which I really like. Makes her relatable.

It was very interesting to read about the misogynistic attitudes even towards high ranking women in the company. That is not often addressed but is the reality of so many.

Oh Elijah, that character was boring. He had no real personality and other than whiny or being absolutely amazed by everything, didn't really bring much to the story. Oh and he is HOT HOT. Jessica definitely deserved better.

Most of the other character are one dimensional and just there for plot. Even major secondary characters like best friends.

The male narrators was very good but the female....jeesh. Except for Jessica all the other voices were horrible. All the men sounded about the same. The best friend sounded absolutely terrible and hated every scene because the voice was so bad.

The romance was sweet but needed more building and more passion. It felt more like friends hanging out most of the time. All of a sudden, minor flirting turned into head over heels in love in the blink of an eye. I see the foundation of a relationship but no head over heels in love.

***Minor Plot Spoilers *****

My biggest disappointment in the story was the resolution. What is going on with Elijah's dad? How was Elijah able to break away so quickly? So, so many more questions.
