zinelib 's review for:

Shine by Jessica Jung
4.0

This K-pop hopeful is a Korean-American girl relocated to Seoul for her mom's job. 17-year-old Rachel has been in a trainee program since she was 11, and is anxious to make her debut--as is her backstabbing rival, Mina. There are dirty tricks, a boy, a sister, and a neglected best friend in this enjoyable quick read, though the vague ending is a little frustrating.
