Joel and Hana celebrate Christmas the way J. Torres says a lot of Koreans do: by importing the secular trappings of the holiday. So there are presents, cookies, and actual conversation, which is something these two characters barely do.I also enjoyed the beginning essay on other Korean holidays, and the cheery Korean teen that discusses different kinds of Korean dating. This book is way better as a cultural introduction to Korea than as, oh, a love story.
