   Highly recommend this book! The female lead is a neurosurgeon who graduated with a bachelor's, master's, and doctorate. She's a cool and aloof type, the kind of person who's gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. The male lead is the heir to a wealthy family business, the kind who's tough on the outside but gentle on the inside. They complement each other perfectly, a double-guided type of love. The plot is more slice-of-life, sweet but not cloying. A must-read! [Cool]
