Book Review:

This perfect YA romance by Suzanne Park is so unique and fresh.

Nate Jae-Woo Kim is a studious nerdy boy who is a high school senior and works in a zombie-themed escape room. He meets Kate Anderson, the daughter of the owner of a leading technology company. Her dad is quite overprotective of her and wants her to join his business whereas she wants to be an actress. She comes up with a plan and so that she can go to New York City to chase her dreams. She convinces Nate to be his partner and participate in a Zombie-themed survivalist competition with a huge cash prize. If they win, Kate can go to NYC and Nate can help his parents financially, save for his college tuition, and invest in his business. They both participate in the competition and have to face a lot of different challenges.

I totally loved this book. It is so different from the mainstream High School drama. All the characters are so loveable. The scenes of the escape room and survivalist competition are so wonderfully written. This book is a perfect read and escape in this quarantine time.

Synopsis:

Nate Jae-Woo Kim wants to be rich. When one of his classmates offers Nate a ridiculous amount of money to commit grade fraud, he knows that taking the windfall would help support his prideful Korean family, but is compromising his integrity worth it?

Luck comes in the form of Kate Anderson, Nate’s colleague at the zombie-themed escape room where he works. She approaches Nate with a plan: a local tech company is hosting a weekend-long survivalist competition with a huge cash prize. It could solve all of Nate’s problems, and Kate needs the money too.

If the two of them team up, Nate has a true shot at winning the grand prize. But the real challenge? Making through the weekend with his heart intact…
