Stoppp this was such a fun read! 🥹🥹 considering i love kpop AND romance, this seemed perfect for me- and it was exactly the fluffy, bingeable romcom i needed 💝💝

“If cellists have fan clubs, Jenny, I want to join yours.”

Tropes:
🎀 Kpop romance
🎀 One of them is famous
🎀 Boarding school setting
🎀 Friends to lovers

I've been wanting to read this for ages and i'm honestly so mad for myself for not picking it up sooner! it was sm fun 🫶🫶

Ya romances can definitely be a bit unenjoyable at times and the romance unrealistic, but this book really reminded me why I love them. this book embodied everything so all encompassing about young love and the joys of falling in love for the first time 🥹🥹 I loved the setting of the boarding school in Seoul and the kpop industry provided the perfect backdrop for the romance. the way it was so written was so cute and wholesome, while still having depth, and axie oh's writing was soo easy to binge- I couldn't put this down! 🤭🤭

As for the characters, I really liked them!✨️

➵ Jenny: she was a pretty good fmc! 🥰 i really enjoyed her journey of self-discovery throughout the book & she was super easy to root for. honestly, jenny was just living out my dream- when is it my turn to have a kpop idol obsessed with me?! 😫😫✋️
➵ Jaewoo: i really liked him hehe 👀🤭 he definitely had his hot moments, but he was also suchhh a sweet character. the way he supported and cared for jenny was so cute omg!! 🥹🥹🫂🫂 side note: I kept imagining him as hyunjin from stray kids and... 👀👀

“I’m saying, people do strange things to protect their hearts. But when you’re afraid, your heart is closed, and it’s never the right time, but when your heart is open, and you’re willing to be brave enough to take a chance, the time is always right.”

As for the romance, it was soo cute 🤭🤭 it wasn't anything super crazy, but i definitely felt the chemistry between jenny & jaewoo and they had some really sweet moments 🥹🫶 I honestly enjoyed the side friendships just as much as the romance. especially jenny and somi's friendship!! they were so wholesome 🎀

“Because the people who live for tomorrow don't take risks. They're afraid of the consequences. While the people who live for today have nothing to lose, so they fight tooth and nail.”

Overall, the perfect cutesy ya romance 🥹💝 I would highly recommend this if you're looking for:

✔️ Kpop✨️
✔️ Cute romance
✔️ Wholesome friendships
✔️ Bingeable!

This has seriously fuelled my kpop addiction 🤭🤭
