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\u2014perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Julie Murphy.<\/p>\n

Skye Shin has heard it all. Fat girls shouldn\u2019t dance. Wear bright colors. Shouldn\u2019t call attention to themselves. But Skye dreams of joining the glittering world of K-Pop, and to do that, she\u2019s about to break all the rules that society, the media, and even her own mother, have set for girls like her.<\/p>\n

She\u2019ll challenge thousands of other performers in an internationally televised competition looking for the next K-pop star, and she\u2019ll do it better than anyone else.<\/p>\n

When Skye nails her audition, she\u2019s immediately swept into a whirlwind of countless practices, shocking performances, and the drama that comes with reality TV. What she doesn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

But Skye has her sights on becoming the world\u2019s first plus-sized K-pop star, and that means winning the competition\u2014without losing herself.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
