A quote from Lydia’s adventures in Itaewon w the dreamy dreamboat Santi! ITAEWON! Wow, I love Itaewon v much. I love 이태원 클라쓰 so much too and it was my v first favorite K-Drama. It was the 3rd one I ever watched and I’ll never forget how it made me feel the first time bc I love it so much. I stood on the Noksapyeong Bridge and looked @ Namsan Tower and listened to 우리의 밤 by Sondia bc it plays in the show (and I love making deliberate music memories when I travel!! like how I listened to “Nap of a star” by TXT when we were riding the bus to the National Museum of Korea and it was rainiiiing and so perfect and I love thinking abt it!) and 박새로이 runs across that bridge. I loved standing on that bridge! We went to the first 단밤( pub they open in the show and we sat there for a *while* bc I loved being there so much. I felt so comfy there. AS YOU WISH is loaded w so many special places I’ve visited and got to see and feel w my own eyes and heart! Places I love so much! I'm looking fwd to bringing you along w me as you cozy up and read. 가자! Let's go! Ilu, Itaewon. Ilu, Seoul. AS YOU WISH is out 6/24 from Tiny Reps Books! You can preorder it here! xx

A heartwarming story of found family, love, and second chances about three American au pairs in Seoul who realize a wish may be all they need to make their dreams come true
For Lydia, Jenny, and Selene, au pairing in Korea is the opportunity of a lifetime. Lydia wants nothing more than to transform into a leading lady; Jenny is determined to swear off love for good 5,955 miles away from her ex; and Selene is convinced working in Korea will finally lead her to her biological mother.
The girls find comfort in the magic of instant companionship when their host families introduce them. During a combined family vacation, they visit an enchanted waterfall on Jeju Island and make a wish under a full moon. Overnight, everything changes. Suddenly, Lydia is the girl everyone wants—except, strangely, her mysterious art-class partner from Spain. Jenny is having secret, no-strings-attached fun with her host mom’s irresistible younger brother. And Selene is finally getting somewhere in her search for her mother thanks to a research-savvy photographer.
But when Jenny’s romantic feelings begin to deepen, she realizes her wish is standing in the way of real, lasting love. Her decision to undo it will have unexpected consequences—and force Lydia, Jenny, and Selene to reexamine what truly matters and confront the age-old adage “be careful what you wish for.”
