This is the fluffy, happily-ever-after, YA romance that I crave every now and then.  I loved this book and it made me smile reading it.  I liked that this book dealt with fatphobia and beauty standards in Korean and American culture.  It also dealt with strained parent/child relationship, LGBTQ+ issues, and bullying.  I loved that Skye had support from friends and others, but she was ultimately her own source of encouragement.  She believed in herself and gave herself confidence, even if it meant battling the voices in her head.  There is a good amount of queer characters and I am happy that there is bi representation!  Lots of pop culture references and, of course, K-pop songs and references!  I will be thinking about Henry for a very long time because he is simply perfect.

 This book is as sunshiny as the cover! A soft, no stress YA contemporary with an easy-to-root-for protagonist, a sweet romance, and some great queer rep. I loved the excuse to jump into the world of K-Pop and I loved the standing-up-for-yourself-taking-up-space theme.
