Teen matchmaker Kitty Song Covey thinks she knows love—she’s orchestrated enough of it for others. So when she jets off to the prestigious Korean Independent School of Seoul (KISS) to reunite with her long-distance boyfriend, Dae, she expects fireworks. Instead, she gets a cultural earthquake.
Kitty soon discovers that Dae has been keeping secrets, including a fake relationship with the school’s glamorous “it girl,” Yuri. Heartbroken but not defeated, Kitty pivots her grand plan: she came to KISS for Dae, but she stays to uncover the hidden history of her late mother, who attended the same school decades earlier.
Between chaotic dorm life, a frenemy-turned-reluctant-ally in the prickly Min Ho, and her own crumbling assumptions about romance, Kitty learns the hardest lesson of all—love isn’t something you matchmake for others. It’s something you survive yourself. With her signature optimism and a trail of beautiful disasters, Kitty discovers that the biggest mystery isn’t her mother’s past—it’s her own heart.
