Review
Vibrant debut novel . . . an utterly original take on the young-adult fantasy --Entertainment Weekly
This book is a delight from start to finish. It s everything I adore about the best Korean drama, mixed with a dash of urban fantasy. The chemistry between Miyoung and Jihoon kept me turning the pages into the wee hours of the night. Cho s prose and pacing are crisp, and the world is utterly transportive --Renée Ahdieh, New York Times bestselling author of The Wrath & the Dawn
About the Author
Kat Cho used to hide books under the bathroom sink and then sneak in there to read after bedtime. Her parents pretended not to know. This helped when she decided to write a dinosaur time-travel novel at the tender age of nine. Sadly, that book was not published. She currently works in NYC as an editorial assistant.
