Desi Lee never has a boyfriend. Her attempts to flirt have become a funny joke for her circle of best friends. Desi is more talented as a student body president and on the Varsity soccer field. And her good grades and hard work at high school will certainly lead to an acceptance at Stanford, right?
But then Luca Drakos walks into her high school and into her life. And that's the point that Desi decide to bid farewell to her flirting failures. Inspired by the Korean drama series her widowed father watches all the time, Desi is now armed with her 'K-Drama Steps To True Love' which she uses as her flirting guidance and manual which next step to take to steal Luca's heart. Will it help her succeed just like the heroines in the series to end up in his arms in episode ten? First she seems to tackle some obstacles and some clumsy events, but in the end, it seems to work out! But then she finds out that true and real love is so much more then just some soapy drama and she has to figure out if this is what she really wants, if Stanford is what she really wants, and to be honest to Luca, who seems to be just the right guy for her..

The book starts out slowly, but just before the half part it really takes up speed and it becomes a better and better book! The story was fun and just very cute and adorable. Every chapter starts with a K-drama task that Desi wants to fullfill, which leads mostly to a fun, romantic or clumsy moment. It really was just sooo nice that Luca started to fall for her too, so Desi's work wasn't for nothing. In the end though, some serious struggles appear though when Luca finds out what Desi is doing, and he is seriously wondering that she doesn't like him for real, which leads to even more clumsy moments. But in the end, everything falls into place though, which was a nice wrap up! 

This is just a very entertaining and fun read for fans of the books by Jenny Han, or books with a Korean twist to it, I enjoyed reading it!!
