Review: First, I must say two things.
Every girl likes a cheesy romance.
But there's such a thing as a way too cheesy (and practically unbearable) romance.
When I saw the book, I fell in love with the cover, since it was super aesthetic, and the book sounded interesting. Sadly, it was just that the cover was cute, and the book sounded interesting. It quickly became clear that the author could have spent a lot more time developing the plot, characters, and everything else. For example, Lucky, as mentioned, is a world famous K-Pop star, thinks that this guy she spends about two days touring the city with, doesn't know who she actually is. I mean are you kidding me? She was literally on the news all the time and she was a big hit. Also, after like a day and a half, they already know they're in love. I mean, that's just too cheesy. Not to mention that there was also the "rock-hard abs" phrase to describe Jack. I could go on and on about this, but point is, this has a lot of potential. I think that if the author would have put in a few more months in character and plot development, it would have been much better.
Things I Loved:
-The one thing I liked about this book, was that it gave me a different perspective on life as a celebrity.
Things I Didn't Love:
-Pretty much everything. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not one who likes to give bad reviews, I just think it was necessary here. It was too cheesy, didn't allow time for character and plot development, and more.
In Conclusion:
I had much higher expectations for this book, and I can honestly say that I was quite disappointed. Even though it was supposed to be that cheesy, hallmark-romance sort of book, it really was just too cheesy for believability.
Recommended?: No.
