When I read this plot I was instantly excited! Finally, a unique, fresh new story which I couldn’t wait to get into my hands!
Hiding in an Korean Boarding School! Go Girl!
Gracie comes from a loaded family that made their money in the music business. But when something horrible (which we have yet to fully discover what that actually is…) happens, she leaves home, her complicated parents to move to a boarding school in Korea! Yeah, Gracie couldn’t get far enough away from her home… So she not only has to deal with her train past but also this whole new culture and social environment, but Grace took everything like a Champ. You really felt that she wanted to be there, that she wanted to make this work and take this chance to learn from such a different culture and to grow!
Making Friends, Finding Love and Heal with the help of music!
This story is a wonderful story about family dynamics and friendships and Gracie easily became friends with Sophie who grew up in the US with her Twin Brother Jason who is a famous Korean Pop Star. Jason is an interesting character and a not so easy love interest. Their friendship and finally romance was sometimes adorable cute and shy, and sometimes frustratingly slow and careful. But all in all it felt completely genuine and sweet! They initially bonded over music and I loved how music played such a big role in their life and also on their path of healing.

Bottom Line
Hello, I Love You by Katie M. Stout is a delightfully fresh story that easily draws you in with a perfect combination of Angst, Romance and Friendship. Katie M. Stout most definitely rocks this Debut and I cannot wait to read more from her!

I wouldn’t’ve even looked at this except I was curious what the story was behind the cover, because the cover is gorgeous. Honestly, though, the title? Made me hesitate. Still, I enjoyed “Anna and the French Kiss” because it was cute and fluffy and since this is supposed to be a lot like it, I think I’ll pick it up sometime. And it’s set in Korea! I love that; I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that before.
Thanks for sharing!

I’ve heard such terrible things about this (the MC is one of those terrible Americans who shouldn’t be allowed out of the country, etc.) it’s nice to hear you liked it. Makes me want to read it, just so I can see what I think!
