Description
Sori has worked her whole life to become a K-pop idol, until she realizes she doesn’t want a life forever in the spotlight. But that’s not actually up to Sori—she’s caught between her exacting mother’s entertainment company and her father’s presidential aspirations. And as the pressure to keep her flawless public image grows, the last person she should be thinking about is her ex-boyfriend. Nathaniel is off limits—she knows this. A member of one of the biggest K-pop bands in the world and forbidden from dating, he isn’t any more of an option now than he was two years ago. Still, she can’t forget that their whirlwind romance was the last time she remembers being really happy. Or that his family welcomed her into their home when she needed it most. . . . So when Nathaniel finds himself rocked by scandal, Sori offers him a hideaway with her. And back in close quarters, it’s hard to deny their old feelings. But when Sori gets an opportunity to break free from her parent’s expectations, she will have to decide if her future is worth sacrificing for a second chance at love?

Es una historia que se lee con mucha fluidez y permite conocer mejor el mundillo del kpop. Aunque siento que, si no conoces de antemano la cultura coreana, hay muchos datos que no se explican bien y puede resultar confuso. Siento que este libro está más orientado a quien ya conozca y le guste el mundo kpop.Otra cosa que no me ha convencido es la forma de comportarse de los protagonistas respecto a sus edades. Son como muy críos, pero con actitud de chicos de veintipico. No me cuadraba mucho eso, pero es una opinión mía personal.Tiene vibes a kdrama, lo que ha ayudado a que el ritmo fuera ágil y fluido.
I WANT MORE.XOXO gave me the same feelings I had when I watched Dream High before. Long story short, I liked reading XOXO as much as I liked watching Dream High. I was honestly both scared and excited for the release of ASAP - excited since I wanted more of Sori and Nathaniel, scared because I didn't like Dream High 2. XOXO was swoony, the romance felt dream-like and idealistic. ASAP, meanwhile, was more realistic. It showed more of the ugly side of Kpop: dating scandals. As someone who has been into Kpop since 2009, I really don't understand why its' such a big deal when idols date. I love Sori. I love Nathaniel. I love reading their moments together. Their flirtations, the way Nathaniel would tease Sori. As I said, their story felt more realistic compared to Jenny and Jaewoo's (except for the staying together thing). I related more with Sori's troubles than with Jenny's. Although I am giving this a five star rating, this story is somewhat more predictable than the previous book. Also, is it safe to assume that Sun would also get his story next? Sun barely had any moments in XOXO, but you read more of him in ASAP. If he does get his story, I am definitely reading it.
