What put me off about this book weren't the writing stye or the general worldbuilding. But rather all those harmful stereotyes conveyed not through some but all characters.
The pathetic attempt to build an interesting main character failed. I mean Liv has the most interesting background story but it's irrerelevant for the stories. The focus of the story kinda remains with the good-looking boygroup. She's doing Kung-fu but even that is on ever mentioned in one or two sentences. Also "since when are u so girly?" She's contantly judged for her actions as a girl but has to go through the average cinderella transformation. It bored me so much.
