Candace is your average Korean-American teen – who can’t believe her luck when she’s picked from thousands of auditionees to travel to Seoul and train to become a K-pop star.

So bad it's good

The plot is okay, with some very cliché antagonists and strange relationships. I found the whole thing of the main character dating her ultimate bias who just so happens to be her age a little unrealistic. But overall I liked the book. The writing is extremely decent and the characters are good. I enjoyed it a lot as a k-pop fan myself!
