Book review:
Kim Jisu is a Korean high schooler. She interested with photography, and have 2 best friends at school. Jisu parents is a typical Korean parents. Pressuring their child for best education. Beside education, her parents sent Jisu for some seon, a formal blind date arranged by professional match maker.
Jisu parents didn't satisfied with her grade and sent her immediately to San Fransisco for her last year junior high school. Jisu stay at Murray family house. She befriend with the Murray teenager daughter.
Jisu make many new friend at her new school. She met two cheerleader and become bestie, and a smart moslem girl who save her from their rasist classmate. Jisu have a school project with the soccer team captain, he is Korean too but never went to South Korea.
Jisu met the charming guy, Austin. She doubt if she fall in love with him. Jisu hanging out with Austin sometimes. In the middle of studying, school project, trolling around to take superb photograph of the city, Jisu still went on seon too,

Jisu plan to back to Seoul on christmas holiday, but her parents already booked flight to visit her. Jisu upset because she can't meet her bestie. Jisu spent sweet time with her grandfather and show him many photo when she explore San Fransisco.
Jisu sent many university application. her friend one by one accepted at the ivy league university. Jisu feels stressed and desperate. Even, her best friend in Seoul got accepted too.
Jisu met her latest seon and found out he is someone from her school. They develop feeling before when doing school project together.

It's my first romance book that I bought this year. The story was simple, devided by 2 part, Jisu daily life and her date/seon. It's interesting to read about how Korean school and love life, since I have a lot of interest in South Korea. I bought this book at Periplus.
