Beschreibung

<p><b>Chosen by Stylist as one of the best memoirs of 2026</b><br><b><br>An addictive, tell-all memoir about chasing reinvention in Korea and the reality behind the dream</b><br><br>At twenty-one, fuelled by K-dramas and a need to reinvent herself, Alice Amelia moves to Seoul. She knows no one, doesn't speak the language, and hasn't tried kimchi, let alone Korean corn dogs. But real-life Seoul isn't the glossy, subtitled fantasy she expected.<br><br>Determined to follow her dream, Alice becomes everything she wasn't in England: dousing every meal in gochujang, dancing in K-pop videos, dating famous models, and even injecting salmon sperm into her eye bags.<br><br>As she breaks into the Korean entertainment industry which she idolised, finds friendship, and flirts with love, her life spirals in ways she never imagined.<br><br> Caught between who she was and who she's becoming, will she ever belong in Korea? And what is she willing to sacrifice to stay?<br><br><b>'Brings to life a country as complex and vibrant as its many gochujang-laced dishes. A delicious reminder that we can find "home" in the most unexpected landscapes, people, and flavors' </b>KIM SUNÉE, author of <i>Everyday Korean </i>and <i>A Mouthful of Stars</i><br><br><b> 'Shocking, hilarious, and swooningly romantic, Alice Amelia's memoir reads like one of the best rom-coms - and yet it all actually happened'</b> EMILY CHAPPELL, author of <i>Where There's A Will</i><br><br><b>'A fascinating deep dive into the world (and the seedy inner workings) of k-pop and k-drama ... also an honest account of the author's turbulent twenties and affairs of the heart' </b>SARRA MANNING (on Substack)</p>
