This was definitely a shocking book. It is an easy read and I suppose that it's funny. But the rape, racism and fetishisation of black woman 😬 Yeah...

And near the and the book became very boring and I was just done with it.

(I only rate it this high because this is one of the few dutch books I actually managed to read in a short amount of time)

I was not rooting for the mc at all. She never even wanted to be an idol and just so happens to meet someone in that works in the industry. She isn't charismatic, can't dance and has a mediocre visual. The only things she can do is sing. And when gets chosen to become a trainee (Taking away this chance from more talented girls.) all she does is complain, complain, complain. Plus she creates unnecessary conflict.

And the romance subplot was just not it.

The cover art is pretty though.

TLDR: Your average pick me girl randomly decides to become an idol.
