‘Til the end of the show do us part

Letty McDonnell—a hug first and ask questions later kind of gal—stumbles into an unexpected scandal with her favorite K-pop star when she spots him at the airport. Is it bad timing or a blessing in disguise? The international publicity leads to a job offer from the reality show Marry My Stalker, where the two pretend to be man and wife as they complete a variety of crazy couple missions.

Wacky challenges, jealous fangirls, and a language barrier can’t slow Letty down. Especially when she has handsome translator, Ben Park, whispering in her ear. He steers her away from cultural faux pas and offers behind-the-scenes encouragement as she maneuvers the unfamiliar public arena. But is he sincerely interested or just doing his job? The affectionate words her fake husband says for the cameras are always repeated by Ben’s caring voice, and Letty begins to wonder if a romance without spotlights or red carpets is the real path to true love.

My Review: 5 Stars

I'm so excited that Letty gets a story of her own and what a fun one it is! We first met Letty in Flower Boy Tour Guide, where she was a secondary character. A case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time leads her to claim the title of "stalker" for Korean boy band, B4U, and a slot on a new Korean reality TV show, which matches each member of the band with one of their stalkers.

Letty is one of the most gregarious characters I've ever known. She is contagiously friendly and sweet, and her bumbling antics had me laughing. She always manages to turn an embarrassing situation into a positive experience. I absolutely loved the connections she made on and off the set. And let's not forget that she's someone who is truly true to herself--vintage style, curves, and all.

I'm happy to report that I've watch a K-drama and they are fun! It was fun to visualize Letty in her full glory and to picture the drama that was going on. This author writes such fun scenes and characters and I'm hoping there's another book to take me back for more.
