Made in Korea

audioboek en e-book


Frankly in Love meets Shark Tank in this feel-good romantic comedy about two entrepreneurial Korean American teens who butt headsā€”and maybe fall in loveā€”while running competing Korean beauty businesses at their high school.

Thereā€™s nothing Valerie Kwon loves more than making a good sale. Together with her cousin Charlie, they run V&C K-BEAUTY, their schoolā€™s most successful student-run enterprise. With each sale, Valerie gets closer to taking her beloved and adventurous halmeoni to her dream city, Paris.

Enter the new kid in class, Wes Jung, who is determined to pursue music after graduation despite his parentsā€™ major disapproval. When his classmates clamor to buy the K-pop branded beauty products his mom gave him to ā€œmake new friends,ā€ he sees an opportunityā€”one that may be the key to help him pay for the music school tuition he knows his parents wonā€™t coverā€¦

What he doesnā€™t realize, though, is that he is now V&C K-BEAUTYā€™s biggest competitor.

Stakes are high as Valerie and Wes try to outsell each other, make the most money, and take the throne for the best business in schoolā€”all while trying to resist the undeniable spark thatā€™s crackling between them. From hiring spies to all-or-nothing bets, the competition is much more than either of them bargained for.

But one thing is clear: only one Korean business can come out on top.
