Description
The sudden death of one’s older brother and his sister-in-law. Amidst this man’s quiet and boring life that resembled a black-and-white movie, the overflowing energy of a six-year-old girl came out of nowhere. The fearless Baek Tae-joon came to collapse without mercy. This was what Tae-joon suggested to ‘Miss Minnie’, a kindergarten assistant teacher whom Rose clung to often. And, by the way. ‘I’m finally going crazy.’ The red cheeks, the fair and translucent skin, the cherry-like lips that seemed to be coated in sticky syrup, the feeling of her soft hands, and the strangely ticklish, whispery voice grazing his ears. The image that popped into his mind without warning hardened his lower abdomen. He was raving for Rose’s teacher, ‘Miss Minnie’, almost all the time. Because of her sensitive adolescent complex and college trauma, Min-hee mastered the expertise of unrequited love. “Will I never try s*x before I die? I wish there was someone who could help me practice how to seduce a man. Maybe I’ll just never have a proper relationship and die leaving only my kittens behind, hnng-” “You have a cat?” “No. Hik.” Tae-joon agilely caught a gap and held onto it. “Don’t cry. You can practice seducing a man using me.”

My Thoughts on XOXO, Miss Minnie
"XOXO, Miss Minnie" is a web novel that I ventured into with a mix of curiosity and caution, given its blend of adult themes, comedy, romance, and a healthy dose of smut. With the popular boss-subordinate trope at its core, I was prepared for a potentially formulaic read, but I was also hoping for a fresh spin on familiar elements.
First Impressions
The initial chapters drew me in with the promise of a Cinderella-esque story. The setup is classic: a seemingly cold and aloof CEO finds his world turned upside down by a charming and spirited woman. I was intrigued to see how the author would develop their relationship and navigate the power dynamics inherent in their situation.
What Works Well
What surprised me most was the unexpected emotional depth woven into the narrative. Beyond the surface-level romance and steamy encounters, the author delves into themes of grief, inferiority complexes, and the challenges of parenting. These explorations added a layer of complexity that resonated with me and elevated the story beyond a simple rom-com. I appreciated the author's willingness to tackle these heavier subjects, offering moments of genuine reflection and vulnerability. The quotes shared about coping with loss were particularly poignant and showcased the author's ability to capture raw emotion. The evolving relationship between the leads, particularly the idea of one being the "sun" to the other's "moon," was undeniably charming.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed many aspects of the story, I did find myself occasionally bogged down by what felt like excessive exposition or drawn-out flashbacks. There were moments where the pacing faltered, and I felt the urge to skim through certain sections. Specifically, the extended flashbacks detailing the female lead's past relationship seemed to disrupt the narrative flow and detract from the central romance.

Final Verdict
Overall, "XOXO, Miss Minnie" offers a mixed bag of heartwarming moments, steamy encounters, and surprisingly deep emotional explorations. While the pacing could be tighter and some narrative choices might not appeal to all readers, the novel's strengths lie in its exploration of complex themes and its charming central romance. I'd recommend it to readers who enjoy stories with emotional depth and are willing to overlook some pacing issues.
