My Summer in Seoul by Rachel Van Dyken Release Blitz and Review!

My Summer In Seoul by Rachel Van Dyken is now live!

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken comes a standalone new adult romance set in the competitive world of K-pop.

It's not all K-dramas and happily ever afters.

Intern with Korea's number one record label? Yes, please.
Find out there's a huge scandal I need to help "manage"... not so much.
Add in the fact that I don't recognize the "superstars" of the label and think they're interns...
And my dream job quickly becomes more of a nightmare.

But I'm in Seoul, the one place that is beginning to feel more and more like home...
Except it isn't home, and the drama surrounding the biggest K-pop group in the world, SWT, is consuming my every moment.
Spoiler alert. They hate me.
Everything I do is wrong: wrong clothes, wrong honorifics, wrong manners.
Till the leader of SWT takes pity on me.
But pity is dangerous when it comes from someone as beautiful as him.

Every SWT member is gorgeous, perfect, and cultivated to be an idol... lethal to a girl's heart.
And sanity.
But fame plus a perfect face and voice don't equal an easy life. As their comeback nears, the stakes rise higher.
Suicide watch...
Angry fans...
Threats...

All I want to do is survive.
But the price for survival might mean losing my heart.
And like a character in a K-drama, I'm not sure if there will be an actual happily ever after...
Or simply a lesson learned.

Review:

I have to be honest. I was on the fence about how I would feel about this book. Let me be clear, I am obsessed with everything Rachel Van Dyken has ever written (at least that I’ve read, which is most of her books). However, I was… anxious about this one because I just wasn’t sure. I wasn’t sure because I truthfully have no experience, no knowledge, no understanding of what k-pop is. I’ve heard of it. Never listened to it. Never looked into the fandom. Don’t really know anything about it except that a few people I follow online have mentioned it and are obsessed with it. I was afraid I wouldn’t connect with this book because I wasn’t/I’m not a part of that fandom. Now? After reading it? I realize there was zero reason to be concerned. Not only did RVD make me super curious about looking into the real world of k-pop, but she wrote another incredible story. There are very few authors who can world build as well as she can. I truly felt like I was a part of SWT, watching in live time as all of their story played out. I felt all of the characters’ emotions. I fell in love with all of them, all for different reasons. There were times I wanted to cry, scream, laugh, clap and hug. This book brought the typical RVD grit and anguish and angst I am used to, but also the love. The deep, soul crushing and reviving love. This story goes beyond any label you could put on it. I just want to say, if there’s anyone out there like me who thought maybe this isn’t the book for them because they aren’t part of the k-pop fandom, please take the chance and read this! I am so glad I did. I loved learning about the background of what musicians have to go through in Korea. I loved the juxtaposition of how Grace didn’t and did fit in. I loved it all. Another incredibly well written story, RVD. I can’t wait to read what comes next. Oh, and… Sookie might just be my favorite 😭🥰 Of course I love Lucas, and Rae, and Jay, and Kai… okay I loved all of them, but Sookie towards the end just… all the feels.
