While this was a very light read, I did struggle with this book a bit. It just seemed too ... unrealistic. And yes, I adore unrealistic stories. Books are places where fairytale dreams and reality can collide with no need for logical explanation ... But this was just a bit too far fetched.
I'm also highly intrigued how this segues into the second book. Given the current ending ... it seems even more implausible.

Not the best book I've ever read, yet it's an amazing read for a K-pop fan. This is my second time reading it, and my reactions were either the same energy or even more energy when something big happened. I think I'll forever love this book, or at least as long as I stan K-pop. I started reading the second book the moment I flipped the last page in this book.
Moderate: Violence, Bullying, Child abuse, Emotional abuse, Torture, Toxic friendship, and Body shaming
Minor: Death of parent, Death, Cursing, Mental illness, and Fatphobia
