It’s a drama-filled yet light, fun and fluffy read. But Shine was just the perfect read for me on this gloomy day. ![]() Her struggles in the company (the dark side of the industry), with her co-trainees (you know the typical mean girls set-up), with her parents (mostly her mother who doesn’t “fully” approve of her dabbling into the Kpop world), with Jason Lee (KPop star and DB golden boy aka her love interest) and basically just as a teen.Īctually, it’s just a typical story. ![]() Shine’s story follows through the character of Rachel Kim, a 17-year old Korean-American trainee at DB entertainment who’s trying to get a shot at debuting in a girl group. Her voice is literally a huge, I say main, selling point of this book. ![]() Jung’s an authentic voice when it comes to narrating a story that deals with the KPop industry because she knows, she experienced it and she breathes it. ![]() Where does fiction starts and reality ends? Which aspects of the story did she stretch things too far to fit and fill the fiction side? How many percent of the book is real, like truly happened for real? Those are the questions that repeatedly floated around my head as I’m reading Shine because we know the author, Jessica Jung, went through the entire process in reality. Shine is one of those books wherein I question the line between reality and fiction. Typing this rambling in while blasting This is Girls’ Generation playlist on Spotify… ![]()
