“Susan Lee always writes the exact book I want to read!” —Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis
New from the author of Seoulmates comes a story of mistaken identities, the summer of a lifetime, and a love to risk everything for.
When Elijah Ri arrives in New York City for an internship at his father’s massive tech company, Haneul Corporation, he expects the royal treatment that comes with being the future CEO—even if that’s the last thing he wants. But instead, he finds himself shuffled into a group of overworked, unpaid interns, all sharing a shoebox apartment for the summer.
When Jessica Lee arrives in New York City, she’s eager to make the most of her internship at Haneul Corporation, even if she’s at the bottom of the corporate ladder. But she’s shocked to be introduced as the new executive-in-training intern with a gorgeous brownstone all to herself.
It doesn’t take long for Elijah and Jessica to discover the source of the they share the same Korean name. But they decide to stay switched—so Elijah can have a relaxing summer away from his controlling dad while Jessica can make the connections she desperately needs for college recommendations.
As Elijah and Jessica work together to keep up the charade, a spark develops between them. Can they avoid discovery—and total disaster—with their feelings and futures on the line?
The Name Drop is super cute and quick-paced with tons of K-drama spice! I adored this one from Susan Lee and it’s everything you want in a quick read.
Although I flew through this one, it still had a ton of ideals and angst weaved through out. It almost had a Cinderella-esque type retelling yet instead with a Chaebol prince and a hardworking young girl trying to earn her place in the world. I love how Elijah and Jessica’s worlds were colliding in an honest mistake yet so much more was truly at stake for each of them.
Really enjoyed The Name Drop and all the Korean culture Susan Lee always weaves throughout her books. If you’re looking for a mistaken identity meet-cute with tons of sparks flying, definitely grab this one!!
