4.5 ⭐This book was adorable. It‘s exactly what you think you‘re going to get when you see the cover and read the blurb. Our main character is a girl who loves her local community center. So much so that she‘s leading a charge for an alternative prom. It‘s not that she has anything against prom itself, it‘s how much money people spend on prom. Upwards of $1000. She feels that money could be better put to use at the community center.

LibrarianRyan Now once upon a time she had a young, best friend before he moved back to Korea. Since moving back to Korea, he has become an idol in one of the biggest K-pop groups around. She is totally surprised when he knocks on her door and says I‘m here to take you to prom. This book is very tropey, but in the best ways. It is exactly what you think you‘re going to get and exactly what you want when you pick it up. This was a fun romp with a light romance 11mo

If you‘re a fan of K-pop or K-dramas you‘ll find plenty to like in this YA romcom about best friends, prom, promises broken and promises kept. It‘s a fast read with familiar characters but it‘s fun and well executed. A light, fun read that entertains.

Super cute rom-com that in my opinion really nails the chaos surrounding Kpop idol hysteria.

Photo is of Han from the group Stray Kids — I took it at their recent concert in NJ & he was mentioned in the novel as one of the fictional WDB boys celebrity friends. 😆 (It‘s also his birthday. 😆)

The HFN YA I needed at this time. Light, funny with a pinch of teenaged angst. The leads are well rounded. I loved all the K-Pop settings. Not complacent and everything is great settings. I liked it a lot. Would love to read more from this author.

I'm up to about 25% . It's adorably cute. Very YA. Just what I need. Light teenage angst and a pinch of rom com.

Ended my book buying ban with books that bring me joy: books by Asian women.

Can‘t wait to start these because I need some joy in my life! Think we all do during these dark times.
