THOUGHTS
ya know, i got this one under my library's skip the line system (the one where you have 7 days to read vs the usual 14 or 21) only because i saw that it started with an X and while i dont ever eeeever read those STL books like i say i will, for some odd reason i did read this one. part of the reason is because i can finally cross X off the abc list because i honestly i cant think of any other.
i myself am not a K-Pop fan so this is already out my zone. im also over that "i think id do anything for you including throwing my life away for you" trope that well of course i wasnt going to click with this one because its all it is.
maybe im just too old for this?
idk.
my issue with this story lies in the fact that this story should have either been meet-cute as fuck OR it should have been what it is but it should have solved all of the problems that it came with, they should have been deeper or they should have been solved better or made clearer or idk. but i feel like it was trying to be cute as fuck with some depth that just went nowhere for me. between Jennys mother and her grandmother it was made such a big thing and i think it was just idk a little deflated. the way jenny just threw her whole ass life around no fucks given. like she was "driven", someone tells her to live a little then all of a sudden she's willing to throw something SO BIG away over some dude . gah! idk. i just, everything about this book fucking irked me.
it just wasnt for me.
there was something about it because i kept going but still by the penultimate chapter i was still like "man, fuck everything about this story."
remember when Lauren gave up Paris for whats his face? whatever year that was, this is this years version of that.
it should have just been fucking cheese like nobodies bidness and left all the harder subjects it was trying to tackle to the side cus nah.
i feel bad. 
its not a bad story.
its just for me like i would have manhandled Jenny. everything about this story to me was just unbelievable.
the first year bitch? fucking expel her bitch ass. UGH. i get it, Jaewoo is too nice or whatever but still!
what was the point of the bully? to show that like nah, trust them they're human too? idk. just nah. was it like a buildup? probably but by then i was so over it that the "twist" i was like okay cool, next.
Sori & Nathaniel! gah!
the entire friendship at SAA reminded me of this book and i liked it there better.
idk. im glad i knocked out X but i also would have been okay never having read this book.
anyway, its not a bad read, its just for me its everywhere and im over that right now...i would have been okay never having read this.
SPOILERS
jenny got a review that legit said "you good foo, but you have NO emotion when you play. and you need that to place because you're about as flat as a piece of plywood board just laying there doing basically nothing" and she got so hurt that she ends up dating a K-pop Star and getting into the college of her dreams.
after she happens to land in the same school that her now boyfriend goes to in Seoul.
she lives in california.
she meets J for all of like 4 hours or something.
her uncle was like take chances and then all of a sudden her busy ass mom who never has time for her has to go back to Seoul because of grama's imminent surgery which when it finally happens, it turns out it wasnt that urgent bc its not til the end and anyway, of all the schools she lands in the same one that Jaewood goes to. so like even though the whole entire time shes for the relationship and i mean all of the stars aligned for them, she still ends up ruining it in the end only to fix it again.
the whole entire story she just keeps shitting on all of her opportunities for Jaewoo even though he's already at the top and she's barely getting started on her life's journey but in the end she gets it all.
im over this one.
thxbye
