The Comeback
The Comeback | Lily Chu
5 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
From rising star Lily Chu comes a hilarious and thoughtful story of fame, family, and love for fans of The People We Meet on Vacation and everything BTS. Ariadne Hui thrives on routine. So what if everything in her life is planned down to the minute: that's the way she likes it. If she's going to make partner in Toronto's most prestigious law firm, she needs to stay focused at all times. But when she comes home after yet another soul-sucking day to find an unfamiliar, gorgeous man camped out in her living room, focus is the last thing on her mind. Especially when her roommate explains this is Choi Jihoon, her cousin freshly arrived from Seoul to mend a broken heart. He just needs a few weeks to rest and heal; Ari will barely even know he's there. (Yeah, right.) Jihoon is kindness and chaos personified, and it isn't long before she's falling, hard. But when one wrong step leads to a shocking truth, Ari finds herself thrust onto the world stage: not as the competent, steely lawyer she's fought so hard to become, but as the mystery woman on the arm of a man the entire world claims to know. Now with her heart, her future, and her sense of self on the line, Ari will have to cut through all the pretty lies to find the truth of her relationship...and discover the Ariadne Hui she's finally ready to be.

For all the lovers of K-Pop and K-Dramas and if you read Chu's previous novel "The Stand In", you will find this one to be a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the build up, the drama, and the sweetness of this story. Ari is a fabulous strong FMC character and Jihoon is literally the personification of a cinnamon roll. Getting an inside look at what it takes to be a pop idol was an added bonus.

I devoured the first 23% of THE COMEBACK in one sitting, at the same time as I snuggled Penny. (She‘s so hard done by. I mean, at one point I took my hand off her so I could scratch my nose. BETRAYAL.) It‘s great so far; super readable present tense prose (not purple! minimal past perfect!), compelling personal challenges for Ari to work through, obvious but still interesting twist coming up, and no Americanization. I‘m happy.

Current Audible #audiobook - expires tomorrow. Apparently, Audible is now expiring books acquired in previous months, listened to or not.

wanderinglynn Was it from the Audible Plus catalogue? Because any books purchased with money or credits should not expire. 2y
BkClubCare @wanderinglynn - probably; who can recall how acquired 😂 butyes, I didn‘t explain it thoroughly. Ty 2y
BkClubCare It got yanked early on the day it was to expire! So I only got half way, maybe. I forgot to track 😂 2y
