Super Fake Love Song was quite a raw story of how a boy (Sunny Dae) changes himself in order to impress a girl. The moment I read about how Sunny was going to act like he was this really cool rock star to impress his new (and attractive) neighbor, Cirrus Soh, I had a feeling it would be quite a chaotic book. So basically, Sunny makes himself like his cool brother when his brother was in high school.

Sour

1.brutal - 3/10 - The song itself is very punk rock and is a great song for this genre, however it does not fit the style of the album. It is different instrumentation and is a completely different genre from the majority of the album.

I think that this book was great. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes a little romance but also a little conflict. Anyone who likes K-pop especially will enjoy this book a ton. I think it has the perfect mix of having to choose what you love, over who you love. In this book a girl had to choose her dream of playing cello, over her special love interest. Overall, I loved reading this book and getting sucked into K-pop romance and I think anyone else who might enjoy that will love this book and I think they should read it.

Everyone wants to be Daisy Jones. She has it all — talent, beauty, charisma. Meanwhile, Billy Dunne’s band, The Six, are so close to fame — they just need something extraordinary to push them across the threshold. That something extraordinary, a producer realizes, is Daisy Jones. Nobody knows what it is, but when they’re all together, they make magic. Their first album, Aurora, rocks the country, propelling them to the top of the music scene. But behind the curtain, nothing is as it seems.
