Maurene Goo, author of Somewhere Only We Know 'A dreamy dose of K-pop idols and secret romances.' XOXO is a new romance that proves chasing your dreams doesn't have to mean sacrificing your heart, from acclaimed author Axie Oh. When a relationship means not only jeopardizing her place at her dream music school but also endangering everything Jaewoo's worked for, Jenny has to decide once and for all just how much she's willing to risk for love. And like most K-pop idols, Jaewoo is strictly forbidden from dating anyone. Turns out, Jaewoo is a member of one of the biggest K-pop bands in the world. But when Jenny and her mother move to Seoul to take care of her ailing grandmother, who does she meet at the elite arts academy she's just been accepted to? Jaewoo.įinding the dreamy stranger who swept you off your feet in your homeroom is one thing, but Jaewoo isn't just any student.

With Jaewoo an ocean away, there's no use in dreaming of what could have been. And yet, she finds herself pulled into spending an unforgettable evening wandering Los Angeles with him on the night before his flight home to South Korea. Mysterious, handsome, and just a little bit tormented, Jaewoo is exactly the kind of distraction Jenny would normally avoid. That is, until the night she meets Jaewoo. Jenny didn't get to be an award-winning, classically trained cellist without choosing practice over fun. A modern forbidden romance wrapped in the glamorous and exclusive world of K-pop, XOXO is perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Maurene Goo. But when she finds herself falling for a K-pop idol, she has to decide whether their love is worth the risk. Jenny's never had much time for boys, K-pop, or really anything besides her dream of being a professional cellist.
