Do you want to read a fun and heart warming story? Chloe Kwon is the baby whisperer! She can make any baby stop crying and can get older kids to do what she wants, in order to take the perfect Santa picture. She is the photographer for Santa at the Riverwood Mall. Her family also owns a Korean food restaurant in the food court. Peter Li works at the North Pole Virtual Reality Experience next to pictures with Santa. The idea is that kids get pictures with Santa and then gets memorized by the virtual reality ride that their parents pay for both. Peter Li parents own a competing Chinese food court restaurant at the food court. The Kwon’s and Li’s animosity and competition stems from competing restaurants at the mall, but it trickles down to their children who go to the same school. Chloe and Peter are in different social circles, but Peter is more popular and gets the better grades. When the mall is threatened to close, can Chloe and Peter figure out a way to save their parents restaurants? What will they discover? Will they be able to put their differences aside? A highly entertaining Rom-Com that will make you laugh, tug at your heart, have you cheering for Chloe and Peter in trying to save the mall,and in the end will warm your heart!
