I'll Be the One

This was a really sweet, fluffy teen romcom. I'm not very familiar with K-pop but I still enjoyed the book; I suspect the many many readers who ARE fans of K-pop will enjoy this even more. I love Skye as a fat-positive main character, and I love that she specifically responds to the power of media representation–that as a bi Asian-American woman she's super stoked to see an Asian WLW couple because it's rare and makes her feel seen. In that vein, this book will make a lot of characters feel seen.

There is some definite anti-fatness in here, primarily from the main character's mother (who slowly starts to accept her daughter but not fully, at least not by the end of the book) and one of the judges on the reality TV show. But overall it's very positive and fun.
