Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 I was a quintessential L. A. girl for the first twenty-one years of my life. I had a year-round tan, blond highlights, and lived in flip-flops. I wore cutoff shorts from Abercrombie Fitch and sipped on vanilla milkshakes with my burger and fries. #2 I grew up in a Korean household in California, and I straddled both cultures. I spoke English at school, but Korean at home. I was determined to blaze my own trail, and I didn't care about skin care. With time on my side, I put my money toward the latest it perfume instead. #3 I had made the most of living my teenage years in California, but as a young adult, I was bored with the beach and burgers existence. I decided to get out of there and go to college. #4 I was offered a job in Seoul, and after college, I moved there. I was warned that Seoul was fast-paced and overly competitive, but I was convinced that the years I spent in Seoul would be the best of my life
