The Comeback by Lily Chu, narrator: Phillipa Soo

Ariadne Hui defines herself by her job. She's a lawyer. A darn good one, even if her heart isn't completely in it. But, this is what her dad has planned for her and she is nothing, if not a dutiful daughter. But her job is stressful and she's not excited to come home and find a stranger in her living room. Just... peachy. 
Choi Jihoon has just gone through a breakup according to his cousin Hana, Ariadne's roommate. He's going to hang out at their apartment while Hana is traveling. While Ariadne isn't particularly keen on the idea at first, she discovers that Jihoon is actually a really good listener. She's just starting to fall for the man when his secret is revealed and Ari is pushed into a realm she never thought she would have to join. 
I didn't love the third act miscommunication, especially since everyone seemed shocked at what I thought was a perfectly reasonable reaction from Ari. But a cute story and I hope the rest of the band members find love.
