Ariadne Hui is driven to become partner in the law firm where she works. She works excessively and is very regimented with her life. One evening she arrives at her apartment and finds a good-looking man sleeping on her couch. Ariadne quickly learns that he is Choi Jihoon, her roommate's cousin from South Korea, who is in town recovering from a broken heart. Jihoon is very quiet. He tries to stay out of Adriadne's way and not bother her. But the two soon become friends...and then something more.

This contemporary romance started off well. I liked both characters. Ariadne has a strained relationship with her family that Jihoon is helping her overcome. Ariadne learns that Jihoon lied about his reason for visiting his cousin. I was enjoying this contemporary romance up to the point where we got a lot of drama and angst. A little is OK, but it just kept going on and on.

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Phillipa Soo. She does a fantastic job with the narration. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
