christygsp's review against another edition

3.5

Good look into the K Pop world - dealing with double standards and really high expectations and sacrifices for following your dreams. 
I liked the story, though the ending was a bit of a let down (a quick read of the second book also doesn’t seem worth picking up for me). 
I liked it overall
