The world of K-Pop has never met a star like this. Debut author Lyla Lee delivers a deliciously fun, thoughtful rom-com celebrating confidence and body positivityâperfect for fans of Jenny Han and Julie Murphy.
Skye Shin has heard it all. Fat girls shouldnât dance. Wear bright colors. Shouldnât call attention to themselves. But Skye dreams of joining the glittering world of K-Pop, and to do that, sheâs about to break all the rules that society, the media, and even her own mother, have set for girls like her.
Sheâll challenge thousands of other performers in an internationally televised competition looking for the next K-pop star, and sheâll do it better than anyone else.
When Skye nails her audition, sheâs immediately swept into a whirlwind of countless practices, shocking performances, and the drama that comes with reality TV. What she doesnât count on are the highly fat-phobic beauty standards of the Korean pop entertainment industry, her sudden media fame and scrutiny, or the sparks that soon fly with her fellow competitor, Henry Cho.
But Skye has her sights on becoming the worldâs first plus-sized K-pop star, and that means winning the competitionâwithout losing herself.

Fantastisk bok! Inte bara den bÀsta boken om kpop jag lÀst, utan en otroligt bra YA bok om att vara stolt för den man Àr trots omgivningens fördomar.
