I am not a KPop girlie. That being said I had a good time reading this book. Seeing part of the insanity that these hopefuls go through in order to become a KPop star. The double standards based on gender is ridiculous. 

I'm looking forward to the sequel! 

I really loved this book. And the most amazing things about it was not only the story, but the style of writing, also. It really made me want to keep going and find out what's happening as soon as possible. I can't wait for the next book. Right now I hope this series never ends.

3,5/5
i had really high hopes for this one, but it mostly reminded me of fan fictions i used to read years ago. the whole relationship with Rachel, Mina and Jason was kind of weird and seemed cheesy sometimes.
there were some parts in the book that made me feel angry, happy or surprised, but some parts were boring as well.

the end was really good in my opinion and it makes me curious about her second book “bright” and i hope this one will spill more tea about the industry.
hopeful inspiring lighthearted medium-paced
