A review by jlbailey831
K-pop Confidential by Stephan Lee

4.0

I mostly loved this book. It was fast paced and interesting and showed (but didn’t glorify) the dark side of kpop and stardom. I loved all the references to groups I love and songs I listen to. The side characters were great as well.

But. The author referring to Candace’s period as “that time of the month” multiple times was very like. Tell me you’re a male author writing a female MC without telling me you’re a male author writing a female MC. That and the “she hulk,” “guyliner,” and wearing “virginal white” were very eyeroll-y. Small complaint though.

Very excited for the next book.
