I think the majority of k-pop stans (and when I say majority I mean about 90%) want their idols to be happy no matter what they do or who they end up with. The healthier and happier you are, the more you can give to your fans, right? They should want that for you.” More like, you need to be strong for yourself first, be healthy and happy for yourself first, before you can be strong and give happiness to others. Her stance on how fans should respect their idols and their wishes was amazing and I really wish the hard-core fans in the fandom would see it like that too. Jenny was such a great character though and I really liked the way she thought about life and idols in general. She found out soon enough though and to say the revelation kinda threw her would be an understatement. Their meet-cute was extremely sweet and I can’t believe Jenny didn’t know who he was. I mean a karaoke bar is so fitting for a k-pop idol and those two spent quite a nice night together. I absolutely loved how Jenny and Jaewoo met.

There’s a short pause, then he says softly. ”If you need help, you only have to ask.” P I mean which k-pop fan doesn’t dream of meeting their idol and actually being together with them? XD Okay, so this out of the way we can finally talk about the actual book. Don’t judge me, I needed to live vicariously through Jenny’s POV. *lol* It was my first thought and from then on out I always pictured JK when I read about him. If you’re BTS ARMY and didn’t immediately think of Jungkook when you read this description of Jaewoo then I really dunno. His left arm is in a cast, but a Rolex glints from his right wrist – and are those sleeve tattoos?” ”A silky shirt clings to his shoulders, and his long legs are clad in smooth black pants.

I’m also obsessed with this book cover, it’s gorgeous!!.

I love that it starts with karaoke in her Uncles bar, their first scenes together were soo cute 🥺.

I love the forbidden nature of their relationship because he’s not allowed to date because his life is so public.

I also really love and adore the way he would take care of his family 💕.

The love interest is a K-pop star named Jaewoo, and he’s so SOFT and adorable.

I love that this main character Jenny gets a chance to explore South Korea and visit family she hasn’t met before.

My only critique is that the ending conflict felt a little cliche and unnecessary, but otherwise I loved this so much.

One if my favorite YA books I’ve read in a long time.

Here are some quick thoughts I jotted down after finishing it: It just put a smile on my face the whole time I read it. I wasn’t expecting to adore this YA book as hard as I did, but omg it’s adorable and I can definitely see myself rereading this one in the future.

Xoxo axie oh book buy
