"Didn't anyone ever tell you? This glamour? This fame? It's all an illusion set up by the label. The execs. And then they'll take everything away from you, framing you as an irresponsible, high-maintenance diva, so that no other label will want to touch you with a ten-foot pole."
Interesting read. This def focused more on the trainee life as opposed to the life of a Kpop star. While some tropes felt like guilty pleasures (such as standing up to bullies, performing better than competitors, etc), this book read as a middle-school read. It followed a basic YA base and it was a fast, easy read. Some parts were cringy and the logic didn't fully flow throughout either.
Why would Rachel be getting herself in trouble in this way and then cry over how important this is to her? It seemed contradictory to put yourself at risk of not debuting by going for someone who has already debuted (especially when another trainee is already out to destroy your life).
Also, how did Rachel manage to debut at the end anyway after the drinking/drugged video of her from the beginning of the book. I feel like that would've been game over.
Also, why is Jason relevant? He sounds so odd and unreliable & I wasn't interested in him in the slightest.
Where was Mina's redemption arc? It doesn't make sense how she's going to keep acting the way she is now that they're debuting & why she's planning on sabotaging Rachel. You bring down Rachel, you bring down yourself and the whole group. But then again, this may be to highlight how bullying is prevalent within the industry (even amongst groups that appear to get along on TV).
Not my cup of tea tbh but entertaining and very quick read (sped through this in a day)
