I'll Be The One, by Lyla Lee

 

At this point, we're ALL likely tired of the drama and toxic vibes surrounding the recent election. On top of that, we're dealing with Daylight Savings and all the repercussions that go with it. Yikes! November isn't off to a very good start, is it?

That said, I've decided to focus on upbeat and fun books (and movies) this month. Because we ALL need an escape. Starting with I'll Be The One, by Lyla Lee. 

So, K-Pop is the trending thing right now. And let's be honest, with it's colorful cast, upbeat tunes, and sweet dance moves, it's hard NOT to like this genre. Even if you don't willingly admit it, it's probably one of those Guilty Pleasure things you enjoy when you think no one's looking. Let's be honest. You know it's true.

I'll Be The One is adorable and radiates so much positivity! Just look at that cover! You can totally judge this book by it! The story focuses on Sky Shin, a singer and dancer who dreams of being the next K-Pop sensation. Sky has a lot working against her. After all, she's a Bi, plus-sized lady trying to gain entry into a world populated by size 0's. But she's got talent. Lots of it! And she nails her audition. Sky is soon swept into the world of long rehearsals, harsh critics, and band drama. Being a K-Pop star is harder than Sky imagined, but there's also new friendships and maybe even a new romance! I'll Be The One radiates positivity! The story is fun, if a little predictable, and the characters are ones you can root for. You'll totally be happy you read this!
