ASAP

Somewhere Only We Know meets Crazy Rich Asians in this XOXO companion novel and young adult rom-com from New York Times bestselling author Axie Oh, which follows aspiring K-pop idol Sori and worldwide famous idol Nathaniel as they fight for their second chance at love.

Sori has worked her whole life to become a K-Pop idol. She's taken the right classes, gone to the best school, made the necessary sacrifices, but if anything, her dreams seem to be drifting farther out of her reach, not closer. And with her management agency not only being strict, but also owned by her exacting mother and her father up for re-election everything is starting to spin out of her control. As the pressure to keep her flawless public image grows, the last thing in the world she do is think about Nathaniel.

A member of one of the biggest K-pop bands in the world and strictly forbidden from dating anyone, Nathaniel isn't more of an option now than he was two years ago. But when Nathaniel finds himself rocked by scandal and hiding from paparazzi at every turn, Sori offers her home to him as a hideaway. Close quarters bring back old feelings, and when the opportunity to finally breakout her career lands in her lap, Sori has to decide if her dreams are worth sacrificing a chance at love.
