Wishlist Wednesday: XOXO by Axie Oh

When is it out?: July 13th (in the UK)

What is it about: Cello prodigy Jenny has one goal: to get into a prestigious music conservatory. When she meets mysterious, handsome Jaewoo in her uncle’s Los Angeles karaoke bar, it’s clear he’s the kind of boy who would uproot her careful plans. But in a moment of spontaneity, she allows him to pull her out of her comfort zone for one unforgettable night of adventure…before he disappears without a word.

Three months later, when Jenny and her mother arrive in South Korea to take care of her ailing grandmother, she’s shocked to discover that Jaewoo is a student at the same elite arts academy where she’s enrolled for the semester. And he’s not just any student. He’s a member of one of the biggest K-pop bands in the world—and he’s strictly forbidden from dating.

When a relationship means throwing Jenny’s life off the path she’s spent years mapping out, she’ll have to decide once and for all just how much she’s willing to risk for love.

Why do I want to read it? I first heard about this book a few months back, when Fairyloot were doing signed pre-orders for the novel. It intrigued me, since Fairyloot usually matches up to my reading tastes quite well, and so I decided to check out the synopsis. I love the idea of a romance between two students, and the fact that Jaewoo is a member of a K-pop band. It sounds like a perfect summer read, light and fluffy with a good dose of drama and a lot of romance.
