Summary

Who is Ariadne Hui?

  • Laser-focused lawyer diligently climbing the corporate ladder
  • The “perfect” daughter living out her father’s dream
  • Shocking love interest of South Korea’s hottest star

Ariadne Hui thrives on routine. So what if everything in her life is planned down to the minute: That’s the way she likes it. If she’s going to make partner in Toronto’s most prestigious law firm, she needs to stay focused at all times.

But when she comes home after yet another soul-sucking day to find an unfamiliar, gorgeous man camped out in her living room, focus is the last thing on her mind. Especially when her roommate explains this is Choi Jihoon, her cousin freshly arrived from Seoul to mend a broken heart. He just needs a few weeks to rest and heal; Ari will barely even know he’s there. (Yeah, right.)

Jihoon is kindness and chaos personified, and it isn’t long before she’s falling, hard. But when one wrong step leads to a world-shaking truth, Ari finds herself thrust onto the world stage: not as the competent, steely lawyer she’s fought so hard to become, but as the mystery woman on the arm of a man the entire world claims to know. Now with her heart, her future, and her sense of self on the line, Ari will have to cut through all the pretty lies to find the truth of her relationship...and discover the Ariadne Hui she’s finally ready to be.

Delightful

Pure absorbing entertainment. What are the chances, right? But that’s why I read fiction. Loved that the modern day happy ending does not invalidate the main characters life outside of the romance.

Lily never disappoints

It Was Amazing! I loved everything about the story and I look forward to reading more of Lily's books. Philippa is also brilliant.

Love Lily Chu

Best romance, a bit of a slow start but worth persisting. Also very astute observations on race, colour, culture woven into a story that travels between Canada and east Asia. None the less this is a story everyone will enjoy. Not explicit so also a good one for younger ‘teen’ readers.

Another fun book by Lily Chu

I read the Stand In and enjoyed it so was pleased to see a new book and Philippa Soo back as narrator. It doesn’t disappoint, a cute and entertaining story that I binge listened to in 2 days. Can’t wait for the next one!

Enjoyed it

Audible appears to be forcing reviews and it won't just let me leave ratings. So here we are.

better than I thought

The narrator was good and the story was better. Easy to follow, a good hook that keeps you listening and u can't beat an unrealistic yet realistic romance. Also shines light on racism in a light but powerful way.

Easy breezy chick flick. Sometimes you need a listen like this…

It’s a chilled out listen… very typical chick flicky kind of story… I didn’t feel it was as good as The Stand In, however sometimes you just need a story that is light on the mind and has a vision that continues towards a happy ending… so depending on what mood your in at the moment this book could be completely perfect for you and or completely meh… and for this listening session I was very happy with it and eagerly looked forward to my alone time to listen to it…
