K-pop gets the Gossip Girl treatment when Alice Choy is catapulted into the life of a
manufactured popstar at the elite Top10 Entertainment's Star Academy. When seventeen-year-old
Alice Choy moved from San Francisco to Seoul she left behind her friends - and the regular
singing lessons she used to love. Now the only singing she does is karaoke with her little
sister in Myeongdong. That is until she's spotted by a scout for Top10 Entertainment and
invited to attend their Star Academy. But sculpting herself into one-fifth of
soon-to-be-launched K-pop group A-List is hard work. It's rising at dawn for lung-crushing
cardio dancing drills and calorie controlled meals. It's egos and rivalry and secrets lived
outside of the public eye because if A-list gets on the wrong side of a certain influential
blogger and the anti-fans then Alice's dreams of being an idol might never materialize. A
debut novel about standing out and fitting in dreaming big and staying true.
