If I didn't know this was a published book, I'd think I was reading a very long and boring fanfiction. I was so excited to read this, but now I am sad how disappointing it was. From large info dumping and very bland characters, there wasn't anything new. I do give her a star for giving us a view into how trainee lives work, but the delivery was so boring. I actually fell asleep twice reading this book.
Jung tries to make us pity the main character, but it's so hard when she's not relatable from parents who can afford to send her to international school, rich friends who constantly spoil her, her non-logical choices regarding her "best friend", dating a K-pop idol, etc. If you had a Kpop fanfiction check off list, you probably mark them all off. Don't read this if you're expecting a fresh new YA book about Kpop, but do read if you're having trouble falling asleep.

Eh.
It's just a YA novel, but it's set in the k-pop world.
I don't even know what I was expecting.

I read this for the TEA but it ends just as she debuts so I guess I'll have to read the sequel to get what I want lol. It's a three star book but four stars for being the least cringey kpop YA book I've read so far.

Not a bad book. I personally didn’t love the ending but it’s a good lighthearted read.
I read this because I realized I had a day left until 2021 was over and I still hadnt reached my aspirational reading challenge goal of one book but you know what we all have off years and my life is a nightmare so god bless all of you and happy new year
deleted my netgalley review to preserve the last shreds of my dignity rip

DNF-ed cause it's indigestible.
This book deserves minus rating.
The amount of hypocrisy and fakeness this woman possess, it's unbelievable and honestly disgusting.
Any fan of SNSD, kindly stay away from this garbage. It will only enrage you.
