Once Upon a K-Prom by Kat Cho
5.0
Once Upon a K-Prom is about Elena. She used to best friends with Robbie. That was until he moved to Korea. But before he left he promised her that they would go to prom together.
Years have passed by. Things have changed. Robbie is a successful idol and part of one of the biggest K-pop groups. Meanwhile Elena doesn’t feel very seen by her family. She’s focusing on high school, helping out at the community center and no longer wants to go to prom. The best friends are no longer in touch. That is until Robbie suddenly appears on Elena’s doorstep, asking her to go to prom with him.
I really enjoyed reading Once Upon a K-Prom! It’s filled with lots of humour but there are also sweet moments. It has the estranged best friends trope, which means there are enough awkward moments between Robbie and Elena. What else do you expect if one of them acts like not much has changed? Robbie is no longer the same Robbie, or is he? Elena discovers how hectic Robbie’s life is and she gets to know herself better. Did everyone truly leave her just like Robbie did?
Once Upon a K-Prom is a fun, quick read for people who love K-pop books.
