"You think about the girls like you, who sacrifice so much to be accepted, who bare their souls and twist themselves into impossible shapes for the world to enjoy,only to be torn apart and destroyed."

Sunny, Mina and Candie win roles on the teen show, Sweet Cadence, before debuting as a K-Pop group. The girls become close friends until Mina dies, which sends Sunny into a deep depression and Candie moves on with her life without them. When Sunny learns that Candie is auditioning for a new K-Pop talent show, Sunny decides the only way she can make things right between them is to audition too, only once there she realizes there is more happening that what she signed up for.

This was a fun read. I loved that this was set in the glamorous world of K-Pop and that there were supernatural elements. This had a few creepy moments, a lot of sass and snark from Sunny and a good memory of what it was like to be a teen girl. I really enjoyed this debut and look forward to reading more from Linda Cheng.
