Candace (which I keep writing as Candance) has a dream and she now has 4 months to prove herself, will she debut?
This is my second K-pop book this week (writing this one on December 3rd), the first one being Shine by Jessica Jung. I still think it is funny that two books about the same theme were released at the same time. And I feel kind of sad because I am sure Shine will get more attention due to being by Jessica Jung.
This book is about Korean-American Candace. Who loves singing, who loves K-pop, but whose mom isn’t happy with that and let’s her play viola (she is terrible at that btw). But she gets a chance when there is a competition nearby. I loved her audition, though I had a snort at her dance performance. Then again, if someone asked me to do something I am not good at I would probably also do as Candace, just do something. Improvise.

Read this whole book in the span of like, 4 hours -- I thoroughly enjoyed! I'd be curious what my friends who are K-pop fans think, but I really liked this as a book that explored not only like, teen feminist themes but also parental love and standing up for yourself.
