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 positivity—perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Julie Murphy.
Skye Shin has heard it all. Fat girls shouldn’t dance. Wear bright colors. Shouldn’t call attention to themselves. But Skye dreams of joining the glittering world of K-Pop, and to do that, she’s about to break all the rules that society, the media, and even her own mother, have set for girls like her.
She’ll challenge thousands of other performers in an internationally televised competition looking for the next K-pop star, and she’ll do it better than anyone else.
When Skye nails her audition, she’s immediately swept into a whirlwind of countless practices, shocking performances, and the drama that comes with reality TV. What she doesn’t 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 world’s first plus-sized K-pop star, and that means winning the competition—without losing herself.

Wat ik mooi vind aan het hoofdpersonage, is dat ze zichzelf geaccepteerd heeft. In Aziatusche culturen, met name oost-Azië, is het helaas normaal om graadmager te zijn en om super knap te zijn. Ik vind het contrast tussen haar ouders ook iets wat je aan het denken zet. Koreaanse moeder en Amerikaanse vader...

Ik vond het boek leuk, maar snap niet waarom alle personen behalve de hoofdpersoon zo’n irritant stemmetje hebben.
