Synopsis

The “glitzy sequel filled with drama and self-discovery” (Kirkus Reviews) to the instant New York Times bestseller Shine! Crazy Rich Asians meets Gossip Girl in this knockout series from Jessica Jung, K-pop legend, fashion icon, and founder of the international luxury brand, Blanc & Eclare.

Couture gowns, press parties, international travel. Rachel Kim is at the top of her game. Girls Forever is now the number-one K-pop group in the world, and her fame skyrockets after her viral airport styling attracts the attention of fashion’s biggest names. Her life’s a swirl of technicolor glamour and adoring fans. Rachel can’t imagine shining any brighter.

The only thing that’s missing is love—but Rachel’s determined to follow the rules. In her world, falling in love can cost you everything.

Enter Alex. When Rachel literally falls head over designer heels into his lap on a crowded metro, she’s tempted to give up her anti-love vows. Alex is more than just heart-stopping dimples and adorably quirky banter. He believes in Rachel’s future—both in music and in fashion.

But the higher you rise, the farther you have to fall. And when a shocking act of betrayal shatters her world, Rachel must finally listen to her heart.

OMGGGGGGGG THE TEA IS SPILLED IN THIS ONE. I was a huge SNSD fan, and when Jessica was kicked out, I dreamed of the day when they would release a tell-all documentary when they were all aged and old.

Full disclosure: I am a huge fan of Jessica since god knows when but I also gotta be honest and say that this is a pretty awful book. There are several problems which make this an awkward narrative. First off is the time skip which does Rachel no favours. In following her story from Shine to Bright,......more

Goodreads review by Estrela on May 18, 2022

The drama was more interesting in this book, but the cat-fighting makes me cringe. Again, I understand that this is Jessica's experience since this novel is her way of getting around SM's NDAs. But this is still a fictional story, a story with many misogynist tropes. Let us begin with how Jessica co......more
