"a cute quick read! I’ve been reading a lot books surrounding k-pop so that’s what inspired me to pick up this one! there’s no huge plot twist and it’s definitely an easy quick read. but I do think it should have ended with an epilogue or had another chapter or two. I would definitely say it’s more middle-school-young-adult if that makes any sense. I also want to add that the fmc is bi but I wouldn’t consider it an lgbtq book bc there are very little references regarding that. overall I liked it and it entertained me for the time it took to read!"
