While this was a very light read, I did struggle with this book a bit. It just seemed too ... unrealistic. And yes, I adore unrealistic stories. Books are places where fairytale dreams and reality can collide with no need for logical explanation ... But this was just a bit too far fetched.

I'm also highly intrigued how this segues into the second book. Given the current ending ... it seems even more implausible.

Oh my god! This might be the best K-pop book I have ever read (besides Jisoo Lee's). I could've read this in a day, but adulting, so yeah, two days. I love Candace Park, Binna, Jinjoo, Aram, and even Helena. I thought One.J was sus, Youngbae, you sweet thing. Eomma, you're the best!💕 *that speech* must be hard to do! Thanks, Stephan, for this beautiful book, and on to the next one. You better have the audiobook companion when you read this.✨
