Shine by Jessica Jung
4.0

Imagine giving up everything you know in search of a dream only to discover the shine of that dream is really made up of sweat, tears, and deceit. Welcome to the world of Korean K-Pop! Follow 17 year old Korean American Rachel Kim as she trains toward her dream of being a star with DB Entertainment—one of Seoul’s largest K-pop labels.

This book is everything K-Pop dreams are made of--crushes, competition, and drama. The world building is phenomenal--luxe and over-the-top but completely believable. I felt like I was right there with Rachel, feeling the longing to succeed.
