About This Audiobook

When high school junior Aliyah’s messy, overachieving life collides with the glittering world of K-pop, things get chaotic fast. After a viral tweet accidentally tags the biggest boy group’s leader, @KPopPrinceMin, in a rant about her dismal prom prospects, she’s stunned when he slides into her DMs with an offer: prom date with a side of global fame. What starts as a cringe-worthy scheme spirals into a whirlwind of media frenzy, cultural clashes, and unwelcome feelings for Min’s guarded personality. Kat Cho’s sharp, witty prose nails the awkwardness of teenage life while serving up a feast of K-pop insider details—think staging drama, fanbases with vendettas, and the pressure to be ‘perfectly interesting’ online. The result is a romance that’s equal parts hilarious and heartfelt, wrapped in a neon-lit package that’s impossible to look away from. If you’ve ever scrolled #KPopTwitter after midnight or fantasized about dodging detention to chase your dreams, this audiobook will feel like your personal guilty pleasure.

Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Jackie Chung’s narration is the secret weapon here, turning Aliyah’s snarky inner monologue into a full-contact sport without losing the emotional beats. Her performance of Min’s stoic, multilingual charm is especially fun—she nails the cadence of someone used to being worshipped but secretly exhausted by it. The pacing races like a TikTok trend: short, punchy chapters with cliffhangers that keep you listening way past bedtime. That said, the side characters sometimes feel like cameos rather than crew. Min’s bandmates, for example, blur together despite their supposed star power, and the subplot about Aliyah’s overbearing mom feels tacked on instead of organic. Still, Cho’s writing is so vivid that you’ll swear you’ve lived inside a K-pop fan account by the end. The chemistry between Aliyah and Min crackles—until it doesn’t, and then it does again, all within the span of a single bus ride. If you need a rom-com that’s messy, modern, and unapologetically extra, this audiobook delivers.
