If you’re after some escapist, light romance then So We MeetAgain by Suzanne Park meets the bill. Jessie Kim, a go-getting Wall Street
financier, is laid off. She moves back home to Nashville to lick her wounds and
work out what’s next. Struck by inspiration she launches a new business to
provide “hacks” to prepackaged meals to bring a zest of Korean spiciness to
their rescue. During all of this she
runs into Daniel Choi, also back in town. Daniel was her childhood nemesis, the
kid her parents always measured her against. And, annoyingly, Daniel appears to
still have it all together.
If you can overlook the slightly improbability of Jessie rather rapid success once her business starts, you will find a charming story packed full of characters you wouldn’t mind spending time with in real life. Pick it up for a couple of hours of escape.
