![]() Goo takes her characters through a wide range of Hong Kong attractions, from major tourist attractions like a spot that overlooks the entire city to an independent bookstore tucked away by a movie theatre. As much as this is about the love story between Lucky and Jake, Somewhere Only We Know is equally also a love story to Hong Kong. I also love all the little touches that really make Hong Kong come to life in this story. ![]() ![]() It’s such a delight to read, and I was rooting for these characters all the way through. On one level, as I used to say as a teenager, it’s totally kilig to the bones! (“ Kilig” is a Tagalog word that refers to a rush of sheer joy and giddiness because of romantic love.) This story of a K-pop superstar who falls in love with an undercover tabloid photographer during a day of exploring Hong Kong is, quite simply, the kind of cheesy, feel-good romance that takes me back to my childhood. ![]() I absolutely loved Maurene Goo’s Somewhere Only We Know. ![]()
